Lion-Hearted, Take 2!
Ed. note: Wow. There is nothing like when you totally realize you posted a draft, not the blog you meant to post. Sorry about that yesterday, kittens.You now have a slight insight as to how I build out ideas…not terribly exciting, eh? I stumbled across the photo accompanying this post while falling down a […]

“I’ll Miss You,” and Other Lies We Tell People
My friend Beth is moving. This is absolutely a good thing for her and her family. However, her move sparked a conversation between friends at a midweek hangout session, which in turn sparked a sociological thought in me about dating, relationships and love. Beth has a young son, E, who our friend is very close […]

Burritos and Dating
While talking about burritos with some gal friends a few nights ago, I started thinking about, what else, dating and burritos. Rarely have burrito dates gone well for me. Burritos in relationships – awesome. Burritos on a date seems to result in weird mojo. I should note here that burritos are notoriously hard to eat […]

Holla
Back in my hometown, walking down the street often made me feel like Homecoming Queen. Rarely a jaunt to the bagel cafe or the record shop went by that some stranger didn’t catcall at me. I know, I know. Women’s lib. Feminism. Women aren’t objects. I believe all that, now. But truth is, at 15 […]
