I Kissed A Guy (and I Like It) Shhhh….

Yes, that was me making out with a total stranger in the middle of the dance floor on Saturday night.  He was from out of town, totally hot, tattoo’d and he had a tongue ring.  We danced hip to hip all evening, and when he aggressively bit down on my lower lip, I felt electrified….

He May Be Right Around The Corner

  This is it — my final day of work before I get 9 glorious days of freedom.  NINE days to play!!!!  I so desparately need this time off.   I’m going to savour every single second of my vacation.  Leisure mornings, trail runs, river floats, evening patio beverages with friends, dog walks, sun filled…

Sunny Side Up Please

I’m having my mood sunny side up with a side o’ bacon today.  I’m sick of scrambled and hash — bring on the hollandaise.  Or should I say holidays?!?  2.5 more days and this little chicky has one whole week off.  Sun, fun, and if I’m lucky some HUNS. This is the first day since…

Finding Love

Finding love in your 40s is not an easy feat.  It has been over three years since my last relationship ended, and I have not enjoyed the process of finding someone new.  For the first year after my break up, I had no interest in dating what-so-ever.  The only thing I wanted was to be…

Soaking Up The Sunshine

Summer is finally here!  The forecast for this week shows tempatures reaching mid-thirties (86F). We’ve had a slow start to summer this year; so I’m ready to soak up some sunshine. I love summer because everyone slows down to focus on the simple pleasures in life.   Backyard bbq, flip-flops, and sundresses are in store for the next…

The Daily Grind — Facebook Style

Time has been on my mind lately.  More specifically, the passing of time.  This is undoubtably part of getting older.  Time becomes more precious when you realize that half your life is already over.  Regrettably, I find myself becoming more and more worried about wasting time. One of the guys from work would answer to that…

Dear Rejection

Dear Rejection, It was very nice seeing you this weekend, and I hope you enjoyed your stay.  I hope you don’t mind my bluntness when I say “you scare me.” Please don’t take that the wrong way, as I know you mean well.  However, whenever there’s a chance of seeing you, I second guess myself….

The New Kid on the Block

Being a new blogger — I have no idea if it is proper etiquette to post twice in one day; however, tonight I will do just that.  I just spent the last two hours reading blogs, and unexpectedly it took away my Friday night loneliness.  As part of my Friday Positivity Project, I told myself…

The Friday Positive Project

Writer’s block — I had writer’s block today.  In the English class I’m taking right now, I was told that to become a better writer I need to write as often as I can.  Even when I don’t want to, and even when I have nothing to say.  So that’s what I did.  I opened…

Anticipation

Happily ever after – not my usual train of thought before going on a first date.  For the most part, my biggest first date wish is – survival.  Today, however, is not like most pre-date anxiety.  The feeling I have is completely foreign to me; hard to explain.  Could it be I’m feeling excited about it? How this date came…
