My favorite scar isn’t a scar in the sense you may be thinking. I didn’t earn it playing some frightfully dangerous sport. I didn’t beat off a “perp” as he attacked some little old lady. I never leaped off of a precipice doing somersaults and twists before landing in a damp [...]

I just had a very scary thought this morning.  I’m losing my boys!  All of my guy friends are going to drift away into their relationships and I’ll lose them….
B.S. (initials, and oddly enough a fair description of what we talk about!) who I’ve known since my freshman year of college, may eventually be moving in [...]

Well ladies and gentlemen, I sprawl here on my floor in front of a glowing television, tired but quite content. 
 Today marks a rare and magical occasion.  This morning, after sleeping in and waking up without the aid of an alarm, I made a to-do list. 
Certainly you are all familiar with the concept of the to-do [...]

Ah, the Renaissance Festival.  It’s a magical place where accountants, business executives, bikers, teachers and librarians all casually abandon our day to day attire and modern way of life to don huge skirts, tight corsets, lace up boots, head scarves and gaudy jewelry and adopt bad accents and wander around in the blazing sun to [...]

Sleep is a powerful thing. It’s certainly one of my favorite pastimes. I think it is currently underrated by the world at large. There are so many things about sleep I like.
 
I love clean sheets. Good bedding can be a religious experience. For example, I have two very nice sets of sheets. One set is [...]

Last night I discussed the birthday situation with a friend who wanted to know why birthdays are so significant. Here is my thought on the subject:
We rarely have anything really original in our lives. Almost every possible aspect of human existence has already been experienced. People have been falling in and out of love for [...]

Yowza.  With the big birthday fast approaching, now is the time to be marching boldly into the future.  I need to tearing through the fears and shackles that have kept me from accomplishing my goals until now.
Now, to be fair, I have actually done quite a bit with my young life.  Thanks to a fabulous [...]

Break up sex. I hear it’s lovely. I hear that it is a nice way to wrap up the experience. I hear that we, as a society, have practically made it a break up requirement. I’ve heard all of this, but I have yet to experience it.

I  have some very wise friends.  Now, I know everyone think their friends are the best, but mine are really top drawer.  (I enjoy that expression, but I worry about it sometimes – my top drawers hold my underwear and pajamas.)
I say this about my friends because lately there have been many things in my [...]

Oy!  My stomach is not terribly pleased with me right now.  As you may know from reading last night’s breakup recap, I indulged in a little non-South Beach food.  I come with a strong belief that emotional eating cancels both calories and carbs.  As such, nothing I ate last night should be a problem…. My [...]
