A couple of years ago I wrote an entry titled Kept Women which drew much ire from the Xanga community. I received over 200 comments, the large majority of them from angry feminists who condemned me for even having such thoughts. The Real Housewives of Orange County – true kept women? Now, since becoming unemployed, […]

A couple of days ago I woke up feeling utterly crappy. I didn’t have a fever (yet) but I felt that undeniable sensation of arghh-what-the-heck-is-my-body-up-to-now. As the day progressed a fever developed, and my right cheek was beginning to swell. Not noticeably, but enough that the skin stretched tight and shiny across my cheekbone. Luckily […]

Last year, I found out about the White Castle Valentine’s Day Dinners. Participating White Castles take reservations for this event. You are greeted at the door by a host/hostess dressed to the nines, who will escort you to your tablecloth-covered, candlelit table. (Pictures from Off The Broiler) It was perfect for us!

Time and again, I am reminded that this is how Angela Chase must’ve felt […]

When no amount of concealer will hide the dark circles under your eyes. When your hair refuses to acquiesce to endless styling and products. Lately I’ve been having more of these days, mainly […]

I have been married for a a month and a half now, and realized I’ve never written about how I met my husband. J and I attended the same university. He was quite the ladies’ man in his college years, so he had already established a reputation by the time I entered school. In fact, […]
