P.S.

Posted on May 01, 2009
My friend, Mike, sent me a note saying, “No, I think it’s you…” He was commenting on my earlier post, “It’s Not Him, It’s You.” The post title was not a commentary on my life. That was meant to refer to Rachel Sarah’s commenter telling her that she didn’t do anything [...

Yay for the Weekend!

Posted on May 01, 2009
It’s been another super-long week, capped off by a very long, strange and frustrating Friday. But, hey, TGIF! My tenants moved out this week. I do not have any replacements yet… There is a possible renter but I won’t know for a few weeks...

It?s Not You; It?s Him

Posted on May 01, 2009
Rachel Sarah recently blogged about her friend’s book on the secret to seducing men, What Men Really Want In Bed: The Surprising Secrets Men Wish Women Knew About Sex. As an aside she also asked the author to explain what she did wrong on a setup that never called...

Gullible

Posted on April 29, 2009
Reminded a friend about the significant amount of money I am owed. Got an e-mail sob story this week about how hard life is and how tight money is right now. Felt really bad. Said “No worries… whenever you have a chance.” Browsing through Facebook pages, saw the following notice on [...

Masks

Posted on April 27, 2009
So I wasn’t going to blog this but I did promise that I would be real here about my divorce recovery process. Real to me and real to you. So here goes: I cried again last week. Just burst into tears at something perfectly innocent and joking that Mr...

Divided By Status

Posted on April 26, 2009
The New York Times has a pretty heartwrenching piece today examining what happens when a couple immigrates, then brings their small children over and raise them here. The kids, of course, get completely Americanized only to find out when they graduate from high school that the buck stops there...

36 Days In and the Ultimate Walk of Shame

Posted on April 26, 2009
Mr. V first e-mailed me on March 22. Last night, on Day 35, he took me out on our first “formal” date (i.e., dress-up event) and introduced me to some of his friends. We had a fantastic time. We went out to dinner first and he had me literally rolling with laughter...

Sunday Stealing: The Mud Meme

Posted on April 26, 2009
The Mud Meme Today we ripped this meme off a blogger named Miranda from the blog The Times of Miranda. She thanks to Mud for prodding some fodder her way, in the way of a meme. But, it was probably stolen at that blog as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we [...

Ready for the Weekend

Posted on April 25, 2009
This week has been insane. Every day felt like a repeat of Monday and it was one calamity after another. Thought I’d sold the house. Nope. Thought I’d rented it. Um… may have fallen through. Big Fail on a work conference call. One brick wall after another at [...

Sigh?

How?s Yours?

Posted on April 23, 2009
My favorite hot Mama, kindred spirit and sexually direct friend, T, wrote a blog post this week about sex in marriage and what is realistic to expect now that she is in the single world. As usual, she may as well have written my thoughts out on paper...

Living with Children

Posted on April 21, 2009
I am so irritated. Let me start this off by saying that I love my parents but right now I sure don’t like them very much. My mother is 58. She doesn’t work. Even though she should. She’s just given up. So you’d think she’d stay home and take [...

Saved

Posted on April 21, 2009
My parents went up to DC to visit my brother this weekend. Apparently he has really taken a 180-degree turn over the past year since he started dating this very religious and sweet Haitian girl. I didn’t believe it at first but I’m starting to feel more certain that he is finally growing [...

Hurtling into the Abyss? or Bliss?

Posted on April 19, 2009
I remember the first (and last) time I went skiing. I had practiced at the bottom for hours, slipping and sliding and cracking my head on the ice every time, but getting right back up and trying again because everyone kept telling me that eventually I would get the hang of it...

Healthy Relationships in Action

Posted on April 17, 2009
I am feeling so much stronger than I have felt in a long time. The past few months off from law school, taking control of my health, working on my self-esteem/boundary setting — all of it has just really made me feel so much better about myself...

Seriously Random Questions Meme

Posted on April 16, 2009
1. Your ex is on the side of the road, on fire. What do you do? I’d render aid. Couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t. Might secretly be pleased if he lived a life of solitude due to disfiguring burns but I sure wouldn’t let him die on the side of the road...

30 Going on 13

Posted on April 14, 2009
While my career seems to be in high gear, my personal life seems to be in regression mode. My very first kiss (safely far off in New Jersey and in the Mormon church now) found me on Facebook, my mother, who has NEVER commented on my sex life, gave me shit after what she [...

Sunday Stealing: The Green Meme

Posted on April 12, 2009
Today we ripped this meme off a blogger and blog named Greenish Lady. She states that Becca invited everyone to do it. But, it was probably stolen at that blog as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time...

So cool?

Posted on April 12, 2009
I’ve been mulling over a post about Mr. V for a few days but I’m just not sure how to put it down in words without sounding like such a girl or without getting way ahead of myself. He’s pretty neat and I love the way he gets me and how we’re taking it [...

Ostrich Immigration Policies

Posted on April 10, 2009
For too many years, the U.S. has lived under kind of a don’t ask/don’t tell immigration policy which supports big companies and the labor market as a whole with cheap labor but really isn’t fair to the people who are trying to follow the law and immigrate under the processes set forth...

Healthy Relationships

Posted on April 10, 2009
One of my favorite healthy mating/relating web sites is Baggage Reclaim. I have a long-overdue review to publish on the author’s awesome book, “Mr. Unavailable and the Fallback Girl.” In the interim, I wanted to share some of her good tips on how to know you are NOT with an Assclown...

Striving for Flower Status

Posted on April 09, 2009
So I’m super-sick with another one of those nasty body-wide pain-type disgusting things. All of my lymph nodes are FREAKING OUT (enlarged and super-painful). Doc said it could be a random virus but she’s making me wait for bloodwork to make sure it’s not one of the fun things, like Epstein-Barr, cancer, etc...
