November 13th, 2008 · 5 Comments

One of the benefits of working in the same building for the last 8 years, and having had various office trysts, is walking past places were I enjoyed an illicit kiss or two. Years ago on a Sunday, I “made out” (see Bartles & Jaymes) with my boyfriend at the time in my cubicle. We [...]

The Hidden Perks

September 15th, 2008 · 4 Comments

There are some hidden perks to living the single life.  I was in my nightgown (a frumpy ass granny nightie) by 5:15.  I watched 3 episodes of Mad Men while I inhaled a healthy dinner.  Mmm…nothing like grilled peaches and goat cheese served over spring greens.  It’s amazing what you can do with 5 minutes [...]

Dating Theory 101

May 1st, 2008 · No Comments

Several years ago, my friend, M, provided me with a riveting explanation of how dating should work. I provide it for you below.

It’s like….. like a Sedan. Okay? Our love lives are like a five-seater sedan. Choose the car you want. I pick my baby bmw sitting at home waiting for me faithfully. So… it’s [...]

Dance With Me

April 29th, 2008 · No Comments

This feels like some kind of dance, and I’m not sure who’s leading.  I don’t want to step on his toes and cause him to pull away.  I want him to take my hand, to lead me and show me how to follow him.  If only it were that easy.  But how do I get [...]
