Let’s Get Married – or Break Up
Sunday, January 30th, 2011
This post isn’t about forcing a decision, but rather about forcing a realization. Which is why I invited my significant other to move in so we could decide unequivocally if we wanted to get married – or break up.
And that was the only choice. I mean, really, if you can’t figure out after 6 months whether or not it’s working, that says it all. (more…)

What’s Mine Isn’t Yours
Monday, January 24th, 2011
I don’t care what anyone says; I want my own money. I don’t want to get (or give) an “allowance” or to have to answer for every pair of shoes I buy (which would mean a whole lot of explaining). No, I want financial independence from everyone – including my husband. Which is why I’m still happily married. (more…)

Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That
Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010
I’m not gay. Happy, yes (at the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell), but not gay. But I do sometimes think about what separates straights from gays. Besides the obvious sex thing. Because the older I get, the more I think about the feelings I have for some women. (more…)

Monday, December 13th, 2010
Women are natural sellers. I came upon this realization recently – maybe during my orgy of Christmas movies (when Jennifer convinces Santa to let her ride in the sleigh and Ashley gets the rich, mean store owner to let her redesign the toy department). The ability to sell – both ideas and things – comes naturally to women and is probably what helps us maintain our sanity. Which is why we always get away with selling the Big Lie.

Hell Yes to a Free Market
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
For those who know me (or are familiar with my former blog, Political Doodle), you are well aware that I am a pablum puking liberal. That said, I have to admit that I have begun to believe in the “free market” – a market that is unfettered by laws and regulations where there is no intervention by the state.
I say HELL YES to a free market. . . in sports. If only the free market ruled, we’d have so much more time for relationships. (more…)
