I wasn’t planning on anything, I swear it. We had been out drinking all night and I was being the dutiful wing man. If that meant we ended up back at my girlfriend’s crush’s house playing pool with his friend, so be it.
Jodie pulled me aside, “So….you two seem to be hitting it off….and […]

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 […]

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 […]

I grew up with one rule in my household- thou shall not tell lies. I was only grounded once in all of my partying, angst-filled high school days for getting caught in a lie, mainly because I never got enough practice to be good at it.
I clearly never had the proper motivation. After leaving […]

Finding myself in boots that were definitely not made for walking, I realized that the bar we had just left was half the distance of walking all the way home. I also knew that there was a group of friends I grew up with that I could easily join, so I wouldn’t be sitting […]

Some might say that Santa was good to me this holiday season, parading men across my path to distract me from the Boy Toy, but I prefer to believe in karma, to which I fully attribute the following story.
Following the Giants/Patriots game Jodie, Cali and I realized that, it being early evening and a […]

After a pseudo-break up with Boy Toy over the holidays, I reverted to old habits of singledom- namely scrolling through my cell phone for former flames that somehow fizzled. And I partially blame the NY Giants for my regression.
A few weeks prior, while Cali was in town visiting, I’d met a cute guy out […]

Yep, it’s official, my Boy Toy has been recalled.
Just a few weeks ago I was trying to define what I wanted from our relationship, and deal with him asking me to meet his parents on my next trip home. I didn’t worry much when our communication became less frequent as the holidays approached, because […]

Everyone loves a man in uniform, right? Well, there are exceptions to every rule.
I flew through the El Paso airport this weekend which, being near an army base, was flooded with soldiers in fatigues. Now, common knowledge would say this should be a turn on, but instead of imagining any of these toned, […]

I’m supposed to love you.
At times I do, when you look cheerfully around the room and ask, “Who needs a hug?” This is so out of character for you that I know the gesture is intended as a means of gratitude towards the family. I accept the embrace as sincere, because I want […]
