2006 was a very challenging year for me.  I found myself overcoming many obstacles, and dealing with more stress than I’ve ever experienced in my adult life. But, 2006 also brought many positive things, too!  I now have an extremely rewarding job doing what I love the most, a beautiful home that I am in [...]

I’ve decided it’s time to dunk my baby toe into the dating pool again. I’m going to do things a bit differently this time, and by doing so, I’m striving for different results. First of all, my hope is to date casually for a while.  Is there such a thing as ‘monogamously casual’?  If so, that’s [...]

I’m in a FAN-TAS-TIC mood!  YAY!! I haven’t been this giddy in a long time.  I’m feeling F.I.N.E., folks! And, no, there’s no drugs involved.  It’s just a great day.  It’s about time people looked at me and said “I’ll have what she’s having!” Here’s hoping you all are having a fantastic day, too.  If [...]

The day before Christmas. This action [...]

Hi guys!  I hope you had a very, very special Christmas… I certainly did. This Christmas, I learned a very valuable lesson.  Love thyself, and those around you will love you even more. I’ve had such an amazing season so far, and as I was suddenly single not long beforehand, it’s been a holiday of contrasts.  [...]

That was so much fun last night!  Thanks to everyone who made it by!  I’m off to a Christmas dinner tonight, and then after, night out with with some cool chicks I met last weekend!  Should be a blast… Just as soon as I have another several cups of java! Holy, am I tired.  That [...]

Damned head cold!  I’m suffering today… But, not to worry, tomorrow I’m going to load up on Dayquil and fly through the day, just in time for the “Tanya’s Crazy Christmas Shindig” tomorrow night!  Woohoo! Here’s something terribly funny to share with you all: What’s everyone looking forward to, this weekend!?  Me?  An extremely fun [...]
