I am an excellent planner. I even add in a dash of relentless worry for free. So, you know I’m good. Apparently, what I’m not good at is making the plan actually result in something positive. Problematic. I decided that if I just had half an hour extra every morning, many of my problems would
I may have just heard the following response to a cell phone conversation in the parking lot: Man (yelling): “Because I don’t want my wife to know I’m f**king you, alright!!!!” He’s a keeper. Kate I was tempted to run him over, but he was walking a dog, and I was afraid the dog

I’m on a quest to find a dress for my friend L’s wedding. The wedding is Saturday. I may be in trouble. It’s not that I procrastinated. I’ve gone shopping. However, in the back of my mind I felt secure in the knowledge that I had the perfect fallback option already in my closet. It’s
It was one of those late night conversations—you know the ones that start in the haze sometime after midnight, but before actual sleep. We were comfortable, talking close in hushed tones at the end of a long week. I remember snuggling in closer, his arms going tighter around me, as the night grew quieter and
