Samoas. Trefoils. Lent. Giving up cookies and more.

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I spent majority of my weekend in bed with whatever-the-hell-it-is flu thing that has been moving from person to person. This morning, while my fever has recovered, I’m still feeling the bit of aches especially in my neck and middle back. It may or may not have to do with spending 85.3% of my Friday-to-Sunday [...]

I am giving up on making passes, and I am giving up on half empty glasses.

Step off, I’m doin’ the Hump!

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Ha! I knew I’d be singing this song all day… Keeping with tradition (and with that I’m too busy to be all creative), a girlfriend-who-shall-remain-anonymous asked her own Juicy Questions (and just in time for TMI Thursdays):
1 - What is the definition of an “open relationship” and is it good or bad for a committed [...]

I’d pay the devil to replace her

Before you know it, another weekend of ex-boyfriends, Comfy Clothes and ice skating might be upon us. Let’s just get on with it, shall we two-horned horny beasts?
Twestival was last Thursday at Harry Buffalo’s downtown, where a bunch of Twitter Friends made pals over free pizza and (not free) beer. Awesomely, I had two guy [...]

Fail Blog makes it too easy for me on Tuesdays:

Tell your girls that you love them!

Friday, February 13th, 2009

I am beyond blessed in the Awesome Girlfriends Department. Through thick-and-thin, single or attached, smeared mascara or passed out in handicap stalls, they are always there for me — and not just to listen to me carry on about New Douche or Old Douche or Soon-to-be-Douche.
Share the love and A Cautionary Tale for your beloved [...]

A weekend wrap-up when the weekend is about to hit once again!

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

Whew. Where does the week go? Obviously, I’ve been distracting myself with questions asked by YOU (my lovely readers) — and it’s been great fun. So, go ahead, ask some more. I actually like connecting with you this way.
By the by, last week my females-be-jealous and I took on Rocky River for a bunch of [...]

Only asked four, but I made it five!

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

A devoted lurker reader (hehe)  submitted his questions:
1.  Do you ever go back and look at your old posts and think to yourself…I can’t believe I wrote that about so-and-so (exes)?
Absolutely! I cannot tell you how many times I have gone back to read my posts from the beginning of a relationship, and once it’s [...]

New “change” of pace for 5 questions!

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Jason, I’m hanging on for the ride! BloggingJason redirected my world with his five:
1) An extremist faction of PETA has kidnapped you as part of an evil plot to turn somebody into one of the animals from the Cleveland Zoo’s Rainforest. But, it’s PETA, so they can’t get anything right- They can only transform you [...]

Everybody’s doing it! Asking me questions, that is!

Dan continued the does-not-know-me-in-real-life blogger conversation with his five questions:
You seem like you really enjoy writing, why and who got you started blogging?
Thank you, Dan. I DO enjoy writing. I started an anonymous blog on blogger WAY back in 2002. Seriously. Prior to that, I kept a handwritten journal. After one particular weekend in [...]

Penis Tuesday

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

When hot oils go terribly, terribly wrong! I laughed hysterically at this story about Jamie Oliver.
Gentlemen: although sexy, never cook naked! We need that utensil!
Happy Valentine’s Day Week Penis Tuesday!

Your burning questions… Part Two.

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

I’m answering your questions all this week. Submit five to { melinda - at - pursuitofyourboyfriend - dot - com } or leave a comment. There are no rules — only to be creative and honest.
Paul - a newly-formed Twitter friend - opened Pandora’s Box with these:
1 - What single idea, dream, thought, etc. most [...]

You asked. Err, well Alexa did.

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I’m not a huge meme junkie, but it seemed a fitting time as any to answer some questions from my readers. Here are five questions submitted by Alexa of cleveland’s a plum:
1. being cleveland’s original gangsta of blogging, over the course of the years that you have been putting your life out there for all [...]

Because somebody asked nicely

And then I realized that in my profile photo, I’m still blonde.
I need to find that t-shirt and start posing…

And then THAT part happens after the break-up…

Friday, February 6th, 2009

A free day.
Friends voices and calls ceased for a night.
A day alone.
With chores and empty thoughts.
Then the laundry is all folded and put away.
And a stupid cloth napkin from the wash reminded you of him.
The day winded down.
And you settled into bed.
The quiet reminded you that his Good Night Call was not coming.
The anger subsided [...]

Things to do when you’re Suddenly Single:

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

1. Surround yourself with friends
This makes for an obvious “duh,” but I really enjoyed spilling my unwanted emotions over kafta rolls and fatoosh at Nate’s Deli and releasing the fury of my fruit  and cheese cravings at the West Side Market.  Follow that by a night of laughing at Cleveland’s Douchebaggery at Cadillac Ranch & [...]

Penis Tuesday

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Dude #1: Dude.
Dude #2: Dude?
#1: I totally got a date with that banging barista from the coffee shop later.
#2: Dude! Banging!
#1: If I’m lucky, ra? So — totally going to wear those jeans that show off my junk. But what about this hoodie: open or zipped up?

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Ha! I just noticed the “How To” Guide to Cleveland Magazine came out this week. Awesome. And they call me “perversely addicting.” Fucking love it.
Damn, why can’t I ever be single when they interview me! I’m single now! So, bring on the gracious acceptance of drinks, baby. My apologies though, for you will no longer [...]

I’m writing this post in my best bitch

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Yes. HG and I are done. But let’s make this retroactive to our initial meeting, shall we, Shady McShadester?
I did not want to date him. I did not like him. I did not trust him. I canceled our date(s). Then I gave in after his persistence in wanting to take me out. HIS. And partially [...]

I been through the desert on a post with no name.

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

I received this email Thursday night (for Friday):
Your horoscope for January 30, 2009
A new love relationship should be appearing over the horizon, Melinda, perhaps with someone as creative as yourself. This could cause a rush of self-doubt, particularly about your appearance, but don’t waste any time with this. It’s your energy the person is drawn [...]
