Discussions

In the car yesterday, Megan and I were discussing my date with Everette. She wanted to hear my story of being in London and finding out the guy I was there with had been (and technically still was) married. And in her true Megan way, she wanted me to look at it from a less-cheery […]

Washington – Date Two

Fine, I admit it. I have a hard time making decisions between two exceptional choices. So with only one day in Seattle and two really nice potential dates from How About We, I couldn’t play “eenie-meenie-miney-moe” like I did when I was a child — I went out with both! This is the story of […]

I’ve been a ModCloth disciple since a friend […]

Packing/Unpacking

I’ve been doing the literal kind of packing — rolling clothes into tiny balls and hoping they won’t wrinkle. But it turns out that part of this process is a figurative unpacking — running into old boyfriends and sussing out unanswered questions. In go the block-colored kitten heels. Out comes the confession that we cannot be friends. […]
