Never underestimate the power of promiscuity. That old cliché “sleep your way to the top”? Totally true…though in my case, I usually start out on top and sleeping is the last thing on my to-do list. And I haven’t hit great heights yet; the front row is as far as I’ve

Honey Buns was clueless about what to do with
my box in bed…but when it came to my bread, I had to be bossy.

Honey Buns recently confessed a secret that may destroy the bliss we’ve been enjoying for the past month. I’m currently in the numbness stage of grief. Next stop: fury. Final destination: devastation. Population one.
But until we officially arrive in Splitsville, I’m going to keep the details about him as private

Sometimes Man Eater goes looking for trouble. Sometimes trouble finds me. And sometimes, both happen simultaneously.
I’m sitting one table away from Diesel Jeans DJ, in direct sight of Playboy, and within striking distance of his S.O. How did this happen? In part by chance, in part by choice, and in part

I’m thisclose to posting a rageful rant…but if I’m gonna say something nasty, I want it to sting. Thus, I’ll need a day or two to stew. For now, know this: 1) there are no second chances and 2) Nobody puts Man Eater in a corner.

The week following my return from
Denver was drier than Mile High mountain air. An ER doc I was scheduled to “have a cow” with at The Strip Club on Sunday evening cancelled. Then Slump Buster un-fanned me. Puck re-blocked me. Playboy* was

It may be Holy Week according to the church calendar, but Man Eater just had the most sinful Easter weekend ever.
I want to tell this story seductively while still being discreet. Why? I could say it’s because the man of the moment is high profile. I could say it’s because he’

What defines a date? Seriously. I want to know. ‘Cause somewhere along the line, I got labeled as “Couch Potato Chick”. After the requisite coffee, lunch, and dinner outings, we arrive at date three, have sex, and suddenly my suitors relegate me to “let’s stay in” status.
…not that I mind necessarily. Home

I imagine you're chomping at the bit for my juicy news, readers...but sports-ignorant me didn't factor in the recent Vikings game. Narcissistic as I may be, I won't pretend to compete with football. That tasty tidbit must wait until my Minnesotan audience pulls their attention away from the boob tube.
In the meantime,

Just before my conversation with Foodie Dude turned sour, the Pippi Longstocking waitress presented our plates.
I looked down at my breakfast and scowled. “Quiche” was just a fancy word for egg pie! Alongside the spongy yellow triangle was a handful of mixed greens, though I couldn’t tell if

Every single gal needs one male friend who isn’t obsessed with getting into her pants. Foodie Dude was mine. We met at the same writing workshop where I’d seduced Aries.
As a restaurant critic, Foodie Dude hopscotched around the country, getting paid to eat and write. To say I was insanely jealous

After the New Year’s dinner date with My Little Indian (see previous post), I confessed via e-mail that I wanted to keep things platonic. To my surprise, he didn’t mind; in fact, he invited me out for sushi. A week later, on a frigid January night, we met up at the chi-chi

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:

“Ooh—there’s a really cute guy behind you,” Mom said the other night at the jazz club. We’d gone to see one of my childhood friends sing. Aside from the music, Mom was enjoying hypothetically matching me up with every bachelor in sight—even the ineligible ones.
Mom gave me the hubba-hubba
