February 14th.

February 13, 2009

My blog is largely about love, dating and life – so it’s expected that I write something about this Saturday. Unfortunately I’m not a big Valentine’s Day fan. Not because it’s a Hallmark holiday and not because I am forced to stare at ugly decorations in the grocery store or hear about who is dating [...]

Mia’s Story Part III

February 12, 2009

Mia just got back from a weekend trip with her friends to New Mexico. She booked the tickets on a whim just weeks after finding out her boyfriend of six years and the father of her daughter would be leaving them for another woman. “I just bought the tickets, just because… I have no idea [...]

When the long lost father resurfaces.

February 11, 2009

No place like home.

February 7, 2009

Okay. I know. I can’t click these heels and be delivered from evil, but… they make me feel like I could. They’re amazing. My dream flats. And they were only $17.99 at Target. This picture doesn’t do them justice, just wanted you to know they’re on sale this week — because they won’t last. And [...]

“No worries.”

February 5, 2009

That’s what the man from the plane told me.  He hadn’t waited too long to call. On Wednesday morning I found a blinking voice mail on my office phone. I never get calls at work (I’m a writer) so I knew it was him.  “Hi, it’s (man yet to be named) from the plane. I [...]

Would you date yourself?

February 4, 2009

This is a really, really good question. One of you posted this comment on my Facebook page and I couldn’t resist bringing it to the table here. Take the children out of the picture.
