Getting off all medication!

Tonight I took 2 2o mg tablets of Geodon. I have been only on 60 mg of Geodon for the past week. I will take 40 mg of Geodon until Jan 10, then I'll switch to 20 mg until Jan 20 and then I'll go completely off it. I think this is possible because I don't drink any caffeine (no coffee for 28 days and no soda for at least 20 days!). I sometimes occasionally drink Snapple Iced Tea but tea caffeine is better, more antioxidants.

I will cancel my Dr Sherman appt and be doctor-free and medicine-free for the first time since November 2007!

I stopped taking the Zoloft medication in late 2009 and I only needed the Geodon to go to sleep. But now that I have no job, tax season is not until mid-February and I can sleep longer hours because I have no caffeine in my system I don't need Geodon to go to sleep! I hope this 40 mgs is enough! Patrick moved to Chicago, no Brandon or even innocuous clueless Davey is out of the picture. So no guys to get paranoid over. Perfect time to end this medication addiction.

Wish me luck!

My Pumpkin Bread

This pumpkin bread came out quite delicious. Better than Starbucks and cheaper too! Still have one more can of pumpkin left so I can make it again! Yummy

Kitchen Aid Electric Mixer, Naming her Carmen (get it Electra, Electric Mixer)

My new baby, the Kitchenaid Electric Mixer. I paid $275 for it in July when I was employed. And I'm going to use it today for the first time to make ultimate pumpkin bread.

Xmas update

I will try to post weekly if not more updates on my blog. Still at my parents. Have been here since Christmas Eve!

I am making my old recipes from Jan 2010. I will try cooking more because it saves on money and I'm tired of the food in my neighborhood.

I'm going to make spicy cajun chicken fettuccine (from Pioneer Woman's website. www.thepioneerwoman.com) on Thursday. I have to eat the avocados before they go bad!

I've been making a chicken avocado salad with grilled chicken, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red leaf lettuce and diced eggs! Very tasty! I need to buy jalapenos. I found them to be really good and they were at the Morgan Le Faye cafetaria salad bar.

My dad bought me a winter coat. It's Larry Levine cream colored (I still want the white DKNY or the white Calvin Klein coat) long down coat. I prolly won't wear it often as I don't want to get it dirty. I'll be spending a fortune on dry cleaning bills as my mom predicts. They also got me some thermal underwear and a rice cooker.

Still need to buy a blender, food processor, cheese grater, and rolling pin. What irks me is that I bought a cheese grater and rolling pin back in 2010.. Not sure where they are!

So headed back home tmrw around 4:30PM. I might take a spin class tmrw morning. It's an hour spin because in Long Island they spin for an hour (LOL).

I just love Robert Pennino's Terrier Tri cycling classes! I think that makes up for the $178 Equinox membership fee. He's my favorite spin instructor of all time. Gregg Cook of the Terracycle classes is a close second favorite spin instructor. He teaches three classes M to Thur and two classes on Fri. Gonna try his Whipped Classes next month to prep for BBC classes in March. Also will take Leandro Calvallo (sp?) Brazilian Butt/Tummy Tuck/Body Sculpt classes. And Kristi Molinaro's 30/60/90 classes.

Also will save money for a Polar FT60 heart-rate monitor watch! $130. I will get that in March to train for the Brooklyn Half-Marathon!

It looks like there might be showers on NYE, so will skip the outdoor 4 miler. My first race will be the Coogan's 5K. Will try to do it in 8:30 min miles!

I am beginning to like to run again. Need to train up to 6 miles (one full Central Park loop).

Wonder if I'll ever hear from Brandon R again. I do know what he's up to on any given day given his constant twitter updates. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, LOL

I went to the Jets-Giants game on Christmas Eve with Augusto. That's the last time he goes to a winter game with me. He abandoned me after the third quarter. Not a true fan! Giants won! I was ecstatic! Giants are my number 1 team of all time. Followed closely by Real Madrid, Mets, Yankees, then Jets. I doubt they will win the Super Bowl with Mark Sanchez. I see Vick, Romo and Flacco winning Super Bowl Rings before Sanchez. there was a funny heckler who kept calling him Mark Sandwich. very funny guy!

Too bad I am not making enough money from my tax business to go to the Cowboys-Giants NFC East title game! One way is to get one ticket and use my dentist money and just not finish my post and crown. LOL Nah!

BBC! Updates

So the weekly updates have come to a halt. So sorry for those even bothering to read this. I am still doing my own tax business and working out like a fiend.

I am projected to be fine without full-time or even part-time work until September of 2012. So I will look for full-time or part-time work in April after this coming tax season!

I have lost 4-5 lbs. I am currently hovering near 103. Once I weighed 102.4... I want to weigh 95 lbs because I weighed 95 lbs back in 2001 when I was 24 and had a super-crush on Joe, this really hot trainer at NYSC. I googled him and he is still there now as a fitness services manager. His FB pic is with him and this woman, not sure if that's his wife, fiance, girlfriend. I did ask to be his contact on LinkedIn but he has only 4 connections so I doubt he uses it much. He's still hot! Thought he wanted to be an actor. Oh well.

My new craze is Barry's Boot Camp! I ordered a 5-pack for $110. $22 a session instead of $32. I will take some fitness classes at Equinox to prep myself up for the BBC.

