Race Relations in the Race to the Altar

Friday, February 12th, 2010

I haven’t posted in a week. I’ve been stewing over something that I’m not exactly sure how to appropriately articulate, and lo and behold it has to do with another one of my friends.
There we sat, discussing a friend of a friend and the outlandish lengths she’s gone to in order to meet “someone,” expanding [...]

Baby Shower Bamboozling

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Can someone please explain to me what the hell a “Couples Shower” is? Because I just don’t even know anymore.
My friend Mara, the same one who got married in all kinds of annoying ways, who went AWOL after ascending to the state of wifedom, and who is now in the family way; has sent me a [...]

My Ever-Lasting Bra Strap Fishing Expedition

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

It really is never ending, people. And I just don’t understand it.
I go to Victoria’s Secret. I get fitted for a bra (don’t get too excited boys- no nudity or boob fondling is involved), which is generally a sad experiment because each attempt seems to yield a different result. 32B. 34A. 34B. Triumph! They’re getting [...]

Fourth Annual Turkey Day Craft Hour

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

It’s that time of year again, and like last year’s Turkey Craft Extravaganza, Graphic Designer Friend and I have themed our turkeys after Guilty Pleasures: hers still being Twilight and mine now being The Rachel Zoe Project (which seriously needs to be picked up for a third season). Hope you enjoy the crafty results of our [...]

The Edward Cullen Factor

Friday, November 20th, 2009

I don’t worship at Our Lady of Twilight Cathedral. I don’t pay homage to the sparkly skin of Edward Cullen. I’ve never read the books and, until last night when I conducted some “research,” I hadn’t seen the movie either. So I haven’t really understood the mass hysteria of this seemingly endless vampire trend- the movies [...]

Growing Pangs

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

I waited, I indulged her, I already knew what was coming. As she tried to build suspense for what she was about to unveil, I kept myself from jumping in and interrupting, ruining her moment.
“I’m pregnant!”
Of course you are, I thought, while even my internal narrative sighed in conflict. I wasn’t surprised, knew they’d been [...]

Dodging the Engagement Ring Bullet

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

I found out the other day from the mutual friend who introduced us that North Shore, the guy I dated for a few months last summer, is engaged. To the girl he dated mere weeks after me. I believe this makes seven- seven guys who have proposed once removed. Anyone trying to get engaged? Apparently, [...]
