Lately, I somehow seem to have unwittingly become the emotional sounding board of single late 30s/ early 40s men. It’s uncanny. Granted, I guess you could say I have some “experience” with dating older (in some cases significantly) and divorced men (one with a child), so if anything, I’m an empathetic listener. But, while I [...]
Yeah, yesterday was kind of a stupid bad day. The kind when nothing seems to work right, when everything is just…off. It began with the rain actually raining up under my umbrella while I stood waiting fifteen minutes for my bus, only to be splashed by a rabid cab on my walk from said bus [...]
Wedding season is once again upon us and lucky me, I’m in the thick of it. No, I’m not a bridesmaid again. And no, I don’t have a series of weddings to attend this year, though there are one or two on the horizon. I’m in a calligraphy class. Platinum Weddings edition. I promise you, [...]

This year, I was a woman on a mission. I was getting in [...]
I’m swimming in a sea of wedding registries. Soup tureens. Fluted stemware. Salad spinners. A Nintendo Wii (people, you don’t have to get married to get one). Satin Balance flatware. Matte pointelle fine bone china. The Magic Bullet (not that magic bullet- the one “as seen on TV”). Spatulas, gravy ladles, napkin rings, chargers, decanters, [...]
