Grrr Men

Posted on September 22, 2009
So men are really pissing me off today. First it was my boss who kept insisting I invite a coworker who is in the middle of an international relocation/vacation to several meetings this week. I finally said, “Um, boss, not to be rude or out of line, but isn’t [coworker x] on vacation?” His [...

Sunday Stealing: One Long Meme (Part One)

Posted on September 19, 2009
1. The phone rings. Who will it to be? My mother or my brother. Hence the 10,000 voicemails on my cell… LOL. 2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart? No, I suck and I am lazy. If it’s close, I will; otherwise it goes near my [...

Blah

I am very unhappy. Work is stressful. Life is stressful. Future uncertain. Bad dreams. Daddy leaving tomorrow to live indefinitely on the other side of the world. Boo! That is all. Tweet This Post

Memories

Posted on September 13, 2009
I need new perfume. I’ve been out of my signature scent, Sensuous, for a few months now, but I still have body cream. Unfortunately every time I put it on it makes me think of Blue Eyes and this last year of difficult divorce recovery. So I don’t wear it...

Bliss

Posted on September 13, 2009
Have I mentioned that I love Mr. V? Totally, completely. I fell for him the moment we met when he walked into the restaurant on our first date, came up to the bar where I was sitting, and kissed me until my toes curled. That’s when I knew...

Helpless

Posted on September 10, 2009
My boss is full of promises and CRAP. Promised me travel and growth in my career if I ensured that my schedule was “flexible enough” to handle it. I.e., he strongly encouraged me to stop attending law school and then backpedaled later. Now, after several months of promising to get me help, [...

Blogger slack

Posted on September 07, 2009
I’ve been in a funk lately. Working too much, too stressed, and feeling unmotivated to blog. That said, I do have some news. My Dad finally got a job this week. But it’s in the UAE. The good news is that it’s what he wants and he is super-excited...

Sunday Stealing: The Ellie Bellie Meme What are your most common nicknames? I could tell you but then you’d know. Right now Mr. V’s calling me “The Pusher” because he says the food I make him is crack. What is today’s weather? Sunny and hot, like every other day...

Haven?t Drowned Yet

Posted on August 29, 2009
The past week was one of my busiest ever at work. I worked 10 hours Monday, 13.25 Tuesday, 13.5 Wednesday, 11.75 Thursday and 4 on Friday (yeah, took the day off after a morning meeting). And Pumpkinhead was sick. Fortunately my boss FINALLY hired the second of two paralegals (and a former [...

Shacking Up

Posted on August 29, 2009
Since I was already off work yesterday because Pumpkinhead was sick and had to go to the doctor’s office, Mr. V and I decided to hit the bank and take yet another step in our relationship. We opened up a joint account. I think this is a good thing...

Pumpkinhead?s First Week

Posted on August 29, 2009
Pumpkinhead started First Grade at his new school this week. He was concerned that it wouldn’t go well because it wasn’t his same school from Kindergarten but all those concerns were obviously assuaged when he came bouncing home Monday afternoon telling us it is was a “short and awesome” day...

Randomness

Posted on August 23, 2009
My brother is in town. With his fiance. I haven’t met her and I haven’t seen him for a year and a half since he angered my mother so much she had to physically send him back home (he was visiting) and, a day later, she suffered a massive heart attack...

Outed in Anonymous Blogland

Posted on August 22, 2009
Ever since a friend – we will call her ND – had to shut her awesome blog down suddenly and under really, really horrible circumstances, I’ve been pondering the various ways blogging can go wrong. CNN shared the story of a blogger in Pittsburgh who decided to out herself recently and promptly lost her job...

Keep Moving

Posted on August 16, 2009
Yesterday was Moving Day. Pumpkinhead and I are now officially living in sin with Mr. V. LOL. Of course the house is a disaster area and my back/arms/legs are in enormous pain so that won’t change anytime soon. I have to go back to the old house and finish painting the [...

Stronger Woman

Posted on August 05, 2009
This past year has been one of a lot of personal growth. This time last year I was reeling but the one thing I knew was that I needed to start putting my needs first and asking for what I deserve. The song “Stronger Woman” by Jewel was out at the time and [...

Divorce? the saga continues

Posted on August 05, 2009
I am entering my 7th week with no child support. The summer is not a good time for this, as you single parents are well aware. My summer daycare costs have been high. Add to that the moving expenses, the $6,200 I had to pay to SELL the house, the student loan [...

Work Frustration

Posted on July 28, 2009
So I work in the legal department of a large corporation and I am seriously, seriously, SERIOUSLY overworked right now. I finally convinced my boss to hire me some help (clutching my stomach and threatening to vomit blood on his desk probably helped) and we had a person in mind...
