Tales From Sip And Go Girl: “Jon”

I’m still trying to understand how and why some men have placed more importance on our dates than I have.

Jon is one of those fellas and the main character in this Tale from Sip and Go Girl.

I was shopping in a grocery store on a Sunday afternoon after church. Near the front of the store, a man was signing up people for newspaper subscriptions. He was staring at me. He watched me walk to and he watched me walk fro and then he watched me walk to and fro again. He didn’t look familiar and I couldn’t figure out why he was staring at me.

As I left the store, the guy was outside the doors and he greeted me.

Losing My Identity

22 October 2013 / Sip and Go Girl / Comments Off

I don’t lose things. I don’t leave my cell phone on store counters, I don’t misplace my keys, and I certainly don’t lose my driver license. But now it seemed to have happened.

It was annoying but eventually led to a glorious realization.

Fulltime traditional jobs weren’t coming to fruition, a vandal drizzled chocolate syrup on the windshield of my car, my cat Saffron found a little brown bat on the balcony and brought it into my bed as a plaything. Several rabies shots and mandatory emergency room visits later, I was looking at debt for the first time in my life because also for the first time in my life I lacked health insurance.

I am frugal and stubborn. Close family and friends will immediately and passionately agree.

Fake cheese

I spend two weeks deciding whether to buy socks and I use items until they fall apart. This also means many times in my personal and work-life, I’ve ignored signs for me to end something before it gets worse. But I don’t. Despite every indication from my intuition, I hang on for dear life.

Thus it was incredibly difficult for me to throw away what is arguably the world’s most hideous food item:

Parmesan topping.

Our Lives Contract Before Expanding

2 September 2013 / Sip and Go Girl / Comments Off

In the last year or so I have been up and down and in and out. I think I’m ahead only to turn around and perceive that I’m actually last in whatever race I am running at the moment.

My friend and colleague Liz is a therapist but also quite metaphysical. She has said that this period of my life is one for massive growth and change. Her unspoken comment is that it’s up to me to seize the opportunity to find and make something of the calling that has been following me for years.

She sent me the following article from a self-help and growth website called “Daily OM.”

Sometimes our lives contract before they expand.

I Wish I Was Wrong

12 August 2013 / Sip and Go Girl / 2 comments

At some point in the last three months or so I became acutely aware that all I had been experiencing in the last three years or so (and especially in the last two years) has been happening for some grand cosmic reason.

Oh how I often wish it wasn’t so. But it is.

The knowledge of this is like when you know that the guy or gal you’re dating or married to isn’t right for you but gosh darn it he or she is better than being alone.

You wish you didn’t know it and you wish you were wrong.
