I was told by one of my bff's this weekend that I need to write again...so, here I am, making time that I don't have to, once again, bitch about the singlehood status. I feel like I'm on fucking repeat so I'm gonna shake this up a bit and get real about what it's REALLY [...]

A moment of silence.
New job? Check. Back in the dating world? Check. Feel like I doused myself in gasoline and ran through a field of dried brush? Check. Metaphor getting lost in my sleep-deprivation? Fuck. Yes. You know what though? I like it. And life has just taken a turn for the incredible. I woke up at [...]
Demolition.
So I'm taking inventory....finally. There have been a few people I personally know that I have peripherally kept in my life for one reason or another. Some date back to the stone age (i.e. when I was younger) and some are more recent acquaintances. I've kept one tiny, minute portion of my pinky finger on [...]
Sometimes indecision IS a decision.
I alluded to some 'heart-wrenching' (maybe over exaggerated with that term but whatevs) dating situations in my last post and thought, hell...if I'm opening up a flesh wound, may as well dig all the way to the artery and bleed out. There is a pretty profound lesson found in each of the scenarios so, maybe, [...]
HOW A STRONG WOMAN SEES A RELATIONSHIP — TYPICALLY FROM AFAR….
Any woman who is strong, independent and speaks her mind (normally) has it rough in this dating game...Crazy bitches have given "women" a bad rep -- chicks who go all psycho because they can't keep their neediness under wraps are adding to reasons why we 'normal' gals have to over analyze and keep in check [...]
WHY I DON’T BELIEVE IN SECOND CHANCES…STRIPES, TIGERS AND SHIT.
Ah, it's been a minute...I've missed it here. Just life has been so fucking busy that any moment I have to myself is spent on a bottle of wine and a hot bath...Let's just say, life took an interesting (and awesome) turn four weeks ago and I'm back to being in a good place. Any [...]
WHEN YOU SUDDENLY REALIZE YOU’RE THAT DIVORCEE WHO IS SOUGHT OUT FOR RELATIONSHIP ADVICE…
I consider myself to be a fairly level-headed person. I know I'm not without moments of craziness...hell...I'm not only human, I AM a woman. Additionally, I'm one of the (what I'm guessing to be) millions of women/humans who have been divorced...I've had a couple of long-term relationships, followed by a 10-year relationship/marriage, followed by a [...]
YOU ASKED, SO HERE GOES…(BONUS CLE ON DATING WOMEN LIKE ME…AKA, STRONG AF)
Ok, ok, ok....I can't tell you how many requests I've received for a "dating" post lately. 100% disclosure -- it's cuz I've not necessarily been on any dates for quite some time. But, there were a couple. Since going at dating the "old fashioned" way (i.e. offline), I've eliminated about 88% of the fuck-tards that [...]
WHY I TRAVEL…FUCK THOSE KARDASHIANS
First off, I travel on a budget. If I wanted to drop a couple grand on a fancy/schmancy all-inclusive then I better have already been to and explored that country. When you're stuck in a resort you're really not experiencing culture...you're just being a fucking American, in a posh setting, pretending to be something/someone you're [...]
MY HIATUS AND SHIT…THE SADNESS AND MADNESS OF IT ALL
In memory of Naya, a.k.a. "The Best Dog in the World." July 30, 2001 - Sept 8, 2016 I know I'm overdue for a good post. But life has been fairly rough. Last week I had to make the hardest decision of my life and lay to rest my soul-mate. Naya was literally the best [...]
