“Have been seduced by informality of messaging medium into flirting with office scoundrel, but will persevere with resolution to find nice, sensible man.” Bridget Jones. Right. Much like Bridget, I too have been seduced by informality of the messaging medium. Alas, I fret that I will indeed end up doing something colossally stupid with scoundrel
In my research into the mating habits of the average Angeleno, the subject of online dating is consistently broached. While I’m still hoping for miracles in the form of blind dates, I have acknowledged that this option does exist. If I decide to go with a traditional online site (which already sounds like an oxymoron),
Saturday night saw the rise of two anticipated events: Super Moon and pizza/game night. The Super Moon you probably read about, but pizza/game night wasn’t just an “eat pizza while playing games” kind of experience. No! We actually made our own pizzas. Now I can’t cook. Scratch that. I don’t cook often. I find that
Many, many years ago I took a dance class led by a guest teacher. He was quite talented and entertaining, but he definitely taught with a flourish that tended toward grand pronouncements. I made the unfortunate error of wearing a red leotard to class that day. He looked at me and said, “The great Anna
I highly recommend reading the piece Divorce Envy written by Eleanore S. Wells (author of The Spinsterlicious Life) in today’s Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eleanore-s-wells/divorce-envy_b_1467596.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl13%7Csec1_lnk3&pLid=157408). I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had this very conversation with friends. It’s truly remarkable—particularly since the vast majority of the people I know are “never marrieds.” Still the social
Would you ever consider doing a reality show about you and your family? Now keep in mind that non-celeb reality shows in the first season rarely pay big bucks, so your answer can’t hinge on the illusion of wealth because that might not actually happen. I can see myself agreeing to a reality show about
It’s a Monday! No doubt, you are all eagerly skipping into work today. You are filled with anticipation knowing that this week is filled with delightful promise of exciting opportunities and paychecks. Or perhaps, one or two of you have a slightly slower spring in your step and the anticipation is closer to dread than
I was catching up on some internet reading, and I thought I’d share. These are things you may have missed, but clearly your life will not be complete until you read about them. No need to thank me—we can all be mystified, fascinated and entertained together.

There is nothing so consuming as an unrealistic desire. I’m not even sure it matters what it is: unattainable career goals, inappropriate men, getting into a size 2 again…. All of these things have the power to take the concentration off of realistic and necessary activities and put it firmly in dreamland. I have made
How do you know if you are in the midst of an emotional affair (or if your partner is)? How do you define it? I’ve always had male friends and because I’m perpetually everyone’s little sister, I’ve often been a sounding board for them. This has meant everything from listening to them vent about their
