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.
End of the Road
Remember this blog: http://katedating.blogspot.com/2011/04/1-year.html ? Well, the question posed there might not have been a rhetorical one. I’ve found myself at the end of one particular career path. While I won’t go into details, I began to wonder why I was doing the things I was doing. And while no one loves to complain more
The Rule of the First
We all agree that cheating is bad. It shouldn’t be done. It should be avoided at all costs. You never want to be the other woman (unless you were one of my friends in college who thought that a guy cheating with you meant you were special because he was risking something). And so on.
No Strings Attached
Kelly at HLN sent this video clip over from Dr. Drew (Dr. Drew airs weeknights on HLN at 9pm ET/PT), and I felt like I had to share because it’s long been a topic of debate among my friends and I. http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/apps/cvp/3.0/swf/cnn_416x234_embed.swf?context=embed&videoId=bestoftv/2011/04/06/drew.no.strings.sex.hln If you’ve been reading this blog for more than 20 seconds, you know
Blind Date
I have agreed… wait for it… to be set up on a blind date… sort of. I know. My life is all topsy-turvy and unexpected these days. Black is white. Cats are dogs. Structure and atrophy are swapping places regularly in my mind. As all things do that are good and pure, this idea started
1 Year
Say that some force of nature, or your own insanity, allows you to have one year off from your normal life. In this scenario, there are no kids (probably), an easy mortgage/rent scenario and some money (not a fortune) in the bank. These are your parameters. BUT you cannot continue working at your present job
More on Me
Here is another one of these fun-filled questionnaires for you to ponder, copy, paste, circulate, fondle… whatever works for you. Age or Ages You Would Like To Do Over? 24 or 29. These were both big decision-making years for me. I’d be curious to see what would happen if I had taken a different path—provided,
Worry
Women worry about everything. And if we have a moment when we aren’t worrying about something specific, we are unsettled and worried about our lack of worry. Somebody has to do it. My Ex and I had an ongoing debate about worry. He never saw the point in being worried because he thought it didn’t
NSFW: Thoughts for March 28
As I’m sure the case was for most of you, the weekend was far too short. I’m now faced with a Monday morning with the following thoughts racing through my brain: Why God Why? This is a given. It’s 7:00am on a Monday, and I am already in an office surrounded by work and the
Everything Old Is Me Again
I was enjoying an inner rant this morning, and I remembered this older blog. As many of you are new readers, and possibly haven’t wandered back this far, please enjoy this reposting of “Multitasking.” And yes, I am playing that Berlin song right now. Happy weekend! http://katedating.blogspot.com/2006/08/multitasking.html
Dictionary
The world is in desperate need of a Single to Dating Dictionary—and by “world” I mean “me.” Clearly, I can’t be the one to write it; largely because I don’t understand modern dating language (also, most of the euphemisms used on Californication). But let’s start simply. If you can help me with these three very
