My Letter to Fear
Based on interviews with women, these essays about life (and all of its funny, sad and ridiculous aspects) were published in 2014.
Just An Observation
Have you ever noticed that stores tend to put the lingerie department right next to the baby clothes? It’s hard not to take that as a warning.
New Year’s Eve (Again)
Remember this? http://datingandothermyths.com/2007/12/29/new-years-eve/ Still true. I do have higher hopes for this New Year’s Eve… or at least I hope there is less tear gas. That doesn’t seem like a lot to ask, right? Who am I kidding– I’ll bring the mask with me just in case. What’s your best/worst NYE story?

I Am Breaking The Following Rules
I just want you to know that I plan on breaking most of these rules. You’re Too Old To Wear That Women shouldn’t wear baseball caps or apply a fake tan after age 40, respondents said. Miniskirts and leather pants are off the rack at 41, knee-high boots and even conservative tight tops should be
