“Do you
want to get laid today?!” I asked
New Dude when he picked me up bright and early on Saturday morning. For this, our first road trip together, he’d shown up in a mustard yellow Hawaiian shirt that

Man Eater is about to embark on what may be material for some very racy posts (I say “may be” because depending on how XXX the hookup is, it may not be kosher for the blog). Before we proceed, I feel the need to state something:
I’m not a slut. I’m single.

I guess it’s over…whatever “it” was.
The breakup with Slump Buster wasn’t a bash-you-in-the-knees a la Tonya Harding kind of shock; it was a chip-in-the-windshield-that-slowly-spreads kind of heartbreak. It was so subtle, I didn’t initially recognize my sadness as such. But the tell-tale signs of break-up mode were there: The

And I’ll tell you…but before I do, I need to rewind to that Sunday (a.k.a. Day 28 of my cycle) when I asked (read: insisted) that Slump Buster give me a sexy send-off before my departure for Portland. He begrudgingly agreed, though failed to nail down

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

My second day in Portland was just as delicious as the first. On Tuesday morning, after working up a sweat (in the gym, not bed, unfortunately), I hit the streets of Stumptown to hunt down breakfast. I was ravenous, so when I turned the corner and saw the familiar Pita Pit, I almost settled

My trip to Portland started off with a bang…but not the kind I was hoping for.
I may go into details in a future post, but the point is I did not get my much fantasized about send-off from Slump Buster on Sunday night (read: steak at the Strip Club, followed by more

Valentine's Day, in Man Eater’s world, is usually a non-event. I’ve only had one memorable V-day in my whole life! I was 16 and on my second date with The Mexican. He gave me a kiss; I gave him a card.
Wait! Details are important here. He gave me a HERSHEY’S

DAY THREE
Today’s mission: to visit the infamous Fairmount Bagel Bakery (FBB), the birthplace of bagels in Montreal. They boast more than 20 flavors. They even invented the “Bozo” bagel (three bagels roped into one giant orb). In Man Eater’s mind, FBB is

For my 28th birthday, I treated myself to a vacation. I chose Montreal because it wasn’t blatantly Canadian…and, okay, because going where I really wanted to (Puck’s hometown of Winnipeg) would’ve been too stalkerish. I never would’ve resisted running into his mom accidentally-on-purpose with a loaf of my best

Seven months after the wham-bam one-night-stand and breakfast burrito with Aries, I returned to Taos for another writing retreat. Aries wasn’t registered, but since he lived close by, he stopped by for meditation one morning.
Because the retreat was silent, Aries didn’t greet me in that sexy voice of his; instead, he