I will prolly take it with Joey Gonzalez, COO of BBC. I was contemplating taking Noah's classes but he's not an expert trainer like Joey. Plus he's Jewish! LOL I doubt I will be dating Noah anyways. He did accept my friend request unlike Joey. All of them don't hold a candle to Joe. He inspired me to run the marathon... I am even contemplating tracking down which NYSC he belongs to and re-joining NYSC. Nah. I like not being in any relationship of any kind. As Rachel Weisz character said in Definitely Maybe, "I don't need a guy!" Just his sperm. LOL

I will cut out my hair coloring and manicure expense if I like BBC.

OK nothing else new with me. Nothing to do today or tonight. I spun with RP of Terrier Tri at 85th and Third (four spin classes each day this week in a row!). Will attempt to run 3.4 miles tmrw.

He gave out free Terrier Tri coffee mugs! Not sure why the 85th Street Equinox members are so special. I went to the 63rd St Terrier Tri on Wednesday morning and he didn't give anything out to them!

Update

So sorry I haven't posted sooner. Not much to report. Went on an interview on Tuesday and got rejected. Didn't really want the job as it requires lots of overtime all year long. I just want to work 40-50 hrs, not 60-65 hours. No Saturdays for me!

Anyways Brandon has been busy and I haven't heard from him since Halloween. Not that I want or crave sex anymore. Also he's too young for me and Jewish for me anyways. Just have to keep reminding myself.

I came to the Starbucks to see if I can download iTunes but it is not working so I will wait to next Wednesday when I go home to my parents and can leave it on all day long to load up.

I have been going to the gym a lot these days. Planet Fitness is open 24 hours from Monday to Friday. I still have insomnia so I've been going to Duane Reade and buying stuff. Not good for my wallet.

There is this one audit project that I'm not doing so well and I may have to turn down if I don't get the workpapers to see what the previous auditor did. But that's potentially $820 (two audit projects) and I can sure use the money this holiday season.

I have been attending a lot of spin classes and yoga and Pilates classes at Equinox. Finally making the most of my $178 membership fee. I even ran 1.5 miles yesterday but I think I will lay off the gym for the next few days as it hurts to walk down stairs. I still prefer Robert Pennino's spin classes the most. Followed by Damien and Constance. I don't like Jeff Martin who sings along to the songs and Jason who talks about the news and politics. Don't need to hear that.

I am going to catch the Q101 bus to go home and then go to the soccer game at Mr Dennehy's Real Madrid versus Valencia. #1 vs #3. Should be a good match.

Then tonight I am going to go see an opera, Rodelinda. It is from 8 to 11:50. Tomorrow I might do a spin class if I am not sore or skip it. Church depending on whether or not I take that class and then going to knit a scarf if it kills me. The blue one for my mom. And then a white one for Augusto. Need to go to Staples to photocopy the pattern so I can bring it along with me.

I figured my budget out and since Steve owes me some money and I'm getting unemployment I think I can survive to Sept 2013 doing my own tax business. Not so bad.

So a week and a half has passed by and I have not seen or heard from Brandon. I didn't like the sex and he wasn't asking me out on any dates. He is 26 and Jewish. Need to move on. Gonna die with a dog and maybe my own child if I can afford one.

Irony

How ironic. Brandon's at Gilette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts for the Giants-Patriots game. I was contemplating going too but I have a tax seminar in Manhattan Monday morning so I decided against it.

He's funny. Not sure which team he's rooting for since he went to college in Boston.

I have 3.5 full-day seminars for the CPE. Monday Nov 7, Wed Nov 16, Fri Nov 18, and Mon Nov 21.

I wonder if I'll see him this week. Ultra-bored.

One of my clients paid me 300/1200 owed, so 900 is still owed.

Two nights in a row

OK, yesterday I met my bro in Flushing for some pho for lunch. I wasn't that hungry and didn't eat that much. Steve said he would accompany me tight- and yarn-shopping if I paid for his cigarettes and dinner.

Then Brandon IM'ed me around 3pm asking me to meet him for more sex. I told him later.

I got some white yarn at Knitty City and then a McRib meal with an extra McRib sandwich for

$1, not bad!

Then I headed home with my bro to watch Game 7. Brandon contacted me while I was on the N train and asked to meet.

So I took a cab from Astoria to his place on East 50th and Second Ave. $17.25 with tip for those wondering. We had some sex and then I jerked him off. It still hurt. Anyways, he said he'll be gone for who knows what so two nights in a row followed by a 3-4 week absence. who knows where it comes with him? And my feeling that there might be more is dwindling. oh well, a fuck buddy is good enough, right?

I went to a costume kickball party.. where they play drinking ping pong games and card games. Remind me not to go to another kickball party. Chiemi brought surgical scrubs as a costume for me.

It finally happened!

OK, Brandon and I had sex tonight. And boy it did hurt! I am not sure how big he is but he must be at least 8 inches....... I guess Patrick was not that big because I don't recall the sex with Patrick as hurting.

And the funny thing abt that was he went with my suggestion on the position.

But he did realize I did not enjoy it. I don't think I'll go on yahoo anymore. if he calls me I'll meet him again but I'm not going on Yahoo to solicit it.

The cool thing is that I got home in time for Big Bang Theory. I am on Season One, Disc Two for Big Bang Theory. I am done with Season Two of Gossip Girl.

Rangers-Cardinals game tonight. Game 6. I hope the Rangers can beat the Cardinals before it goes to game 7 in St Louis.

And he reappears!

So Brandon IM'ed me on Monday night. Said he was in Canada which I already knew from his twitter postings.

Said he was busy.

