Friday: Day 3, when I woke up, I was worried it would be a continuation of the day before. Headache, foggy vision, etc., but it wasn't! I actually woke up feeling refreshed and ready to go. I did get a slight headache that afternoon, but it passed, and the day went on without incident (i.e. cheating).... Continue Reading →
Whole30 – Day 2: The Hangover
Morning. I woke up late again because I just completely forgot to set my alarm this morning. I have done this twice now. I'm convinced it's because my new job hardly feels like work. I really like going to the office everyday, so I am no longer in the mindset of "Do I really need... Continue Reading →
Whole30 – Day 1
Morning: I got up (late) and got ready for work. On my way out the door, I heated up my Blackberry Sage Sausage patties I'd made the night before. They were wonderful! Then I checked on my homemade mayo I'd also made that night. Big fat nope. I would have to try again tonight, but... Continue Reading →

Trust Your Instincts – Part 2 of 2
So before I sent the screenshot to mine and J’s girlfriend's mutual friend (we will call her “Sarah”), I did not know that he was engaged to this girl. I didn’t find that out until the next morning when I talked to Sarah. So when I found the profile picture with them both in it... Continue Reading →
Trust Your Instincts — Part 1 of 2
When I was a kid, there was a house in my neighborhood that I refused to sell Girl Scout cookies to. I could not shake the feeling I got from that house every time I walked past it (which was easy to do since it was two doors down from my own house). Thankfully, I... Continue Reading →
Always Walk A Girl to Her Door
Last night I went on a date with a cop whom we will call M. We had been talking for a couple of days and decided to meet up for drinks. He lives in Concord and offered to come to Uptown to meet me. So, me being the lazy bum that I am, I picked... Continue Reading →
Let It Go
There is a certain personality I’ve run across while meeting new people, and I have since learned that, guy or girl, we will never get along well. It’s the overly sensitive person who can’t (or refuses to) admit it. They try to hide behind a tough exterior. This person tries hard to be sarcastic and... Continue Reading →
Pro Tip: Think Smarter, Not Harder
I started talking to a guy on Tinder that we will call ‘A’. A is a personal trainer with two cats. We had a pretty good talk and seemed to have a lot in common. He drives a stick (thank you!) and, other than the fact that he has two cats, seemed like a really... Continue Reading →
How To Lose A Girl In One Date
If you ever happen to find yourself wondering, "How do I get this chick to never want a second date with me?" Just tell me Game of Thrones "isn't that great." But before I tell this story, let me back up a little bit. I got back on Tinder, and, as expected, it has been quite entertaining. Everyone from... Continue Reading →
