Greetings from Cancún, Mexico! Remarkably, I managed to wake up on time to catch my flight and made it here without issue (outside of the overweight bag. Seriously, my suitcase must weigh 49 pounds on its own. WTF??? I packed bikinis, people. Argh.). In case you were wondering, my solo vacation has been fabulous, and educational. A few tidbits for your reading pleasure. Continue reading

Flying Solo
Yeah, it will be really hard to take in this kind of view without anyone to enjoy it with. Yep. Poor me.
In a few short days, I will be heading out of town for a week of sun, sleep, spa, and (hopefully) total and complete relaxation. Vacation! It cannot get here quickly enough. I am sure I will have a blast, and how can I not? I’m going with me, myself and I. No one else.
Crazy, right? Am I INSANE?? Or is this just a reflection of my “sad and pathetic” life? Continue reading
I Don’t Do Sick
I am sick. It blows. I hate it. I am a terrible patient.
I haven’t felt that great for the past two weeks or so, although nothing that was bad enough to alter my day-to-day activities. A few headaches, body aches and overall fatigue — all normal feelings for me, although usually not all at once. Every day. For several days. So I took a few doses of DayQuil here and there, or something for the headache, but overall it was manageable and I could still get on with my life.
Until today. Continue reading
Don’t Try This At Home
I am a walking disaster. There really is no other way to put it. Even at however many tens of thousands of feet in the air I am as I write this, surrounded by strangers on my connecting flights to Mexico, I hide my head in shame — and not only because my appearance makes it blatantly obvious that I am working on about an hour of sleep. Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful, people. Continue reading

Did I ASK You, “How Do I Look?”, Motherf&@#er????
Here is a summary of (unsolicited) comments I received over the past several weeks:
“You look tired.”
“You look sad.”
“What’s wrong?”
“You look stressed out.”
“Why are your eyes puffy?”
“Are you all right? Are you sure? Really?”
“You’re beautiful for 39.”
(Please note … I AM NOT 39! I have many, many, many years to go!). Continue reading

The Weekend of Irene
So last week was a bitch. Seriously, most days I felt as though I had been run over by a truck — and then that truck backed up and ran over me again. However, a 9-hour sleep on Thursday and a 12-hour sleep on Friday certainly re-charged my batteries. While I was up and full of energy before 7 a.m. on Saturday morning, Arlington County declared a state of emergency and joined the rest of the East coast on a Hurricane Irene PANIC!!!!!!! alert/watch.
