One of the super fun things about being single is that you get to second guess everything about yourself. Like, maybe I haven’t found the right guy because my clothes are too geeky. I mean, I’m certainly not putting together floral skinny pants and a striped blouse like that model in Glamour. I still think … Continue reading »

I’m a Girl…and I Cry.
There’s something I must confess…I’m a girl, and I cry. Okay, so that’s not such big news. In fact, it’s kind of cliché. And a stereotype. But maybe also a universal truth. (Remember Tom Hanks yelling, “There’s no crying in baseball”?) Well Tom, girls cry and I’m one of them. Sometimes I cry when a … Continue reading »
Happy Singles Awareness Day
My DVR’s Holding Me Hostage
Do you remember those times when you were little and your mom promised you something–like say, a trip to the ice cream parlor–and it never happened? You know, because your dad came home late and he was in a bad mood, and then dinner was late and by the time the dishes were cleaned up, … Continue reading »
Day 7: It’s a Nutcracker…To Crack Your Nuts
Even though it’s let me down with this impending departure of my imaginary husband, Matthew Crawley, Downton Abbey is a great love in my life. With the American premiere tonight (although I’ve already seen all but one episode of season 3), I thought it appropriate to profess my love to it tonight. But I’ve already … Continue reading »
Day 6: Ode to Blake Griffin
Once again, watching a Clippers game. And before you say a certain word like “bandwagon” to me, I’ll have you know I’ve been a semi-diehard fan for three years. And that was long before this year’s league-leading success. Anyway, I became a semi-diehard Clippers fan for one reason: Blake Griffin. I love him for so … Continue reading »
Day 5: My New Queen Sized Bed
(*This is a re-post of a blog entry from October. I’m sorry. I really am. It’s still something I love today, but it is a repeat. Seriously I cannot understand how I wrote a blog post for 365 days before. I’m just so tired today…And Blake Griffin is on soon.) You look so defeated lying … Continue reading »
When To Question Your Own Level of Attractiveness
Day 3: When I Discovered I Was Mindy Kaling
It’s only been about a day and a half, and I’ve already read one book in 2013! At this rate, I should easily be able to beat last year’s total of 5. Look, before you judge me I just want to say this: if working on getting my own book published wasn’t so time-consuming and … Continue reading »
Day 2: I Love the Wisconsin Band Guy
Not in that way. I know I said I was depressed about being the single 30s girl, but that does not mean I am setting my sights on college-aged marching band boys. Yet. Granted at a very awkward work baby shower I was counseled by the eccentric, portly art teacher to “take a young lover”. … Continue reading »
