Oh, the action around here!
A friend recently ran into someone from the past, her sister's high school boyfriend.
"So what's Elena up to anyway?," he asked my friend. "Is she masterminding a start-up now or working on a cure for cancer or AIDS or something?"
"Not quite," s...
It doesn't seem like we had much of a dating checklist when we first started dating back in high school; I think most of us had about two must-haves, like "must be cute" and "nice personality." Which basically means a pretty big dating pool.
It's...

I'm all for honesty and openness in a relationship, but where do you draw the line?
Does your partner need to know how many people you've slept with?
Don't think so.
Same with where he rates on the "best sex I ever had" meter; if he's not gold ...
When my friend Liz was falling in love with Derek, she described him as "perfect."
"He's so smart and handsome and sweet, and he has this cute little snort when he laughs," I remember her telling me, dreamily. "There's really nothing he does that...
"All the good men are taken!"
How often have we heard a woman say that, or maybe even felt that way ourselves?
Is that true? A recent study says that women must believe that's so, because they're more attracted to attached men than unattached me...
Thank you for bringing up the difference between swinging & polyamoury.
I have a good number of polyamorous friends. Poly can work if all partners involved are on the same wavelength on what they expect from the group relationship as well as from each individual partner.
As for it being the next "big" thing or next e...
I should say that I'm convinced that poly isn't for everyone. It is however the only thing that makes sense to me as far as relationships go. I spent a lot of my adult life in serial monogamous relationships & also a lot of energy I now think need...
You'd think that with our friends-with-benefit, no-stings-attached, booty call, hookup mentality nowadays, the world's "oldest profession" would be a thing of the past. But it's hard to maintain those kinds of relationships for too long without th...
From reading your responses, it sounds like I am one of the lucky ones who is blessed w/ a good M-I-L. She and I are quite different, but somehow we seem to make it work. She loves my kids, and somehow that spills over to me. Lucky me.
There were ...
Recently, I almost made one of the biggest blunders of my life. I almost let someone — a man! — look in my purse. Trust me, he didn't want to look in there.
As little girls, we understood that a purse was more than just something to carry around ...
Just one thing I would like to say, and I hope it doesnt' offend anyone, but if it weren't for MIL, where would our husbands be? Mine is the not best, but after many years of marriage, we have learned to respect each other and I do thank her every...
My MIL is totally nuts. A couple years ago, she got mad at my husband because he wasn't talking to her enough. She wants him around all the time & she wanted him to go to some seizure study at U of M for a week with her. He said no, he has a famil...

How do you define "success"?
A friend recently ran into someone from the past, her sister's high school boyfriend.
"So what's Elena up to anyway?," he asked my friend. "Is she masterminding a start-up now or working on a cure for cancer or AIDS or something?"
"Not quite," she told him. "She got married right after grad school, and is now mommy to 12-year-old twins and living happily in Pleasanton."
"You're kidding me! The class valedictorian, the girl voted most likely to succeed, is a stay-at-home mom in 'burbvil… Continue

When "cute" turns into "annoying"
When my friend Liz was falling in love with Derek, she described him as "perfect."
"He's so smart and handsome and sweet, and he has this cute little snort when he laughs," I remember her telling me, dreamily. "There's really nothing he does that I don't love."
"You love his snorting?" I asked. "That's kind of random, isn't it?"
"No, it's endearing. It's one of his many little quirks that are just so darn cute."
Well, as a woman with a handful of her own quirks, I understand. But after livin… Continue

Are you a mate poacher?
"All the good men are taken!"
How often have we heard a woman say that, or maybe even felt that way ourselves?
Is that true? A recent study says that women must believe that's so, because they're more attracted to attached men than unattached men. It proves that they're able to commit; we like that!

We're all a little like Mary Poppins that way
Recently, I almost made one of the biggest blunders of my life. I almost let someone — a man! — look in my purse. Trust me, he didn't want to look in there.
As little girls, we understood that a purse was more than just something to carry around a few things; it was magic! Whatever we needed, our mothers would reach into their handbags and -- there it was, like she was Mary Poppins. Band-Aid? Yep. Tissues? Yep. Candy? Yep. Who wouldn't want that kind of power?
But it's not… Continue

- Do you have a Twitter account? What do you tweet about?
I tweet about my fight with breast cancer and becoming a mom for the first time. I have been trying to find more people to follow me so that I can spread awareness:
