There are bad Mondays, Mondays that you discover a guy you’ve been chatting with isn’t as unattached as claimed, or actually unattached at all, and then there are shitty Mondays. Shitty Mondays start out great. New grown-up work blouse with perfectly matched accessories, clear skin, enough time to shave and moisturize, blue bird on your [...]

I am a traditional woman. I know that the cheap, excessive Pinot and the three-legged animal might lead you to think otherwise, but I’m about as traditional as they come. With some things. If I could bring us back to the days of cotillions and dance cards, I would, although I’d pre-populate said card with [...]

I’m in love with my therapist. Not in lust love, as that would not be at all appropriate, but love love, like you are with good friends. I’m referring to the ones who know better than to buy you anything with puffy paint on it and those who remember you’re allergic to shellfish. She’s a [...]

I’m 35 today. No streamers needed, although confetti is always nice. Confetti and lots of wine.

I watched the election aftermath from a hotel room in Waco, Texas, just about the last place I thought I would be to bear witness. Somehow I pictured that I’d be home in DC, that I’d hear kids setting off small fireworks in the streets while I toasted the television with a better red than [...]

Did you vote? If you haven’t, stop reading blogs and get out there. If you did, what was your experience? If you decided not to vote, why? I’m interested to hear your stories today.
Also, I’m so excited I could pop. It’s finally here.
