Last night Irving asked me something that could take our relationship to the next level. We’re talking, a huge step. Earth-shaking in its implications, this new level of our relationship could be the biggest step I’ve ever taken.
It requires a level of trust and faith I’ve never had in any other relationship before. It means [...]

Relationships are way harder than they tell you. See, I’m a mess these days. Now, I like to think I’m a charming mess, but the truth is that for the moment, I’m just a mess. The job hunt is still ongoing and while I sometimes feel very optimistic, at times it’s easy to dip into [...]

I am a big fan of text messaging. It’s a handy way to converse without actually having to talk. I often feel the urge to chat late at night or I want to share one short thought and a text is a simple way to do that.
However, texting has its drawbacks. As I’ve said before [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, can I please take a moment to look into the sky, throw my head back into a yell, and let loose with one astounding “Thank God!”? After what seemed to be an almost impossibly long year, 2009 is finally on its way out. Can I get an amen?!
Don’t get me wrong, 2009 [...]

This year has been rough. Two dear friends moved to opposite sides of the country, I lost my job, the director of my festival passed away (details on that entire experience in another post), and I’ve been dealing with some rather unpleasant gloom that decided to latch on to me somewhere around mid-April and just [...]

I love gifts. I do. I love wrapping them and giving them. I love opening them. I love watching other people open them.
Know what else I love? Cheese. That’s right; I said cheese. I love me some ricotta, some cheddar, a little colby; it’s all delicious. Well, except for bleu, but that’s another post. (Sorry, [...]

For those who haven’t heard, I’m still with the window-scraper. And I’m in love with him. Oh yeah. I’m tossing the word at him all the time now. I can’t help it. Naturally, the first time was the hardest. In fact, a la Miranda of Sex in the City fame, I picked a fight with [...]

Two weeks ago today I lost my job to a lay off. I have a million things I could say about what that felt like. I could tell you that it hurt. That it knocked the air out of me. That it was mortifying.
I could describe, in minute detail, the experience of being walked out [...]

So last night I was at work until 1:00 am. I work in an office building, ladies and gentlemen. And the project that kept me there? Not even due for another week. It’s in review today. And for review, I was at work until 1:00 am. Now, this is not a post about work. Seems [...]

For the last three days I have galavanted about in Connecticut and sundry other New England states. I have eaten my weight in snack-sized Kit Kats and mini bags of Skittles. I have also had pizza, burgers, subs, and more DunkinDonuts than I thought possible to consume in a mere three days. Unfortunately, I have [...]
