“You’re early!” New Dude exclaimed when he appeared behind me, nude and dripping wet.
“I
know, right?” I replied, plopping down on the couch with an issue of
Spin.
My punctuality wasn’t the only sign that something was very wrong. All day, I’d been in that weeping-over-the-steering-wheel-for-no-apparent-reason

Grant Dawson has a hot kitchen. Seriously. Only moments after shedding my sandals at the doorway of his quaint St. Paul abode, my clothing is soaked…above and below the waistline.
My interviewee seems totally cool, despite donning a long-sleeved shirt, heavy pants and a Twins baseball cap. Though I’m sweatin’ it, nervousness

Was I too harsh in my last post? Blame it on my writing style. Third person plural can sound accusatory, so today I will stick to “I” statements. This is what was really going on inside my pretty little head:

I am now convinced the granting of my Christmas wishes was not ignored, but simply delayed. Over the last few days, I’ve received more date invites than I did in all of 2009! I owe Santa some seriously delicious cookies.
And to my readers, I owe you this previously deleted post:

Man Eater is in hot pursuit...of the perfect pancake.

Breakfast in bed is a foreign concept to me.
As an endurance athlete (and food lover who's gotta keep her muffin top in check), I try to be consistent with my workouts. Every day for the past six years, I've woken up, whipped off the nightgown, and slipped right into my itty bitty shorts

EconMan used to say “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” If that’s true, I have arrived.
I originally made my celibacy pledge whilst studying the Yoga Sutras (a.k.a. The Ten Commandments for us pretzel people.) My mentor had given a lecture on bramacharya, the moderation of one’s

Breakfast in bed is a foreign concept to me.
As a marathon runner, I find the only way to be consistent with my workouts is to get up, whip off the nightgown, and slip right into my running gear. After a cup of coffee and an orange, I’m out the door. Lately, my
