A few days ago, I sent out the following tweet which caused quite a stir: I immediately received dozens of replies, which were soon followed by emails and private messages from those who were worried that I was being held prisoner in my own house. And as much as it warmed my heart to know […]
Guest Post: TV Boyfriends
Today, Jen returns with a topic I am all too familiar with: TV boyfriends. Like Jen, I also get invested in the characters of my favorite television shows, and can completely understand how one could become attracted to a character (and not the actor). Do you have any TV boyfriends/girlfriends? I am a complete TV […]
Guest Post: Single Ladies (Don’t Put a Ring on It)?

Guest Post: Baseball & Relationships
When Alycia first contacted me about writing a post comparing baseball to relationships, I thought, ‘Cool! Why not?’ Then I realized that she would be writing about the Yankees. Bleech. I’m not much of a baseball fan, but if I had to choose, I much prefer the Mets over the Yankees. But how is this a […]

Guest Post: Does Facebook Kill High School Reunions? My PoV.
Elyssa has been a loyal reader since my Weddingbee days, and when she showed me her own blog I couldn’t believe how great it was! I did not attend my own 10-year high school reunion for two reasons: (1) I did not like high school and did not need the reminder; and (2) it cost $88/head […]

Enjoy! “A true friend is someone who thinks […]
Danny and Annie
My sister sent me this video along with a note that read, “I know you’re already hormonal, but this is guaranteed to make anyone cry…” And you know what? I totally bawled like a baby watching this video. It reminds me of the first ten minutes of Up, except this is a true-life story as […]
An Emotional Weekend
Friday night. I picked up my phone to troubling news from my mother. “I debated the entire day whether I should tell you this. I don’t want you to worry too much — I know how you get — but I realized that you deserve to know because you’re family. Besides, you might become more […]
