Oh, how I love a break up right before my birthday!
Since my divorce, I’ve only been attached (and precariously at that) twice on my birthday. The first time was to EconMan (you can read about that unhappy occasion

“Do you think I’m getting too thin?” I ask Dave one night as we spoon dispassionately in bed.
“Is this a trick question?” he asks.
“No, I’m serious.”
“I think you look hot,” he says, taking one of my butt cheeks in his hand. “You’re not thin, you’re slim. There’

At first, I thought my reader was way off base.

Slump Buster has asked that I refrain from writing about him, a request I find surprising considering where I left off in the last post. You’d think he’d want me to finish that part of the story… (‘Cause if the recent hits are any indication, I know you readers do!)

My second day in Portland marked Day 30 of my cycle. (I hope you don’t need a tutorial in female reproductive matters, readers. 30 days is late by almost any woman’s calendar.) Baby brain soon polluted my blissful vacation. Chubby cherubs were all over the place! When I flipped on the TV, the first

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.

“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.

I'm behind on my must-see TV. It wasn't until this summer that I discovered--and fell in love with--"Boston Legal".

The other day, as soon as I finished blogging about "The Bachelorette" proposal and blubbering about Puck, the doorbell rang. Ding-dong. I stared at the front door, scared and disbelieving and breathless. Could it be? Had Puck, inspired by the finale of ABC’s reality show, finally come for me?
I peeked out the

I’m behind on my hit television series viewing. I chalk it up to the fact that for several years I was conceiving, gestating, birthing, and/or breastfeeding babies and didn’t have time for the tube.

I have done virtually NOTHING today and t’s all ABC’s fault.

Oh. My. God. I just watched the latest episode of “The Bachelorette." In short, The Bachelorette took her Mr. Unattainable back to the fantasy suite (he’s no longer unique there—all three contestants got into bed with her this week. Yuck. STDs, spreading like wildfire…) and…Mr. Unattainable couldn’t get it up!

So pissed about “The Bachelor” finale.
For those of you more evolved than me who don’t watch such crap TV, The Bachelor proposed to the good girl, dumped her six weeks after (on TV, no less), then asked the bimbo slut to give him a second chance. She did, of course.
Probably better

Tonight, after the girls went to bed, watched "The Bachelor" while trying to make whole-wheat breadsticks. While they baked, did yoga and finished watching the show. I haven't watched mindless TV in so long, it felt indulgent.
Breadsticks didn't turn out. Something about my kitchen doesn't lend itself to bread rising. Whatever.
