Such a Loser

Posted on March 20, 2009
I am sitting in a wine bar drinking a LOT of wine. And cheese (which my nutrritionsit has had me off for weeks). An hour ago I was sitting in my hair salon and got an e-mail that made me burst into tears. Which apparently means I am as emotionally unstable as [...

Strung out

Posted on March 17, 2009
Last night I went over to my friend’s house for dinner. She’s divorcing her husband and dealing with a bipolar 10 year-old and a new baby. It is all very sad and overwhelming but she’s getting through it. She was sitting on the floor talking about how she would look at the [...

Gearing up

Posted on March 16, 2009
Crazy week ahead. Tomorrow is set to be another busy day at work. Friday was a bit of a nightmare so I’m hoping Monday won’t repeat. Just checked my work e-mail and only had two from angry company executives following up on Friday’s work disaster...

Crazy Beautiful Life

Posted on March 15, 2009
This has been such an insane weekend. Spent Friday night having dinner with my parents, Pumpkinhead and a friend from my DivorceCare group. We had a blast and she really hit it off with my parents. Hopefully we can get together again soon. Then yesterday I spent most of the day volunteering...

Never mind

Posted on March 15, 2009
Had an awesome massage but apparently this is supposed to be a bad day for me. The Dude texted me this morning asking if we could get together tonight. We talked on the phone to firm it up. But when push came to shove, he bailed. Mind you, I bailed on [...

Obama?s ?sensitive? Choice

Posted on March 13, 2009
The New York Times reports today that, barely two months into his first term, President Obama is having to face the “difficult” choice of whether to offer health benefits to domestic partners of government employees. To do so would be a great step forward for equal rights...

A Post for New Duck

Posted on March 13, 2009
New Duck answered my Reader Survey and asked me to blog about what things were like growing up. I assume she wasn’t looking for a deep psychobabble-filled recount of the dysfunctional history with my ADHD/raging abusive brother, narcissistic mother and bipolar father...

Saving my soul

Posted on March 12, 2009
Anon is very concerned about me. Since she asked and since I meant to blog about this anyway, I’ll tell you all about church this weekend. I won’t talk about the two sweet, super-hot guys I met on Craigslist who are each vying to be my exclusive FWB (the [...

Mommy Guilt

Posted on March 12, 2009
I bow down to my son, the super master king of guilt trips, who totally got me this morning. I had a jam-packed day at work, as usual. On Monday night we received a note that his class would be singing in a show today at 2. I told him his Mimi [.....

More Like It

Posted on March 11, 2009
So last night was a bit of a disaster but tonight was a definite improvement. Through my Craigslist ad (which I only kept up for a few hours because I was flooded with responses), I met a fun guy (his blog name will be “the Dude”) who was completely down with my [...

Crap on a cracker and no sleep

Posted on March 10, 2009
A few light of day TMI revelations (just run away now): 1. Men are way too easy. 2. DadsHouse was right about Craigslist 3. Remember this summer when I blogged about the selfish too-tiny men with ED issues and an inability to satisfy a woman? Apparently they are everywhere...

Aw Crap!

Posted on March 09, 2009
I’m a couple of beers into my evening so forgive the following post. 1. Really cute/sweet vendor working on a project at work. I’m crushing on him but he probably won’t ask me out because, well, I’m paying him $65k. Little bit of a conflict of interest...

Dancing Queen

Posted on March 08, 2009
So I told my friends I was going to blog this. They know I had a blast going out with them. But here’s the thing. Remember how I was married from 20 to 29 and I was wondering what social life in my 30s was going to be like since I completely [...

Cha-Cha-Cha

Posted on March 08, 2009
One step forward, two steps back. There’s a Big Ass Truck in my driveway. And my fully paid-off Honda CR-V is in Chapin’s possession. How did this happen, you ask? I blame my Dad…. Two weeks ago, when yet again I had to help make the payment because Chapin couldn’t do so, [...

Pull Up a Chair (Reader Survey)

I’d like to take a moment to find out a bit more about you all. I get about 1,500 readers a week, many of you unique, and I’d like to understand why you are reading. So I’m asking a few questions and I’d appreciate it if you would take a moment to answer [...

Jeff Mac?s Dating Theory

Posted on March 07, 2009
I think God is trying to tell me something. I open up Bloglines this morning and one of the first Manslations posts in my reader is about dating as a single mom. A snippet: LESSONS FROM COMEDY-ENJOY THE HELL GIGS When you?re a comic, especially starting out, one thing is guaranteed...

$7 on the 7th

Posted on March 07, 2009
On March 24, 2008, little Madeline Elizabeth Logelin came into this world. The next day, her mother left it. From this impossibly tragic event, a community was born. A community of individuals, united in their desire to help and support Madeline and her father, Matt...

Hanging with Aliens

Posted on March 06, 2009
John Gray thinks I should go out on more casual dates. I actually hear that a lot. And now that @MarsVenus is following dysfunctional me on Twitter (I’m flattered!), I suppose perhaps I should take the advice, loosen up, and go out on the occasional casual date without the expectation of [...
