About Me

Thursday, December 8, 2016



Well damn, I can't believe it's been 10 years since I started this blog. That's kind of amazing. And well, a little sad. Damn I feel old. I popped onto the blog just to check out if anyone even reads this old thing - and here I see that my meager 10,000 page views has exploded into over 400,000 page views! That's nuts!

I guess after a year or two of not posting - and over 10 years of intermittent blogging that it's time for an update.

I'm currently 32, still married to my loving, geeky husband of three years now. We have a two year old son, Bruce, who is most definitely a toddler. He's a riot and my little guy. It's ironic that I would have a little son - and appropriate since I'm going to raise him not to be a cockatoo. See, I still got it ;)

As for my life and career path, my writing took a bit of a detour for a while. To be perfectly honest my book became more popular than I even had imagined. It's by no means a best seller but once I started selling copies to people I didn't know around the world I was shocked. I stopped writing for a while for a mix of reasons - being busy, being happy (and less angry which to me was fuel for writing), fearing judgment from friends and one particular scathing review that was written by a former friend. To this day the reason for the review/attack is unknown. Alas, it still sat with me for a while, festering deep down, making me question my writing "style." But let's face it, I'm a blogger, I write what I feel and write in the manner in which I would say it. I'm not a novelist. I'm not writing War and Peace (with Zombies). I'm writing a blog. A blog of my innermost (and sometimes neurotic) thoughts. Well, let's be honest, very often neurotic thoughts.

I guess what I'm trying to say is...I think about 10 years, it's time for me to finish that "sequel" to my first book. Telling you all about my journey from dating to relationship to marriage to motherhood. Some how, some way I will find the time to do it - even if it's bit by bit. And hey, it's only taken like six years - I'm already ahead of J.R.R Martin!

If anyone else does happen upon this blog, thank you very much for visiting. I hope that I will have some fun and exciting news for you soon. And I promise to update more than once a year.

Cheers!

- 1000 Days (well, er, 17 Days)

Wow, it's been forever (and a day) since I updated this blog. So, that being said - it's update time! As of today, I'm 31 years old and very happily married (for two years in October) to a lovable board game geek of my very own. We have a eight month old son, Bruce, whom we welcomed into the world on January 29th, 2015.

I'm still laboring away at the sequel of my first book, 1000 Days of Celibacy, and hopefully will finish it in time to give my son some advice about dating...when he's 25 ;)

That's all I have for now - stay tuned!

Merry Christmas and She's Baaaaaaaaaaaack


When you move to a new city an amazing thing happens. You start to realize that no one knows who you are. You have no reputation, you have no past -- all you have is a clean slate and nothing but a future that is in your hands.

So leave it to me to bring my muddled past into my bright future.

But you know what, it's okay to look back on your past and learn from the mistakes you've made.

And thus the idea for the book 1000 Days of Celibacy: A Race Against the Cockatoo was born.

It is a collection of my best writings, chronicling my dating misadventures and mishaps - combined with some new writings - so personal that I could never post them publicly for fear of ridicule or down right lawsuits.

In the end, this book is dedicated to my Exes, may you consider this your closure...

Copies of my book can be purchased by clicking here - I will be signing the first 100 Copies, so be quick and don't miss out!

Copies will also be available on Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com starting in late January.

Merry Christmas!!

The Countdown Has Begun

So you people might be wondering what this is all about. Well ladies and gentleman, let me tell you a little something about me...

I'm 22. I'm Blonde. I'm Busty. I like to consider myself on the pretty side of average.

Oh and there's that little fact that I've not had sex for almost 1000 days. Well, 958 days to be exact.

So my co-workers put me up to this blog, encouraging me to document my experiences on my quest to achieve 1000 days of celibacy. Maybe I'll make it, Maybe I'll go insane. Who knows, I'm half-way to insanity anyway --- maybe it's time for some man-rape! (Oh yes people, there's more of that to come)

So people, join me! Join me on this both magical and pathetic quest of self-discovery. Join me on the quest for...

1000 Days of Celibacy!
