Is anyone still out there? I have not logged into livejournal in two years. In my last entry I was baking bubble bread and fittingly I am baking bubble bread right now. I have missed you, livejournal.

Having one of my Betty Crocker moments. I made cinnamon and sugar bubble bread this morning. It is damn tasy, full of butter, and probably very bad for me. Betty Crocker doesn't care about calories and fat though! Betty Crocker is immortal.

Wishing I had something interesting to post. I made an idiot of myself with a man, I suppose that's interesting but not exactly a news flash either. The other night while waiting for a friend to give me directions to an AA potluck I met up with another friend at a bar for a drink. That's something to smile about. I should note that I wasn't ( Read more... )

I got stood up by my non-date. That's pretty funny. I'm actually glad the guy didn't show as I had zero enthusiasm for the non-date anyway, but it's amusing to bleat that the guy who didn't ask me out didn't take me out. Ha! Still went out with my friends and that was muy enjoyable. We started at one of the friends' houses, a cute, little ( Read more... )

I've been baited and switched into a date-type situation this Saturday night. One of my dear friends asked if I wanted to go out for dinner with some people. I said sure. Turns out it's a couple of couples, a guy who requested my presence (through the friend) and moi. So, three couple-type people. A triple date. This means I am probably going ( Read more... )

Wow. I think I'm over it.* This heartbreak thing. I think I'm actually over it. Well, that was fast.

*I'm well aware I might be speaking too soon, but for the moment. . . I feel just fine.

My love life is in a state of confusion and limbo right now. This makes me cranky. I know what I want, but I can't have it. At least not now. Possibly not ever. But I had a taste of it and now I am spoiled. The bitterness and anger I thought I had left behind in the wake of The Very Bad Last Breakup That Still Will Not End seems to be back. ( Read more... )

I generally avoid sports, watching or playing, but mostly playing, and thus I have avoided suffering sports injuries. Racquetball has always been my one exception to this rule and for many years it has never turned on me. But now the time has come. I got a new racquet and my new racquet with its advertised "killing power" has done a number on my ( Read more... )

Went to see Henry Rollins do spoken word last night. Hank's beginning to recycle his schtick, but it's still worth hearing. Unfortunately I was in a bad state--I'd been sick to my stomach all day so I quit eating and by the time the show ended I was so low on blood sugar I felt like I was going to faint. Then I was snappish with my friends (sorry ( Read more... )

Today was a furlough day and I made the most of it by hanging out with bolt77. We rarely have the same day off but today the planets arranged just perfectly. We hit a new-to-us wine bar in Scottsdale and I got very tipsy. I tried a wine flight, all reds as there is no reason for wine to be anything but red in my world. Alex tried to convince me that ( Read more... )