Not sure if I'll see him this week. Not entirely sure of how I feel towards him. I do like him but I'm just bored. LOL

Really last update on Brandon

And I only sent him one IM on yahoo last week. Not so bad! I really could care less. I really didn't think we would have sex anyways. He always chickens out. And he is not that good looking, not as good looking as he was three years ago. So I'm not bummed out or anything.

OK, this is really the last update on Brandon.

:)

Last Brandon update

It's been two weeks since Brandon last contacted me so I think it's over. I guess I wasn't really thinking we would have sex anyways. And he prolly wouldn't go away after that. LOL

Last Brandon update.

I signed off on someone's income so I got $200. Plus I need to get paid for that $1200 client and the $500 client. Plus $410. Not so bad! I will be able to survive til October. That $410 client said he has two more projects. Maybe I can get that too.

I think I can survive to February and tax season which should be good until October. And if I get $820 in audit clients per month, then I can do year-round on my tax business.

Possible Audit project :)

Waiting to hear word back if I got an audit project. It's for 2 years. And I quoted $870 which I'll get $790 after Elance fees.

That would be nice to get a nice-summed project one day into my unemployment/self-employment.

I picked up my CPE credit manual and my shoes and gym stuff from the office. Said bye to Joel Weinstein.

I am embarking on a new career. My own tax business will let me survive on my own! Mark my words. I will survive!

This week no plans except to finish the three audit projects I have and get paid. I will do the CPE credits next week.

I might go to Ippudo tonight to celebrate my project. Get some ramen with extra noodle.

I am going on Wednesday night to Fulton with Josh. Then Sat night going to Rosa Mexicano with Josh, Augusto and possibly 2 other meetup members.

I hope I get to finally see Brandon, he's been MIA from twitter at night and from yahoo IM. Maybe it's over. however brief that was.

No more full-time job

Lost my job today and I don't qualify for unemployment. Oh well. Life sucks!

I do qualify for COBRA, so that's not bad.

Now I get to meet Brandon whenever he so desires. I have not heard from him since Tuesday though. Maybe I lost him for good. I doubt it.

I am rooting for the Brewers and Rangers. Ultimately for the Rangers! Go Josh Hamilton!

I can survive on my own so long as I earn $500 a month until tax season where I'll earn more money. And Steve will have to pay me back the $1400 he owes.

3eb lyrics

Searching for something I could never give you

There's someone who understands you more than I do

A sadness I can't erase, all alone on your face

Love these lyrics to God of Wine, my favorite 3eb song.

So Brandon told me on Tuesday night to come over at 5PM on Wednesday but I didn't see him online so I just met up with Augusto for some sushi dinner.

I had a lychee martini and am getting over being buzzed.

I knew Brandon would chicken out. I think I will eventually meet him for sex but it's never going to be easy.

My housekeeper came over and my apt is super-clean. Now just have to maintain that level of cleanliness.

Augusto says Chappaqua is full of rich wealthy people. Maybe Brandon's gym usage is being subsidized by his parents. I think he spends close to $300 on gym and spin classes. Isn't that crazy?

Brandon tried to persuade me to leave work at 3pm to meet up for sex. I even asked my boss to leave but I forgot the post office is closed today. FAIL.

I thought I lost him. he may be traveling this week. he hasn't been in Toronto lately.

I'm bored. I may do flywheelsports. it's $30 per ride. I'll do the 7AM Monday class with John. He does the 7:30PM class ... not gonna take the same class, that would be hilarious.

OK I'm bored. heading to sleep. just wanted to put a quick Brandon update.

Lobster dinner

Just got back from dinner with Augusto at Nino's. Living Social coupon for a lobster dinner with bottle of white wine. Wine was good. Lobster was tasty.

Brandon hasn't contacted me since Wednesday. Maybe it's over. I'm bored. He's in Chappaqua visiting his parents. He visits them often.

I'm getting my hair highlighted tomorrow. then doing some work. I have an audit, 990-EZ that I'm dreading doing, and a personal tax return. Will make $1800 dollars more. Raking it in at this point.

Watching the Phillies lose to the Cardinals. If they don't make it to the next round I doubt I will watch any more baseball.

OK no Brandon update. He went to work today. So exciting. Still tweeting famous hot women on twitter with no responses. LOL, he's truly pathetic. But me checking his updates might make me even more pathetic.

Yankees game in October

I just got home from dinner with Chiemi at Cafetasia. We had a $30 Living Social coupon.

Now watching Yankees game, Brandon is there with some friends. how come everyone he goes with and says in his tweet that he's going with tweets they're going with someone else. it's kinda funny and sad at the same time.

Brandon's so far bad luck for the Yankees. I won't be too majorly bummed if the Yankees don't make it to the World Series. I do want the Phillies to make it to the WS more.

I have a lobster dinner with Augusto tomorrow. I wonder if Brandon will ask me out tomorrow. I'm just bored to be honest, not really horny or anything.

Loaded bases, 3-1 Tigers in jeopardy. I hope Brandon's still at the game. He may be good luck after all.

Wednesday Update on Brandon

So Brandon does have all-access. He's at the Equinox in Boston. He went to Boston last night. I think he went to Boston for a haircut. Not confirmed yet, but it's seeming like it. He didn't check into any media company today. But maybe he'll stay there for the weekend and leave me the hell alone. he really annoyed me this past weekend insisting on meeting him when I was busy.

I did get my bloodwork done so I can get tested for hepatitis and HIV. Hoping Davey didn't give me any std. I did get checked for gonorrhea and chlamydia in February so he didn't give me those diseases.

