It’s been over a year since I posted anything here, and I don’t really know why. I’m certainly not any less introspective (or bat shit crazy). My life hasn’t suddenly become shitshow-less. If anything, you’d think a global pandemic would be perfect fodder for my musings. Yet while other creatives flourished, as evidenced by the... Continue Reading →
I was having lunch a few months ago with a good friend/co-worker (female) and two former colleagues-turned-friends (male) when a curious thing happened. None of us had previously been part of a cloister or lived particularly sheltered lives - we were trial lawyers after all. But despite the collective decades of debaucherous experience sitting around... Continue Reading →
As I flew home at the ass crack of dawn hungover (or maybe still slightly drunk) after a quick business trip to Kansas City last month, I fought back tears as lyrics to a Dave Matthew's song I'd heard countless times before suddenly committed treason on my unsuspecting heart. I'm really not sure what it... Continue Reading →
When we last left our (mad) social scientist (A little Genghis Kahn: my love/hate relationship with the Alpha Male (Part 1), she had just given Rooster what she thought were his walking papers from the Operation Alpha test group. Thanks to some very poor taking a hint skills, we rejoin our favorite heroine (hey, I write... Continue Reading →
It’s taken me the better part of two decades to fully appreciate this about myself, but the simple fact is I’m attracted to aggressive, confident, successful men. Sure, intelligence, looks, height and (ahem) other sizes are all important. But if I’ve learned anything from the graveyard of exes I’m still digging, the personality traits of the...

Imagine standing alone in your bedroom, silently rehearsing dialogue from a fantastical conversation you've written in your head about a yet-to-happen event that is sure to change your life in the most incredible way, all while you're tediously matching freshly laundered socks. OK maybe it's not pairing socks, but washing dishes. Or perhaps you're commuting... Continue Reading →
Hobbling to the subway with a bruised foot, scraped palm and sore elbow, I couldn't help but chuckle at the day's events. Nine hours. In the span of nine hours, I had taken two different (wrong) subway trains, almost fell in the file room when my foot got stuck in my sweater, missed a doctor's appointment... Continue Reading →
While I wouldn't consider myself a social media guru, I undoubtedly have spent more than enough time on the various platforms to have some quasi-meaningful insights and observations about them. So after the countless hours spent promoting events and poking fun at my single girl status, I've decided that Instagram is the one. And I... Continue Reading →
Thanks to all who took time out to post a question! I'm actually surprised they are as tame as they are. Below are answers to some - I've been super busy so I just decided to post what I've answered thus far and I'll finish the rest this week. I've copied the questions directly from...

As promised, my answers to the questions I skipped the first time... Feel free to ask more - I may make this a regular thing. And if I missed any, let me know! If you had $5 million dollars and couldn’t spend it on yourself what would you do with the $$???? I would make... Continue Reading →
Remember that amusement park ride where you went around in circles, slowly at first and then progressively faster and faster, switching directions halfway through, daringly lifting your arms off the lap bar while riding over arches just steep enough to cause your stomach to flipflop, all set to music as the ride operator-turned-DJ spun the...

If you've followed me on social media for a hot second, you know that my dating life is nothing if not complicated. What you might not know is that it's been five years since I was in a traditional, committed relationship, and at almost 45 with two marriages under my belt, I'm not exactly chomping...

I'm just going to put this out there - I like sex...a lot. Frequent toe-curling, dehydration-inducing trysts are a necessity for this girl to be a functioning member of society. And when those are in short order, then batteries replace the Gatorade. As part of my love affair with pursuits of the flesh, I am... Continue Reading →
As a young girl, I remember my mother repeatedly telling me I didn’t need a man in my life. Not to depend on one for anything; to learn to be independent, to choose a career that would allow me to take care of myself financially. It was a recurrent theme for years, and in large part...

Quinn sobbed, the sound muffled by the bleeding finger in her mouth, her grandmother's vintage vase in pieces on the floor. Hastily trying to clean it up, Quinn had sliced her finger on one of the larger shards. Thankfully she didn't need stitches. But at this point, even a trip to the ER sounded better...

Let me just get this out of the way. Somehow you found this site and for that, I apologize 😳 Kidding - this site is going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, you'll see. But seriously, whether you came here intentionally or just happened to stumble upon it half lit at 3 am,... Continue Reading →
