The Love Thing
Monday, October 10th, 2011
Everyday you hear about love. In songs, on TV, in the movies. You read articles in Cosmo about how to get your man to love you (as if). And girlfriends call you up to complain and whine about the man they love. But, really, how many times can a woman over 40 say she’s been in love? Me? Well, let me count.

Brett Favre or Martha Stewart?
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011
The first boy I had a crush on (not counting my imaginary friend, George) was Paul Esposito. In the third grade, Paul pulled my hair, chased me from the school, and when he caught up, kissed me. He warned me not to tell anyone – which I, of course, did – and he vociferously denied it forevermore. That was my first infatuation (which lasted about 25 years, but that’s another story) and it didn’t end well.
Okay; it didn’t end that badly. We went to a girl-ask-boy dance in the 8th grade and kind of hung out together in high school, but it still was unrequited love.
Which makes me think about the timeline of our attraction to the opposite sex. (more…)