I was so tired yesterday morning that I texted my boss to say I was sick and slept til 1PM. I was so tired. then I went to the doctor and got some coffee. yumm. now that the weather is getting cold and crisp I've been craving hot coffee.

went back to work today. kinda busy. Paddy is staring at me now. Not sure why.

as each day goes by and I learn more about Brandon, he gets more and more nutso. But he was funny in his tweet last night. He was saying if you put the kit kats on bagels then you're a full-blown fatty. that was hilarious. who puts kit kats on bagels? so funny. that def made me smile for the morning.

Wonder if Brandon lost his beard. I swear I can get him to date me. Something in me just says he will try. but then again I may be wrong. he is a bit nutso!

Wonder when he'll be back.

Paddy is staring at me again. Not sure what he wants.

Phillies losing to the Cardinals. They better make it to the World Series. they have Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee and Roy Halliday. they need to win a World Series ring.

Hoping the Phillies beat the Yankees in six games in the World Series.

Giants-Sea Hawks game at 1PM on Sunday. Going to watch that game for sure! Jets-Patriots game at 4:15pm on Sunday, the Jets are going to be 2-3 and not make the playoffs this year. Now rooting for the Giants now!

Paddy finally stopped staring at me.

Monday night doldrums

OK I am just posting what is happening. Brandon went to Boston for work Wednesday night and tweet-asked his friends in Boston if he should stay the weekend there. then his friend said some nyc guys were in town. So I thought he'd stay the weekend and leave me the hell alone. No he comes back on Friday and IM's me Friday night. Then he contacts me on Saturday night asking for a threesome. And the most annoying come over fuck me IMs on Sunday. Couldn't meet him this weekend. And tonight when I could, he is nowhere to be found.

But I found out why he is MIA on Mondays. He has some flywheel class on Monday nights. some type of studio cycling class.

Anyways, I'm going to get tested tomorrow since Brandon is paranoid that I am carrying some unknown std. I was clean before Davey and unless Davey has some unknown std, I am sure I am fine. Wondering why I need to do this since we'll be using condoms. Strange guy. But he's hot and I got over his tweet stuff.

So he likes to share. Let's give him his twitter foursquare forecast tweets.

I am rooting for Tampa! GO TAMPA! Also might be rooting for the Yankees til the World Series.

But I really think Brandon came back from Boston because his company didn't comp his room for the weekend. I can't think it was because of me. I really hope not. that would be very sad.

At least I'll be having sex with Brandon. the jerking off stuff got tiring and old after the second time. At least I know he wants to have sex with me. I was beginning to get worried abt my looks and genuine sex appeal.

The weather got cold so I wore jeans to work. I think I'll wear jeans to work every day this fall and winter.

I do like Brandon but I have a feeling he's obsessed with me. that's just a feeling I have. not confirmed. who knows with him?

He's a Steelers fan. So was Davey. But Davey grew up in Pittsburgh. Why is Brandon a Steelers fan? Strange guy. Doesn't like the Mets or Jets. He's into the Yankees. and he tweeted abt the Giants.

OK it's official. As of 8:25pm Sept 28 I am no longer interested in Brandon R. He is so sad and pathetic. He just asked a Playboy model out on a date saying he was halfway decent looking and semi successful. that's just sad. then he says he needs a girlfriend. all on twitter using his real name and it's a public profile.

I had to send him some tweets from a new acct because I thought someone should tell him to can the pathetic tweets.

OK I will continue meeting him to hook up with. But if he asks me to date him, I will turn him down. He is so sad. It's pathetic. Any points he gets from being goodlooking and having a semi-large nether region is being discounted with his ever-present checking into foursquare and his sad tweets. just so sad. I think he will never get a date in his life. I think I know why now. Every girl he's asked out prolly saw his tweeter feed and was like um no thanks. LOL

I was really falling for him until tonight's pathetic tweets.

I might not even continue hooking up with him. I have my standards!

Yankees

Brandon likes the Yankees and Dave Matthews Band. He saves all the ticket stubs and puts them in his desk glasstop case. Very interesting.

Not sure if he follows football. Small things I'm getting from him.

He also has a very neat apt. Nice apt building, they painted the walls of his staircase hallway.

I do believe I can get him involved with me. He's just too easy to manipulate. too easy

nevermind he is tall, lol

Strike that. Just saw Brandon's updated photo on facebook and he is indeed tall. 6 or 6'1 looking. he looks very tall in that pic. not posting it here tho as that's too dangerous.

shorter looking today, LOL

Hmmm, third time I met Brandon in 6 days. Still the same old thing. I told him next time he has to mix it up. I don't think he's 6 feet tall either, he looks 5'11 or 5'10. Didn't look that tall today, LOL

I am falling for him tho. More feelings for him than I ever felt for Davey.

He's still hot though. Just didn't look that tall today. LOL

And I missed him yesterday but I knew he would contact me sooner rather than later.

I'm happy and in love though. I get happy when he sends me an instant message on yahoo.

Brandon update

I had to buzz Brandon this morning at 11:03AM. But he did indeed let me up. Brandon's still hot. Just jerked him off but he did give me a compliment on my nether regions. I have a feeling the next time we'll be having sex. Maybe that will be Monday during the day when my boss is gone on vacation. We shall see.

I am happy and can't wait, Brandon's big! :)

Yesterday and tomorrow

Brandon IM'ed me at 1:41pm. I wasn't around. He returned at around 4:25pm and we chatted. He already wants to meet up again. I think I created a monster. So I'll be meeting him tomorrow at 11AM. We shall see where this goes. I thought he would wait a week or so.

