Let me preface this by saying I love men. A lot. Often. This is not a man-hating post. Though some are going to read it as such and those people are dumb as stumps. A friend’s daughter starts every interaction with a new potential romantic partner with a simple direct question. “Would you vote forContinue reading “Misogyny is Alive. And Thriving.”

Sisterhood in The Ladies Room
I was recently in the ladies room of a restaurant here in my city. I was on a date with my love. The location is not important. Nor is the time of year. Or the type of establishment. But, if you know me or my man, it was not a chain or a place whereContinue reading “Sisterhood in The Ladies Room”
I Won’t Be Quiet
I think I’ve talked about this in the past, but I tend to be chatty. Really, I tend to be loud. In a room full of people, you can rest assured, that it’s usually my voice (and often my laugh) that is heard above the din. I grew up in a family of very loudContinue reading “I Won’t Be Quiet”
Advice for Men on Tinder
… and Bumble, and Match, and Hinge, and Plenty of Fish, and eHarmony. You get the idea. Disclaimer… this post is directed to my non-target audience. This one is for the boys. But I suspect this one will resonate with my ladies. Let me start by saying I love men. A LOT. Post-divorce, as IContinue reading “Advice for Men on Tinder”
A Day in the Life of a Blonde Bombshell
There’s an iconic photo of a blonde bombshell that hangs in my bedroom. You’re probably assuming it’s a photo of Marilyn Monroe in that amazing white halter dress. You would be wrong; this photo is of a different blonde bombshell completely. The photo in question is of Jayne Mansfield, smiling up at the camera toContinue reading “A Day in the Life of a Blonde Bombshell”
Instagram Reels are the Mix Tapes of the New Millennium
Back in the day, we expressed our young love through mix tapes. Mix tapes were carefully curated and, when done right, became the ultimate love letter. When delivered to your love, they were given with a fair measure of angst. Would this mix tape be received with the same amount of feeling it was conveyedContinue reading “Instagram Reels are the Mix Tapes of the New Millennium”
The Last Swipe
Let me preface this by saying that dating apps are trash. Two years ago, I swiped right for the very last time. During my foray into the world of online dating, I chatted and sometimes met the most “interesting” cast of characters. A nice enough man who took me out for coffee; but he hadContinue reading “The Last Swipe”
Motivate Me
Want to know the best way to motivate me? Fun fact, it’s not money. It’s not adulation. It’s not praise. It’s certainly not nagging. Nope. Turns out my motivation all too often comes from a very different place Tell me I can’t do something. Tell me I shouldn’t do something. Watch as the Aries energyContinue reading “Motivate Me”
Believe Women
Dear readers, I think it’s pretty clear where my politics lie. In 2016, I was stunned when the piece of human waste named Trump was elected to the most powerful position in our country. Frankly, I always considered this “man” to be a piece of garbage, a grifter, a liar. Anyone with a brain couldContinue reading “Believe Women”
All Hail the Hall Pass
Remember the episode of Friends where Ross decides not to add Isabella Rossellini because she’s too “international?” Then he goes and laminates the list only to lament that decision when he actually meets her? Comedy gold, especially when he mocked Chandler for including Jessica Rabbit on his list. I will say, I have no cartoonContinue reading “All Hail the Hall Pass”
