I am sorry.
As it seems, I am currently suffering from a WICKED case of PMS. I have never really fallen victim to this monthly debacle, but in the last 24 hours I have felt overwhelmingly compelled to freak out on nearly everyone I have come into contact with, and, well, have.
For that, I’d like to […]

An Open Apology. I Had PMS; It Wasn’t My Fault
The Pill Bill
I like to think of myself as a progressive woman. I pay my own rent, buy my own drinks at the bar, and I don’t expect my boyfriend to have to pay for me. I am a big fan of the unspoken agreement we have where I’ll pick up the tab sometimes, and he’ll get […]
Surprise! It’s Time To Meet The Parents
To me, (to most people I think..) meeting the parents is a big deal. If I actually like someone enough, if I actually foresee a guy being in my life longer than a few dates, then maybe at some point I will bring him to my parent’s house and subject him to my family.
I think […]
Ahoy Sailors! The Fleet Comes To The West Coast!
I know The Fleet has come and gone from the East coast, but now it has made it’s way to The City of Roses (Portland, OR- my city of residence) and when my friend informed me she had won tickets to this “non-denim” (yes, the tickets specified no denim) formal affair event, we had to […]
Love-Free Diet: Day Five

I am up on the news, I am up on […]
Love-Free Diet: Day Four
[Read day three HERE]
…Or maybe it’s the gender distinction of romance and love.
It’s been my understanding that the majority of guys do not watch rom-coms without mentally noting what things someone would obviously do if they loved you; that they in fact can listen to a John Legend song without awaiting a diamond ring; that […]
Love-Free Diet: Day Three
[Read Day 2 HERE]
This morning I tried to watch Good Morning America while I got ready for work, but no such luck whe it came to my diet restrictions. The first commercial break assaulted me with a Hershey’s Kiss commercial displaying a cute couple within the first millisecond and sent me sprinting for the TV […]
Love-Free Diet: Day Two
[Read Day One HERE]
Maybe it’s not the nights that will get me, but rather the entire days. This morning I read the newspaper (again), and I can’t decide if I feel 55 and retired, or 15 with a current event quiz looming.
I did get some comforting feedback from this little “project” today though, by a […]