Did I mention that Brandon is hot! He is smokin' hot! God must have pitied me on my last three guys that I slept with. Adam, Brian and Davey were all ugly. Adam was alright but short. but the rest were like 5-6. Brandon's a 9! I think I'm an 8. So he's hotter than me.

He still doesn't want sex, even tho he mentioned anal sex and the fact that he's never had it. He prolly had sex with 2 girls. I don't know why he can't get more girls, he's really cute. Maybe girls are twitter friends of him and are turned off by the fact he posts where he is every waking moment. I'm not mentioning it to him. But that's a turnoff.

But I am happier with Brandon being a fuck buddy than Davey in the year and 3 months I was dating him. God and the fact that Davey is keeping my digital camera is just wrong. I hope he gets what he deserves.

Brandon is so much hotter and has a bigger penis than Davey. Brandon's definitely an upgrade over Davey. The only three things against him is the fact he's Jewish, he's 8-9 years younger than me, and he updates his whereabouts on twitter every couple hours.

The last thing he might be doing for work even though he updates it on weekends too and at night. So it makes me think he just likes to share?

OK, until the next Brandon update :)

I met up with Brandon tonight after work. Got there around 5:20pm. Jerked him off and went on my way. He's very cute! Had my period today so it worked out perfectly.

If I can bet anything is I'll hear from him in a week or so. I think he'll make an excellent fuck buddy. And I think I can get it into more.

He called me at 10:30pm on Tuesday night. I was on my way home from the Yankee game. but I didn't think he would call me.

He's like 6 feet tall, muscular build, scruffy goatee like beard going on. Very cute. I would say he's as cute as John Fitzgerald. And John was hot! He's just Jewish.

I'm in love!

On another note, my blog has been compromised. Davey must have found it, I don't know how but he did. I don't think I bad-mouthed him on this. I just didn't see him that much during our duration (don't even think I wanna call it a relationship).

Anyways, I've moved on to Brandon.

He has a lot of Dave Matthews Band concert posters. I didn't wanna mention the fact that he just saw them last weekend. His apartment is very neat. Puts my apt to shame. I need to get my housekeeper to come by next weekend. He has a nice one-bedroom, enough room for me and Paddy to move into. LOLOL

I AM IN LOVE WITH HIM. HAPPY :)

chubby

So I went to traffic court and they found me guilty and I had to pay a $130 fine but no license suspension. What a relief!

Brandon finally left town. After spending Fri Sat and Sun at Dave Matthews Band Caravan.

He's in Toronto for work. I wonder if he'll contact me when he gets back after this week.

He changed his profile pic on Facebook and looks a bit chubby. LOL

Back to work tmrw. Time to work hard and do well!

Yankees Snoopy Day tmrw. dentist appt on Wed. being poor for the rest of the week as I'm paying my mom back and then the ticket fine!

I have a feeling I'll be seeing Brandon next week. Here's to hoping he's not fat!

I have a feeling I can get him into a relationship.. LOL

Job woes

Just got some bad news at the office, still on probation. Now I have to get my journal entries approved by my boss. Hope this passes and I get a raise in December. Hoping for the best!

So Brandon has been updating his foursquare to show he's in NYC, working and checking into several restaurants/bars. So wondering why he told me he was out of town. Strange. Not sure if I'll be meeting him next week.

Anyways not that interested to care that much. He is 26 years old by the way.

Tomorrow I have Swan Lake NYC Ballet and then I'll go to my parents on Sunday to visit my dad who had neck surgery. Hoping he's okay and makes a full recovery.

Monday I have a court date with the city due to a traffic ticket I got in March. Hope the cop doesn't show up and they dismiss my case.

Tuesday night I have a Yankees game, Snoopy doll day. Wednesday I have a dentist appointment. That's it for this coming week.

I made $439 in two projects yesterday and I might be paid $2400 next week.

OK, trying to concentrate more at work and do a better job.

Not so bad, 4 days since my last post.

Brandon IM'ed me tonight, called me twice and asked me to come over. when I finally agreed, he hung up on me and said his parents were coming over. oh well. He said his number is changing so he'll send me his new number later.

I'm in love tho! Haven't met the boy yet even. LOL

I was supposed to go to the Mets-Cubs game tonight but wasn't feeling well last night. My nose is not stuffed now anymore but I am still sneezing and have somewhat watery eyes. I went yesterday afternoon and they lost 5-4.

Dentist appt on Wed. DBD concert on a boat on Thursday. Brandon shd be back in a week or so so that will be nice.

Jets losing 0-7 in the first quarter.

Brandon, boy toy

Hmmm ten days darnit I'm supposed to blog more not less! Anyways, it's after Labor Day so summer is over.

My doggie walker who charged $10 a walk for 15 minutes moved away to do an internship in Brewster, NY so I had to hire a more expensive dog walker. Paddy. Paddy is walking Paddy. LOL

So back in 2008-2009 I was communicating with this 23 year old named Brandon Rosen**blatt. He was very hot. but young. I was 31. 8 years older. And we made times to meet up but he would always back out, chickening at the last minute. Anyways, I moved out of the neighborhood July 2009 and didn't log into Yahoo messenger until abt 5-6 weeks ago where I saw Brandon online. He IM'ed me and asked me if I wanted to meet up. I gave him my phone number but then told him I got my period so I couldn't meet up. Now he's 26. Older? Wiser? more mature and will meet up now??? We shall see.

