Using the Tickle as a Springboard

August 10, 2010

I used to be fearless. Over the past few years, I’ve become more aware of the little tickle of fear that squirms in my stomach. I think the more aware you are of what you can lose, the more you are aware of the threats. There’s nothing like knowing that everything you thought would work in [...]

Meet Me in St. Louis!

June 14, 2010

I love this movie, and if you haven’t seen it, you should. I wanted to let you all know that I move to St. Louis this week, so I’ll be taking a two week hiatus to get settled. I’ll still be hanging out online, but stay tuned for new posts to show up the week [...]

Happy 2nd Birthday Blog!

May 21, 2010

Yes, it’s my blog’s second birthday, whoo!! Andy Weitsman told me that I needed to celebrate (and actually find out when I started my blog, because as of last week, I didn’t remember). Maybe because he was so excited about his first year, I got excited and looked up when I started. If you don’t [...]

The New Romance

April 26, 2010

After reading a number of posts about how social media is changing the dating scene, I wondered if there were other changes that had little or nothing to do with social media. I’m a single, female, 20-something, so *hopefully* I’m not way off base with my assumptions about how women may view romance. Movies have [...]

Alternate Life Slipping Into Reality

March 18, 2010

I think. A lot. Probably too much. I used to suffer from severe insomnia, and when I saw a professional about it, they said it was because my mind was running too much. The minute my head hits the pillow, I’m thinking at 80mph. That makes it hard to go to sleep, and then if [...]

Breaking Glass and Setting Cheese on Fire, OPA!

March 11, 2010

When I was a waitress, I worked in a Mediterranean restaurant that was owned by a couple of Greek families. They were trying to bring together the loud, large family atmosphere with fine dining. Special events would have belly dancers, and we would light food on fire on a regular basis. Even though I thought [...]

Why Do We Have to Hide Faith?

February 22, 2010

We don’t talk about religion. Many of us are afraid to mention it to each other. We might be on hiatus from being active in a congregation, but many of us probably look to the heavens and wonder. Is someone listening? A friend of our family passed away last week. The cancer won, and this [...]

My Favorite Valentine’s Day

February 12, 2010

For your Friday entertainment, I thought you would like to hear a story of my favorite Valentine’s Day celebration. Now before you go running for the hills, trust me, this isn’t lovey-dovey, and I hope it makes you smile. In college, there were four of us who were roommates, and we used to call ourselves [...]
