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 […]

It’s always tough to come across a subject or a feeling that you can’t describe, especially when it’s the final blow in your closing argument.
I spent a recent evening out with a male colleague who I’ve known for a while, but haven’t had many in-depth conversations with. Over a couple beers, business talk turned […]

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 […]

I’m obviously slightly biased, as I’m posting this on Christmas and all, but I really just like the idea of a day devoted to celebrating the possibility of miracles. I’m not talking about religion, or necessarily divine intervention, but the amazing pieces of life that we can easily overlook.
The parents who go above and […]

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 […]

Oh yeah, just what I needed. Grandma came to visit, and thought it would be appropriate to share with me, after asking if I was dating anyone (”yeah, but no one special”), that she had previously asked my Mom if I was a “homo” and just afraid to admit it. Grandma married her high […]

You showed me what true love looks like. The image of you running to the door the second you heard Dad’s car pull up, so that you wouldn’t have to wait another second before throwing your arms around his neck, showed me that enthusiasm doesn’t have to fade with marriage.
And I love that you […]

My mom called me last Sunday night saying, “Guess what- you’re brother’s getting married!” Considering that my boss had already tried to fake fire me and a friend had pulled a similarly unbelievable stunt, I was on to her and didn’t buy it for more than a nano-second.
Then she continued with stories of how […]

I always feel a little strange at holiday parties with my family for one strange reason- I never know everyone. My family’s party is always hosted at my aunt and uncle’s gorgeous house and includes all of the cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends of the host. So why do I feel like a […]

After watching LOST tonight, I got to thinking about father figures and their influence on our dating lives (a prevalent theme in the show for non-viewers). I’ve often heard that the relationship a girl has with her father will dictate the type of relationships she’ll have with men for the rest of her life. […]