2 and a half weeks passed by and then he called me. So he wanted me to come to Manhattan Sunday night of Irene. He would pay for the cab both ways. I declined. Then I found his twitter ID and the fact that he checks in everywhere on foursquare. So I knew he went out of town last week. So I was going to text him tonight. But then he called me at 4:51pm yesterday. He said he was in Canada. And coming back 11PM on Thursday. I said I can only do Thursday late night if he let me sleep over. I doubt that's happening and he's busy this weekend for a wedding in the Nantucket area. And next week is no good. Oh well. I have a good feeling I can turn this at the least to a regular f buddy type thing. Or maybe something more like a relationship. Not sure if I want to marry a Jewish guy tho. I do wanna have Catholic kids. But that's jumping way ahead!

Hope he's matured since he was 23 and will have the guts to meet up!

He's not as hot as he was when he was 23. He's pretty cute though still. and he looks like he's 6' which is good and he has hair! YAY! He's tall, muscular thin build and dark hair. He's totally my type.

Anyways, he said this would be a one-time thing but I know better! LOL

Paddy's in my bed sleeping!

I had my third dentist visit and two more to go along with a visit to remove my wisdom tooth.

Dinner with Augusto on Friday, lobster groupon.

Mets game with brother and Paddy Bark in the Park on Sat at 1PM

Mets game with Augusto 9/11 tribute on Sunday at 7:30PM

DBD boat cruise on Thursday 9/15

Hmm another 8 days. So Hurricane Irene became Tropical Storm Irene and the MTA was shut down for no apparent reason. Will try to get into work tmrw by Q101.

Brandon this guy I met three years ago online has resurfaced. He always chickened out before meeting me. Not sure if he'll chicken out again. He's very hot though. The Giants-Jets game is tmrw which I forgot abt so I will prolly watch that instead of meeting him. But maybe on Tuesday or Wednesday. He's 26 years old. Very young. I met him when he was 23. 8 year age difference. I have a feeling I can prolly manipulate him into dating me. LOL he's just very impressionable.

Davey finally got the hint and left me alone. Hallelujah!

Tmrw I have a dentist appt at 6PM so I can't meet him anyways. Maybe afterwards! LOL

Helping Chiemi tmrw if I dont get into work on time.

Friday I am meeting Josh for a steak dinner at Osso Bocu. Labor Day Monday at the US Open day session.

I have time on Tues/Wed/Thurs for the Brandon meeting. I do like his name though!

will try to post more

hmmm eight days since last update. argh!!!!!!!!

I skipped the deadbeat darling concert last night and no photo shoot even though it didn't rain!

Tonight I am having dinner at Oliva with Augusto. Then maybe watching the Jets-Giants preseason football match.

I got a manicure pedicure already so no plans tomorrow. I might make jalapeno poppers tomorrow!

Tuesday I have a blackjack class. Wednesday meeting Josh at Osso Buco for a steak Living Social deal. Thursday seeing Dr Sherman after almost 2.5 months of going without. Then Augusto's birthday dinner at the Williams Club on Friday evening.

Chiemi has to crash at my apt before moving to a good deal sublet for 2 months in LIC. That's closeby to me! I have to check out her apt. But I'll be gone at my parents from Sept 2 to Sept 5! WOO-HOO US Open tix on Monday Labor Day Sept 5!

long time since last post, trying to post more!

It's been 11 days since my last post. I sometimes remind myself I need to post an update but then I never get around to it.

So I have not reconciled with Davey.. He sent me a pic of a coffee cup and red velvet cupcake, weird! I might take Kate's advice and send a pic of a plate of buffalo wings and a bottle of gin saying bottoms up! I will do that this weekend at the bar from watching the Giants-Panthers game tomorrow.

OK my dog is cuddled up beside me, how cute. He missed me all day.

I just got back from an all-Beethoven program at a Mostly Mozart Festival, lol.

Tmrw I have a brunch meetup at Cookshop then a 4:10PM Yankees-Rays game. maybe catching the Giants-Panthers game at Brother Jimmy's. Sunday I have a pug meetup in the morning then a 3PM Knitting workshop at Lion Brand Studio.

Monday I'm watching the Jets-Houston Texan game at a bar in Manhattan, TBD.

Then a dentist appt on Thursday. My new old housekeeper from Washington Heights is cleaning my apt at 5:30PM on Friday. Then Deadbeat Darling concert at 11PM. Photo shoot with Paddy in Central Park but there's a threat of thunderstorms that day so I might reschedule to next Sat August 27.

I got a root canal done and I now need five more visits to the dentist to get the post and crown done.

Mets losing. Wright sucks. Bay on fire.

Mittens knitting Part 2 on Sunday August 21. I need to get a rain date Mets voucher by the end of this year. It leaves me August 20 to maybe do a Mets game. What kind of seats should I buy? Should I just get a single ticket? So many questions, so little answers.

Took my medicine at 11PM, won't be sleepy til 1AM.

end of Davey, yay!

Just called it quits with Davey. In June or so he asks me to define the relationship as we're not bf-gf. news to me! Anyways that relationship was not going anywhere. I only saw him once every 3-5 months, that's just not acceptable. I am going to give up dating guys and just focus on my career and earning enough money to raise a kid on my own. Just one kid preferably a boy. Sperm donor: white male with dark hair who's intelligent and not ugly (no big nose, no glasses, brown eyes, don't want a freak half-Asian kid with blue or green eyes).

