Oh, how time flies. Exactly one year ago I was heading out of town for my yearly two-week work trip. This time last year I was just a few months into my relationship with The New Guy, and I was really worried about us being apart for so long after seeing each other incessantly for
I have a news flash for you; it’s OK to look forward to some time away from the one you love. In fact it’s honest, even downright healthy to do so. I have another news flash for you; what you’re NOT supposed to be is downright giddy with joy and anticipation at the prospect of
When I moved 60 miles away, I knew my life as I knew it would change drastically. Never mind the fact that I can’t seem to find the bank when it’s right on the corner of my street, or that I can’t get used to my new nosy neighbors and a strip mall on every
You are completely and utterly wrong … I think. I had this girlfriend once, and I mean she was a girl who was really just a friend. She worked for me. She was (and still is, I presume) 12 years younger than me, but she was as smart and funny and cute as any woman
When it comes to relationships, there have been all kinds of famous and not-so-famous sayings with regards to “how you know” if someone is right for you. Meet his family… If he’s good to his mother, then he’s the guy for you. Okay, so I’ve met TNG’s family. I definitely know he’s good to his

The last time I received a call from the sins of my past, I answered – sort of. No, I didn’t have sex with her… I didn’t even see her. In fact, I didn’t even directly speak to her. We typed. We flirted with our keyboards. We exchanged flowery text messages and e-mails that danced
It’s been a few weeks since I moved in with TNG, and I hope I can say the worst is behind us. We’ve argued, I’ve cried, he’s hid, I’ve packed a bag (and then put it away), we’ve argued some more, I’ve cried some more… and now we finally seem to be getting into a
B-O-R-I-N-G. I’m happy for you… I really am. As close friend, writing partner and one of your biggest fans, true happiness is all I’ve ever wanted for you. Maybe you’ve (finally) found it. Maybe baking banana bread while folding laundry and debating the merits of shampooing the living room carpet is a hidden nirvana for
