A Silly Text-capade

Modern technology can make our lives much easier, and our mistakes impossible to erase. The following exchange happened after being out with a group of friends at a bar and flirting with a cute Australian guy all evening before leaving to go to work at the club.
Text to my girlfriend (or so I thought…):
“He […]

Observation Dating Déjà Vu

I should have known something was suspicious from the guy’s opening line:
Looks directly at me, “I have to apologize…”
“Why?” I ask as girlfriend and I exchange glances.
“Because I really like the way she looks,” he replies turning to said girlfriend.
Okay, way to start on an arrogant note. Read The Game much, buddy? Making […]

I’m a Hopeless Realist

I sat in the hall, decorated simply with gorgeous flowers and filled simply with the people that mattered, and discovered that I was jealous.
I didn’t begrudge the bride a moment of her happiness- in fact, I flew across the country to be a witness to it. It was just a sucker punch to the […]

Homecoming

I always think of going home with such jubilation that I forget that it isn’t necessarily a universal sentiment. I stay at my parent’s house instead of renting a hotel room, even if that means I have occasionally been stuck sleeping on a sofa in the living room. I know that I’ll always be […]

What Would Miriam-Webster Say About Me?

Defining yourself can be a really difficult task, and one that comes up constantly. Job interviews ask the daunting “Tell me about yourself”, social networks pressure you to come up with something witty for the wide open “About Me” and first dates are pretty much the lightning round of the dating game.
So, I asked […]

Is That What This Big Thing In My Chest Is?

Just what I needed on a day too exhausted to write clearly, and much in need of rest for one of my favorite national holidays- Super Bowl Sunday! I’m not letting my feeling toward any men influence my cheering the real Eli Manning on to victory!
So thanks, Meleah, for showering me with praise just when […]

Hangin’ Tough and Wishing for the Right Stuff Tonight (Please Don’t Joke, Bo-oys)

My girlfriends and I got ourselves all worked up over the rumor flying around that New Kids On the Block might be staging a reunion tour. That’s right, the one show that might possibly be more delightfully embarrassing (and infinitely more entertaining) to attend than The Spice Girls.
It started with a People magazine article pointing […]

My First Award!

A GIANT thank you to Meleah at Momma Mia, Mea Culpa who has bestowed upon me my first ever blogging award.

*The award originated with Project Mommy who says: “… I love being a part of the blogging community and part of all the friendships that I’ve formed so I wanted to give a blog […]

Was It Good for You, Commenters?

I’ve been reading The Female Brain and came across a quote that surprised me, but somehow made perfect sense. In her research, Louann Brizendine, M.D. found that “Connecting through talking activates the pleasure centers in a girl’s brain… It’s a major dopamine and oxytocin rush, which is the biggest, fattest neurological reward you can […]
