If I could do one thing without consequence or alteration to my current life, I would fall in love again. The rush and flush of it, the build up and the stomach dropping moments. The instant his hands caress your face, a cold nose right before a warm kiss, the day you realize you’re in…
My favorite time of day is sunset. I love sunrise too, but sunset speaks to me. It calms me and right before the day fades away, I reflect. Of course it’s always welcome after a bad day, but every sunset, after every hard fought day, brings reflection. We are driving to spend Thanksgiving with…
I love you, but I’ll leave you. I don’t want you, but I need you… Colder weather…dark early mornings, sweaters, holidays, the fireplace, socks and family. That’s what I look forward to every year. This song is painfully beautiful and for some expensive therapy reason it reminds me that my father never showed up to…
Being married is often like exercise. It can be invigorating, life affirming and so worth it, but sometimes it’s just a sweaty, I have to shower again, and my body feels like it’s dying, pain in the ass. Michael’s a great guy and I’m glad I’m married to him, but there are times I…

A laundry mat is really not the place to make life decisions, but sometimes they work out. When Michael and I first started living together we rented this one and a half room place with concrete floors, before they were trendy, and a living room that barely had enough room for a futon (wow, remember…
Come pick me up, take me out, f#@k me up, steal my records… Ryan Adams is fantastic, although every time I see him perform I want to brush the bangs off his face. He has exquisite eyes, so maybe the hair is his secret. It’s Saturday, my house is quite, I just had Chicken Tandoori…
