So if you’ve spent any time with me over the last week or so, you know I’ve been in the mood for doom and gloom. Instead of spending my week off between jobs being productive and curious, I spent it… Read More ›
Me, Me, Me
Me, observing, exploring, dating, getting in shape and thinking.
“Son can you play me a memory? I’m not really sure how it goes, but it’s sad and it’s sweet…”
Our microwave has been acting up lately (it’s like a lightning storm in there) so we called the microwave repairman to remedy the situation. Have you tried living without a microwave? It sucks. Anyway, Mr. Microwave Repairman was supposed to… Read More ›
I’m Single, Rich (OK, that part’s a lie) and Blind as a Bat
Let’s start with the good news: 1.) I’m officially single. Time to get my Beyoncé on: (Beyoncé’s Single Ladies, in case YouTube decides I’m infringing on copyright rules). Seriously I’ve played this song at least 10 times today. And it… Read More ›
I’m Afraid we Just aren’t Carnally Combustive
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about my love life, mostly because not much is happening. My initial online dating enthusiasm quickly faded and although I’m still on this website, I’m feeling pretty blah about the whole process. In fact, I think… Read More ›
Black Sheep of the Family
I have this family member I rarely talk about on my blog because he’s not very bright and has serious behavioral issues. I’m not going to sugarcoat things: Unless he’s sleeping, he is, quite frankly, a complete asshole. His name is Alfonso… Read More ›
Brown Rice and Red Lipstick
I have made the following observations over the last few weeks: 1.) Nobody seems to like brown rice. I for, one, certainly do not. And it seems like I’m not alone. At work we get it donated at least a dozen… Read More ›
I’m Pregnant with a Colombian Man
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done one of these and because I have nothing in particular to write about today, I figured I might as well discuss some of the most popular search terms that lead to my… Read More ›
This is Probably Why Online Dating Gets a Bad Rap
Let me preface this post by saying that the majority of messages I receive on this online dating site I’m on are of the benign, if slightly unoriginal, variety. (Hi beautiful; How r u? What r u up 2? Wanna… Read More ›
My Blog Needs a New Name
My nomad days are over and my blog needs a new name. Any ideas?
Another Day, Another Snail’s Pace Jog
I was feeling motivated again this morning so I woke up early and went on another snail paced jog. According to my newly downloaded pedometer, I walked/jogged 4,158 steps. Not too bad and I’m feeling like that’s a pretty good… Read More ›
Getting Back in the Swing of Things
I’ve been thinking a lot about my thoughts on health, fitness and self-acceptance since I read a Kate Winslet quote on body image — you can read my thoughts on body image here. I’ve realized that being thin isn’t as essential to me as it… Read More ›
As I am
I usually like sticking to the frivolous and superficial on my blog but a post I encountered today really made me think about the way I see myself — and how women in general see themselves. I’m trying to make… Read More ›
It’s Almost Summer and I Still Want to Run a 5K
Lately, every time I attempt to lose weight the following happens: I start off strong, the pounds (initially) melt off and I feel fantastic. Then, a few months in everything stops! I plateau and get frustrated because NOTHING IS HAPPENING…. Read More ›
Search Terms Part II: Skinny Spanish Guy Dancing in Speedo
I’ve decided to dedicate a search terms answer/explanation post to non-Colombian man related searches that lead to my blog. Although the vast majority of searches that lead to my blog are still related to Colombia and Colombian men, lately I’ve… Read More ›
It was a Hot and Steamy Summer Evening
Yesterday felt like the first real day of summer. It rained and thundered all afternoon and by late evening, when the rain had passed, it was so hot and so humid that actual summer fog formed. I love those types of summer evenings…. Read More ›
Money’s not an Issue
A couple of days ago I got a message from a guy that read (more or less): Would you like to go out sometime? Money’s not an issue so we can go anywhere you like. This seems abnormal to me. I… Read More ›
Jogging Club
Yesterday my friend Kim joined me and Tanya for our second jogging club get together. My best friend was in the hospital for a couple of weeks so we went off the program while she got better, but now we’re back! Though not… Read More ›
I Can See the World Clearly!
Not wanting to spend $300 on glasses, I decided to buy some glasses online. This was a little bit of a risk because I had to kind of hope for the best as there was no way to try them… Read More ›
