There is plenty of beer to go around! This past Sunday, with thanks to Blogging Jason for the event heads-up, we spent the afternoon at the Winter Warmer Festival at Rock Bottom. Winter Warmer was a happy surprise, as my expectations were just of joyfully drinking local winter brews. Ahem, no Christmas Ale at this [...]
I was talking about this event and generally how cool of an event it was. And I was discussing this with my boyfriend. You know, the one who was my “date” that night.
Um yeah. I didn’t remember it. You know, until he said, “I KNOW! I was there with you…”
Blink. Blink. The silence [...]
Interesting fun fact of the day: Today would have been my three-year wedding anniversary.
In a somewhat odd manner of celebration, I am going to have my brakes replaced today.
Talk about replacement!
There have been a LOT of changes (more than just a few new “car” parts) since the planning of that wedding (the [...]
Including that highway patrol trooper standing practically in the passing lane on 71-South.
It took five years, but I have another speeding ticket to add to my list. Shit. I was unusually nervous upon being pulled over this time too — and really, really pissed off and frustrated at myself. So much, that I cried. I [...]
Internets, I’m very, very sad today. Nay, heartbroken. This type of post is never easy…
My man is leaving Cleveland.
I was really thinking this one would last — even if just through the summer. I mean, it’s been a rough few weeks, and he hasn’t been so much on his A-game, so I suppose I [...]
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 [...]
Yesterday was a horrible day. Nay, the week has been pretty horrible. And more than just because I missed your weekly dose of Penis Tuesday.
For good measure, I’ve stocked up Sleepytime Tea (new and improved and enhanced with Valerian) and it seems to be helping with my insomnia. And I have been in bed TIRED [...]
In what initially started as a seamlessly happy week, Hump Day arrived, carrying with it two incidents involving my exes and an embarrassing tribute to life as a single person.
First wasn’t that particularly awful, and not all that bothersome to this modern girl. I understand nobody can prevent with whom they are attracted, and I [...]
The holidays are approaching. Those questions will be asked.
The idea of heading to yet another table full of plus one dinner guests physically makes me sick to my insides. In the essential sense of dating and relationships, I have not cleared that level of the game (no matter how it has been hinted).
Single women know [...]
I am trying my best to not let October suck the life out of me. I have practically ignored everything that has been thrown at me (yet playing into all those insomnia episodes anyway).
But then yesterday happened. October 28. Almost to the end of the month…
And Esteban decided he no longer wanted to be “touched [...]
This category of post is never easy.
If you pay attention to local news, you may have heard the tragic story of the four Willoughby college students involved in a head-on collision near Athens County. One of those young men is my cousin, Rodney Hynd. His friend and driver was killed, as well as the driver [...]
I am not necessarily a vengeful person; however, this morning my ears and face are burning with intense rage because I learned that someone was talking shit about me. Which, let the Karma fall where it may, I obviously do that here, but what-the-fuck-ever.
I swear to Christ I will be your worst fucking nightmare.
That being [...]
I don’t like sitting at my dining room table. I have probably eaten there a total of five times since I moved in nearly three years ago.
I usually distract myself during feeding times either on the floor at the coffee table or in front of my computer. Or “bachelor style” standing at the [...]
For whatever reason when I’m upset, I start cleaning out my closets. I “went there” again today… before it was even 8 a.m. (couldn’t sleep).
While pulling out all the shoes from the floor of my coat closet, I found a piece of paper. I almost threw it out, but I turned it over. It [...]
I met with my Realtor last night to place my condo back on the market. Obviously, it’s NOT a good market to do that, but I never realized HOW bad. It’s worse than I imagined. I purchased it in 2006 — completely renovated with everything brand new (sans furnace). My market analysis reports that no [...]
Day four complete with no nicotine.
Update: my dick is still not bigger.
In a strange twist of conversation, my sister told me that when my ex-fiance and I broke up a few years ago that he sent all my sisters each their own heartfelt “break-up” letter. I cannot tell you what an impact he had on the types of guys that I would keep close to my [...]
An argument is over, but your feelings will still take time to heal. Be patient.
For the first time in about 8 years, I had a panic attack yesterday (I may have had two), with hyperventilating and all. Subsequently, I had my first headache in like 12 years. My head hurt so bad, I couldn’t sleep. I tried cold compresses, a warm eye mask… but the pain was so bad, [...]
Seriously, Moment of Truth. You’re killing me.
Life, Liberty...
