When I was growing up, my grandmother always said, “Try it, you might like it.” Well, I took her advice, and am definitely among the minority when it comes to brussel sprouts, lima beans, and liver and onions. When it comes to relationships, I tried to adopt the same mindset. “Try it, you might like
Well, I guess it was only a matter of time before it happened. The ring is finally on my finger… the move-in date is set… even the holidays are planned… And I’m totally freaking out. I was fine. Everything was calm (as calm as my life can be). I’ve been working really long hours lately,
Last week’s “there won’t be a wedding” blog proved to be quite controversial. Judging by the negative feedback, one would have thought I had just offered up my firstborn. (For some reason, visions of Michael Jackson hanging baby “Blanket” over the balcony are stuck in my head… don’t ask me why.) Overall, everyone seemed quite
I’ve officially been engaged for 3 whole weeks. The moving date has been set, but it seems that is not the date anyone cares about. In 21 days, I have probably been asked 100 times, “Have you set a date yet?” And every time I’m asked, I get the same feeling – sadness. Because we’re

It’s three o’clock in the morning and I can’t sleep. I try, because my entire body and brain are totally exhausted, but sleep won’t come. Because I’m engaged… I think. The New Guy proposed to me today. At least I think he did. We had just come back from an amazing weekend to celebrate his
Looking back to exactly one year ago this week, life was sure different. This time last year, I was moving into a brand new apartment, I was deep into my serial dating experiment (“If You Build It, He Will Come”) and I was living my dream career, writing to my heart’s content. I was moving
Continuing on our Pandora’s Box discussion from last week, there is an idiom that is used often in everyday life: “What they don’t know won’t hurt them.” The theory behind this is that if someone won’t be affected by not knowing something, what is the point of saying anything? The problem is, when that statement
In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman on earth. As the story goes, the gods essentially created her by forming her out of earth and water, and gave her many talents, including the gift of curiosity. To make a long story short, Pandora’s Box was a large jar given to her that contained all
