Who is Nelly?  Why do we “whoa” her?  And why does she never slow down post-whoaing?

On the flip side of my negative, editorial-crazed posting, the advantage to my work is that I find a well-crafted sentence is a thing of beauty.  I can appreciate a compound, complex sentence or the use of an under-appreciated word in the way a wine connoisseur is able to appreciate the subtle differences in Napa [...]

At a cocktail party, the moment someone finds out there is a doctor in the house the guests begin lining up for free medical advice.  If there’s a therapist, people want an instant analysis of their crazy.  And if there’s a chef invited to your party, you expect that whatever they bring is going to [...]

Lifetime – Television For Women, has got to be one of the most depressing networks on the air.  Are a lot of women suicidal and looking for that one miserable story that will send them over the edge?  Or are we too happy and looking for a dose of misery to pinch us awake?

President Barack Obama (that is so much fun to say!) has not officially been president for even 72 hours.  Still, never let it be said the man doesn’t manage his time well.  With the determination we’ve come to expect from him, he has leaped into his new job with both feet.  He’s already made changes and has begun acting [...]

WHOO HOOO!
Please don’t get me wrong.  I am well aware that the battle is far from over.  We’re entrenched in two wars, the worst economic conditions [...]

When is a fondue party no longer a fondue party? When it becomes a faux bachelorette party, of course!
Allow me to set the scene for you. First, we must take a trip back in time. Back to a simpler era. Back to the days of Nirvana (the group, not the state of mind). Back to [...]

My but I’ve been lax here lately, haven’t I?  We’re weeks into 2009 and I’ve scarcely said a word all year.  I offer my deepest apologies and promise to make it up to you all soon.  Really.

So, the strike was a disaster.  I saw several of my guy friends over the course of my “no boys allowed” experience and spent far too much time with two in particular who really were the impetus for the strike in the first place. 
Still, I think it served a purpose.  One, it told me that I [...]
