The Great Dane

May 20, 2008

He had to knock down my door. Well, not literally, but thanks to a visit from Thomas, my friend from Denmark, this single mom was “forced” to spend five days straight with a man. And imagine, being a single man, visiting a long lost friend from college who now has a two year old. Most [...]

One bitchin’ hang over.

April 7, 2008

Do you ever get out for party nights? One thing is true of single moms, when we do get a chance to go out – we tend to go a little wild.

As for my wild night, nothing too crazy to report. Just lots and lots of drinking, some good laughs and some much needed girl time. Oh, and I met a single dad who is also a realtor. There’s that kharma for you. So a new house might be in my future.

The birthday scramble and single mama shopping.

This is all according to Daphne Merkin who wrote an article in The New York Times this weekend that sums it all up. “Like four inch stilletos,” she writes, “these men make you feel good just by being part of your person, like the most enticing accessories.”

Please, please, please read this entire article. I don’t think I’ve ever read such an accurate portrayal of some of the men I’ve encountered out there. But I’ll try my best to sum it up. Here goes…

When Do You Tell Him You’re a Single Mom?

November 6, 2007

I have seen a few google searches with this question pointing to my blog. Not sure why they’re taking you here, but it’s a very valid question. My friend Abby has been a single mom for over three years now and one night when we were on a crazy girls night, I had struck up a conversation with a charming dentist. He seemed interested so I thought, “better get it out on the table.” But this is how I phrased it, “Well, you’ll never actually be able to date me.” He looked surprised, “why not?”
