Because you almost always plead "not guilty" and hope for the best.

Ack! Introvert/perfectionist here, whose most favorite jobs were as suite attendant at a college event center and a bartender at a golf club.

I don't like talking to people I don't know. I really don't. I HATE small talk. HATE IT! Which is why I hate all the networking events my profession seems to love to have. …

I, too, am/was a HUGE fan of Regretsy.

Re: The jewelry given to you. I recommend hanging on to it for as long as you'd like. My great great (!!) aunt lived until nearly 107. She was born in 1898. She had some GORGEOUS jewelry, most of it costume, some of it real.

All of her "lady descendants" (she was never married,…

For those of you who have actually read my love-life "dramas" as of late.

Good news: Ex has not contacted me in weeks. Weeks! Hoping this pattern holds.

Awkward Friend: Made it that much more awkward last Saturday. We were talking that morning, and he made some comment that I should let him know if he was getting…

I give ALL clients my "office policies," which include the facts that I will answer texts (if it's not a long, convoluted question), I will answer emails, and I will answer phone calls - between the hours of 8:00 am and 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

I still have clients that call outside these hours (um, I can't do…

SHOES, not choes. Cripes.

I can tell you the two - TWO - distinct and absolutely ridiculous falling stories I've had.

In just this past week.

I'm 32.

On Monday, I was wearing super-cute cork wedge sandals. I was flying out of my office at lunch to grab something to eat and run a couple of work errands. I work out of a shelter, where there is a…

Aside from the super-religious employer (feel for you, I'm just lucky in that I don't have to deal with that right now), this list is spot-on for me!! Love it! ESPECIALLY Ulta & laundry. *sigh*

My situation isn't/wasn't as intense as yours, and I probably had far less sympathy for my ex. I tried ignoring him when he contacted me. He backed off for a bit, then hit it HARD - numerous texts and calls, every. Single. DAY.

I had been talking to friends & family about it. I didn't want to overreact, out of fear…

I just fucking can't with this today. Are these people serious with this shit?

Sames.

Absolutely!!! Wrestle off my suit, pry off bra, proceed to don tanks or hoodies & yoga pants (for all the yoga I do not do).

Nope, no kiddoes for me. And I never got that in to ER, so I didn't recognize her from there OR the Scooby Doo movies.

I was, however, a huge fan of F&G, and totally binge-watched it on Netflix a couple of months ago. This is why I'm still shocked I didn't make the connection!

OMG. OMG! WHY didn't I make the connection between Freaks & Geeks and Mad Men? Linda Cardellini is beautiful, and it never dawned on me that I "knew" her from somewhere else.

I don't think I have enough brain bits left intact to accomplish anything of significance today.

I am SO tired today from staying up to watch both airings of Mad Men last night. Toooooootally worth it.

I loved Joan in this. I love the ambition she was finally showing - it's been there all along, but I like the way in which she's finally starting to really focus it on redefining herself within SCDPCGC, SC&P, or…

Oh, I'm not ruling him out. I just feel awkward about the whole situation. And he's definitely not like the past couple of guys I've dated. Given the past tense, you can guess how well those "types" worked out.

But I definitely agree with the intellectual stimulation. And maybe because I haven't genuinely had that…

We were *frequently* in the same social circle. Not occasionally/frequently.

I should go to sleep.

I've become much more of an "eat when hungry" person, too. The problem for me is I will work right through being hungry (just one more letter!!! one more glance at this case!!), then I'll get home and be RAVENOUS and eat ALL THE THINGS.

However, I've also always been a lima bean person. I remember my mom giving them…

I have the most long, interesting, and funny conversations with a guy I met while in law school. He was friends with some of my friends, and of course that meant we were occasionally in the same social scene frequently.

I never really thought much of him - he was just there, he was dating someone, I was dating…

Yes. This sounds AWESOME. TIMES a MILLION.