By December, I shd be making 60K. And then wait another year to December 2012 to get to 70K, and then in December 2013 get to 80K. that's not bad. I can afford a baby with 80K. I'll be 37 in May of 2014 and making 80K. That's enough for diapers and I'll be sending my kid to public school. LOL maybe Stuyvesant! and save up in a college fund for Cornell's state school, that's not a bad plan!

I'll name my son Jason after Jason Bay! LOL

If it's a girl I'll name her Isabella and nickname her Ella.

That's my current plan and I no longer plan on dating guys or having sex. I don't miss it and I have no sex drive ever since being put on Geodon.

PJS gets a blog

Hmmm, just discovered my nemesis who will remain nameless because I don't want to get him started again, has started a blog page. What will he write?

Anyways, I am not taking down my blog about him.

Looks like he convinced one clueless girl to date him. I wonder if he beats her too! Some girls are so desperate! I wonder if she can use the Internet. Well she was fairly warned. Only a complete idiot would date him. Someone with low self-esteem. He is a pathologically compulsive violent guy. Hope he doesn't put her in the hospital like he did with me and another one of his true gf's. He was never my bf. I would never be treated like that by a bf, that would just be low self-esteem.

What's strange is that the pic of the two of them is so low-quality, it makes me wonder if that's really his gf.... can't he take a better picture? LOL

Oh well not going to waste my time with his like. I just hope he doesn't refute that nights' events. He is a violent guy with psychotic tendencies. He shouldn't be allowed to date. Can't believe he convinced a girl to date him. She must have a lower IQ than he has.

Well I hope this relationship doesn't end in an arrest. LOL

Week of July 25

My boss was away from July 18 to July 25. He was back today! And now I'm busy again! LOL It was nice having a vacation from him as he puts it! LOL

I went into work today at 5:30AM. Took the 5:05AM Q101 bus to work. Then I washed my hair and got a yogurt parfait and venti mocha frappaccino (got my 15 stars and free drink from Starbucks). Then it was 6:25AM when I got to work. And I finished up all my work yesterday so I had nothing to do but clean up my desk and label my file folders! Boy I had a lot of down time before my boss got in at 9:20AM!

But then it got busy. I left promptly at 5:30PM and left my iPhone at work so I had to go back and the N/Q trains to Astoria were delayed so I didn't get home til 6:30PM.

Now I'm struggling to stay away til at least 9:30PM so I don't get up at 3:30AM. Went to bed at 8:30PM yesterday.

Can't find my Blockbuster DVD. Will reorder it from them. I keep reporting stuff missing. I wonder when they'll discontinue my service.

Today is a chill week. Tomorrow I wanna go to Knitting Doctor and get some help casting on. Also wanna go to mass tmrw morn to make up for missing Sunday mass. Thursday I wanna hit a yoga class in the morning and then get dinner at Sprig with Josh. Dentist at 6:30PM on Friday then going to get some pho from Pho Bang in Flushing afterwards. Sat 12PM I have a photo shoot planned with Paddy at Central Park. that should be fun. Sun I will go to church in the morning and then I have a Knitting 2 class at Lion Brand Studio.

Next Monday will go to my friend's sample sale at Decode 1.8. $35 dresses. Tuesday I have a Mets-Marlins game. No plans to go with anyone as of yet. Then tentative dinner plans with Chiemi later that week at Bento Burger in the East Village so I can give her the Yankees ticket. My bro installed new bookcases and I moved the contents along with the Yankees tickets elsewhere so I have to look for them. Not good.

I will try to add some more photos to my web blogging so it gets more interesting.

I also didn't post last week, will try and remember to post an entry at least once a week.

I will try to cook baked sausage and pork ziti this Friday.

News about my raise!

I got an 8K raise. 19% raise. You do the math! Now I have to wait to December to get another review.

I have so much work to do. I might leave for work at 5AM tomorrow.

Taking a pilates class Saturday morning, then hitting IKEA to look at bookcases. I want to get one with a drawer. Dentist appt to fix 2 cavities on my left side of the mouth. Still have two cavities on the right side of my mouth that will be another visit. Sunday brunch at Goat Town with three other brunch'ers, then Mets-Phillies game! Maybe try to get a manicure after the game.

Need to get some pancetta and some other ingredients to make baked sausage ziti! I need to test my oven to see if it works. I wanna bake a maple pecan tart for the office as an appreciatory gift for my new found raise!

My raise!? in only 6 weeks working!

I'm going to try and post something each week. I am going to bake ziti sometime this week after I get pancetta from Zabar's. This is to test my oven to see if I can bake a maple pecan tart.

So Joel, the general manager at GMC Parking, who is the hiring manager and hired me told me at the start of the job that I will get a review in three months and six months. And the president told me over the phone that if I'm successful I will see a rapid rise in my salary. Joel told me before he went on vacation that when he gets back he'll ask Mr. Chapman about a raise and I don't have to wait three months. He didn't mention anything to me all day so I finally asked him at the end of the day. And he said he has to talk to the president and my boss. So I really hope I get a raise of 5-8K this time. I am not making that much money so I really need it. If I get two 2 8 K I will still not be making what I made in AIG. But the guy I replaced made 90K so I am hoping I get around 65K after a year or 18 months, that will be nice!

Blaise told me last week that I am doing well there and he foresees me doing a good job. That's a vote of confidence! So I am really hoping for a good raise this time around!

I hope it happens fast! the president is leaving for a vacation after Tuesday and my boss is away on Thursday and all of next week.

Got a new job end of May and really busy these days

I've been meaning to update my blog. I saw Davey three weeks ago. He came down to NYC. That went well. I should be seeing him in August in DC.

