I spent the five o’clock hour losing half my water weight

Christ, Fitworks. Take it down a notch. 80 degrees is NOT a comfort zone. I pre-emptively mentioned that “things were better” in regard to my hearing loss… well, for a day anyway. While plugging away at my internship, I experienced this unsettling ear pop, then about an hours-worth of vertigo-associated symptoms. My palms were sweating so intensely that I watched the beads of...

Status: Still happy.

Text sent: Just thinking bout you Text received: nothing “Status, still happy?” you ask? Yes. Because instead of the normal bedtime manner of texting banter back-and-forth, we spent 40 minutes actually talking. Who cares if half of it was about American Idol… there were also plans to put in place for next weekend. (Yeah!)

Trip’d out!

A traditional Thanksgiving dinner is served at my mom’s house. I crave the typical feasts of cheesy potatoes, green bean casseroles, and green jello with peaches, but I salivate over my mother’s pasta. This “tradition” started when I went through an anti-poultry tirade over the course of 4 or 5 yearly Thanksgiving meals. I gave up poultry completely after being the freeway partner...

I think I need more publicity!

A friend let me know at the Cleveland Scene “Best of…” Party at Velvet Dog Friday night that a radio interview included mention of Cleveland’s Best Barfly (moi!) and some reference to my hotness. Sweet. The party was pretty cool — I loved the band (I wish I knew the name of the band **UPDATE: The band was Blue Lunch).** and wished I had a dance partner. **UPDATE: oh,...

I’ll be right back, bitches!

Geesh. Impatient persons! I have been busy with this (uh, welcome to Cleveland State)… and this (work has been stressful and yet I STILL need a second job!)… and this (YOU try squeezing in 3-4 days of cardio!). Shit. This too (Vegas plans for October with a 44-minute reservation conversation with United via satellite from Pluto which is no longer a planet). And sadly, this (I cannot find...

Post before another weekend comes along!

Happy Birfday KT! (with special recognition to my internet stalker, Beachie! — yes, you both share the same bday and B, you only get half love). The best crowd showed for her celebration at The Garage in the O.C. for Happy Hour and pizza proceedings. No party is ever complete without a shot… er stop at the Kenilworth. MySpace joined me at the previous location and we rode his bike back to...

Where was I… oh, yes. This silly blog thing.

Monday, had the (un)fortunate pleasure of taking in an Indians game — after some much needed happy hour Sam Adams at The Boneyard. Thanks for the loss boys… and yes, Jim Thome I was in the bleachers yelling some boos in your general direction. I believe the only reason I wasn’t expelled from Jacobs Field was because I decided to keep my game-watching (and poo-pooing) somewhere fifth...

Updates, schumcky

I didn’t win Mega Millions, so I’m back at work today. Bummer. I bought mine at some crack shop in Garfield Heights instead of that Krogers in Cinci this weekend. My Tuesday night was consumed by phone calls. I am quite frankly one of the worst people to try to contact, and even worse in returning those missed calls. I had a night with the Indians and my couch, so figured the game was a...

What Happened?

Here I am: Welcome to age 28. I spent a fun night bowling with friends for my birthday. Thanks for the AWESOME Cold Stone Red Velvet cake. It made the birthday complete. To be continued… I have been sober for 26 days.

Posting in Pajamas (in the Library)

You have a boyfriend? Well, FYI, I do too. Apparently once I got said man in my life, past beaus seemed to have come out of the gutters. Y’all remember D(period)? He still has my number in his phone, and decided to call 8 months later. Who does that? (Message: I’ve been on tour — In my opinion, I think it was jail — for the last 8 months, and decided to call to see how you’ve...

Go together like a… wha?

I woke up and thought it was Monday morning after a long and drunken weekend. Then I realized that it’s only been Tuesday and Wednesday. My fake-out-of-town husband leaves on Monday. He’s a little nervous on whether or not he’ll see me again for the holidays. Last night we spent an early Halloween at Blind Pig to watch THE game and pretend we were Pig employees for the evening. I’m...

Toasting to me!

Toasting to myself. I’m going to St. Thomas for the holiday. I’ll be looking for easter eggs in the Caribbean blue waters. Ahhhh…
