You may have noticed in my Polka Dot Love comment thread…but apparantly I’ve been named the Celebrity Single Mom of the Month. I was so flattered! Anyway – the blog is a great spot to keep up with all of our celebrity counter parts.
For example, I just found out that Angelina is pregnant with twins!!! Is that true? That means there’s a good chance they’ll have a son!! A little Brad Pitt.
My favorite celebrity single mom is Kate Hudson…who’s your favorite celebrity single mom?

Do you know yourself? I can’t say that I truly do … yet. But I’m getting a bit closer – thanks to Tim Chard. A man who commented on a post I wrote months ago, titled “Do I Need Therapy?” At the time I had started pushing Kris away…I was acting bitchy, demanding and closing myself off from him intimately. And I didn’t know why.
I stopped and told myself, “if you do this, you’re nuts. Because there is no reason not to be with him right now. He’s perfect!”
I was chatting with my best friend about it and she suggested therapy as an option. After all, since my divorce (technically one year ago but coming close on two since the separation) I had been dating steadily but after a few weeks – I would drop them like flies. Done and done!

So in my “Do I need therapy?” post I explained my fear of commitment and my fear of losing someone. And then I asked – do therapists make house calls? And then Tim showed up. He started commenting and I felt like he was reading my mind. [click to continue…]

How do you tell the difference? How do you know if it’s love or lust? I think it feels different. In the case of my ex-husband it was all lust. Our whirlwind marriage ended after just two years and those two years were hell! At first, we were completely in lust. Hell, we could barely even understand each other (he is French and his English was rough – to say the least) but we got married anyway (he needed a green card).
A few months after our wedding I realized he only truly understood about 15% of what I was saying. He’d just been nodding his head all along because it was easier than stopping me – a constant chatter box. But, at the time, I was convinced it was the real deal.
Lust is a powerful, powerful feeling…but love is so much better. And when the marriage went downhill all I wanted was a husband who loved me. To hell with lust…it fades fast.
Here’s how I tell the difference… [click to continue…]

On Friday night my manperson volunteered to paint my kitchen table…and here’s the result.
I love it! Never thought I would ever want a polka dot table…am I delusional or is this totally shabby chic?
And what a nice manperson I have! Status on Kris and I: fantastic! I credit it to the fact that we only see each other two nights a week now. And, my new mind frame about the relationship [click to continue…]