I got a new job! It's at Chapman Consulting, sister company of GMC Parking. I started on May 31. And it's going well. It's a real estate company that owns a lot of parking garages in Manhattan. Not as big as MPG. But about 60 garages. Not so bad. I am slated for a raise in 1 week so that will be interesting to see how much more they give me given I've worked there for only 4-5 weeks.

I have been super-busy. Jacqi and Jackie have been replaced by Augusto and Josh. I am still friends with Chiemi. I am going to see a foreign Asian film from the Asian Film Festival with Josh on Thursday. That's following a 7PM yoga class. The Sleeping Beauty ballet on Wednesday. I got dress circle seats, so that should be good. Tuesday I am scheduled to take a pilates class unless I have to work late. And on Friday I have a dentist appointment. Saturday I have a Pilates class in the morning followed by a Yankees game then Deadbeat Darling concert at night. Sunday I have to go to church around 12pm followed by a 2pm 3 hr knitting in the round class. Then I will be headed to a dinner at Nick and Toni's followed by a movie Transformers hopefully in IMAX with Augusto.

Busy week!

And then I am getting new bookcases next week after I get paid.

BOGGLES THE MIND!

Some people's updates on Facebook boggle my mind. For instance this police officer in upstate NY and his wife who doesn't work and stays at home with their newborn son, how much can he make? They bought a house and she got a treadmill. I'm thinking he makes like 50k.... anyways, it boggles my mind!

Then this dance instructor said he got 2700 Lasik surgery last year. He's a dance instructor at Bally's, how can he afford that?

BOGGLES THE MIND!

#1 Mets fan

As of the May 7 Mets game against the Dodgers, I switched allegiances to being a Mets fan. I just live closer to Mets' Citi Fields.

Trying to learn the Mets lineup and pitching more!

More to come!

One of my former friends is blogging every week so I think I should do the same.

My weekend was nice. I had brunch with my new brunch group at Goat Town in East Village. I saw DJ again and I hung out with Emmy and Linda and two others for a total of 6 brunchers. Not so bad, even though 12 people signed up.

Osama was killed, which I'm happy about but life goes on.

I'm leaving at 1:45PM for Mr Dennehy's to watch the Real Madrid-Barcelona match. It's at Barcelona so I expect a blowout!

Tomorrow night is a sushi meetup group at Ko Restaurant. Time for celebrating the month of May is it's my birthday month!

Away with the BAD!

So today was a difficult day. I cut out one of my good friends. She just wasn't supportive of my life decisions and she made me say negative things to her out of spite so it was just not healthy.

Anyways, moving on!

Davey's coming to NYC soon. That should be fun. I think I'll take him to the Thai place since that is going to expire soon. I hope he makes it for my birthday.

Everything's going well though, I'm getting a $250 check in the mail. And I have $150 in upcoming project.

I signed up for elance and bid on 4-5 more projects so I hope I get those.

Nothing else is new with me.

I'm meeting my friend Josh for dinner tonight at Bann. It's on me because he got dinner last time.

Tax Season Going on Strong!

The Knicks beat the Orlando Magic in overtime. Thrilling game!

Well Davey says he's coming to NYC to visit. We shall see. He's turned MIA lately.

I have one bookkeeping client tomorrow at 11AM, getting paid by one tax client tomorrow at around 5PM and then getting some receipts from a third client to type up into a spreadsheet for him. Wednesday I have an 8:30AM appt and an 11AM appt. Both tax clients. Thursday I have a 12PM tax client. No appts so far on Friday. One bookkeeping client at 10AM on Sat. A double client (boyfriend, girlfriend) at 4PM on Sunday. And it hasn't reached the midway of the week and I'm booked this week solidly.

I have 4722 in the bank account, but I have a 130 ticket, 1100 rent, 250 rent check outstanding. I wanna have 5-6K after tax season.

Have to get up at 9AM tomorrow. I should make my office hours 12PM to 7PM.

Paddy's being finicky lately. I feed him so much food he should be happy he has a mummy like me.

Update in March, BUSY tax season

Has it been almost two months since I posted an update? Bad me!

So tax season is getting busy. Have at least 5-7 returns left to prepare. Meeting 2 clients per day from tmrw (Thursday) to Saturday then one client on Sunday and one client on Tuesday.

But I am still going out. I am going to dinner and an opera featuring Natalie Dessay! Yup Lucia di Lammermoor. I thought it would be different actors but Dessay will be there! That's my favorite opera of all time, when she goes mad. That's the truth.. Then my grade school friends will be at the R Bar, not sure if I'll go down there after the opera ends at 11:40pm. We shall see!

I emailed Davey abt a 4-day trip to MD on March 17 to March 20. But maybe I'll get clients then and not be able to take the time off. We shall see!

Now been following the Knicks since last Wednesday when they got Carmelo Anthony and Billups. They won tonight, going 3-2 since the trade. I will try to get Knicks tickets in the coming weeks.

On the bus

So I'm on the Greyhound bus, using their Wifi. They don't have outlets though. If I went to DC, they would have outlets and Wifi.

I'm on the way to visit Davey in MD. I kinda bugged out on him again because I didn't hear back from him after he invited me down at 5PM. He responded back at 7:45PM. But all is well now.

I'm not going to ask when he'll move to NYC or why he doesn't come and visit me. I will just ask if he is free Good Friday weekend. That's reasonable, right?

It's sleeting snow and rain in NJ. I think it's still snowing in MD. I wonder what he'll be making for dinner tonight.
