There are several random thoughts I had of kitchen supplies or habits and objects from relationships lost. Nothing to do with just cooking either because there’s really only one other than my current man — who holds the gold medal in making my tummy happy. Unless you count Velveeta Shells & Cheese as a meal [...]
Ex-boyfriends. New boyfriends. High school boyfriends. Potential girlfriends. Blog stalkers.
What to do with them.
It doesn’t take a relationship manual to tell me that I prefer they stay at least an arm’s length away from those who I previously held in coitus - you know, like a frenemy. Although I do enjoy scouring the internet for [...]
This year is nice. Yes, nice that I don’t need to complain all over my blog that I don’t have a boyfriend, and that I’m so lonely and the holiday doesn’t mean anything, puke, puke, puke… I like that AB & I have made plans to do our “Valentine” shit together (regardless of how I [...]
The end of the decade is coming. How fucked up is that? TEN FREAKING YEARS have passed. “Since when?” you ask. Since our planet almost self-destructed and we couldn’t tell anyone on Facebook.
Ten years is all relative to whom you’ve fucked or fucked over, but really… 15 years since I left Farmtown Inner-city A-town. Thank [...]
In a weird twist of randomness, I purchased a vintage desk online to eventually refinish into a bedroom vanity (you know, when a second bedroom exists in my life, and I have room for sanding and paint fumes). That in itself is not random (OK, perhaps if you didn’t realize I like vintage furniture it [...]
I caught up with my ex — The Fiance — yesterday. And no, it’s not some big secret that we conversed. AB knows we’re friends.
“What’s new?” he asked, in request of status from our last conversation a couple of months ago.
Everything is JUST as fantastic as the last time we spoke - downtown living [...]
In my early 20s, the family had a condo in a Myrtle Beach Resort. Wow, I look at the place now, and it is a completely different world.
On one of those vacations, I met Vacation Exemption (a boy, duh). He had all those fine qualities that a female craves in her 20s (and subsequently [...]
I spent majority of my weekend in bed with whatever-the-hell-it-is flu thing that has been moving from person to person. This morning, while my fever has recovered, I’m still feeling the bit of aches especially in my neck and middle back. It may or may not have to do with spending 85.3% of my Friday-to-Sunday [...]
A free day.
Friends voices and calls ceased for a night.
A day alone.
With chores and empty thoughts.
Then the laundry is all folded and put away.
And a stupid cloth napkin from the wash reminded you of him.
The day winded down.
And you settled into bed.
The quiet reminded you that his Good Night Call was not coming.
The anger subsided [...]
Received this in my spectacular things-to-do in Cleveland box today (mark your calendars):

Your $35 admission will include:
* A ticket to the 7:30 showing of “He’s Just Not That [...]
In what initially started as a seamlessly happy week, Hump Day arrived, carrying with it two incidents involving my exes and an embarrassing tribute to life as a single person.
First wasn’t that particularly awful, and not all that bothersome to this modern girl. I understand nobody can prevent with whom they are attracted, and I [...]
I am the proud bearer of Long-distance Relationships. Why this seems to plague me since being classified as “single” a few years back, is beyond my understanding. But now I am inherently the woman that seems to not meet a guy that actually lives in Cleveland: SSD lives in Cincinnati — where I made the [...]
Peoples, I gots that tingle with the impermeable smile. The corny smile that I repeat in text, that gets returned. That, “Me, too!” That sappiness that you want to bottle up and savor for eternity, for when the shit (and the butterscotch-morsel cookie) starts to crumble. I am smiling. I am singing while driving to-and-from [...]
That’s too much (sexual) information. Courtesy of Dear Sugar - Weird Sex Statistics (and I’ll work through the quiz with you).
Question 1: How long does the average sex session last (foreplay not included)? Seven, 11 or 18 minutes?
This makes me feel very, very sad. Kind of like the time when I dated a guy that [...]
The gang is embarking on another camping adventure in Boondock, PA today for the remainder of the weekend. While I’m reminded of several camping memories from when I was younger, there is one particular incident from a camping trip two summers ago that still affects me as though it happened yesterday: The SSD Voice Mail.
It [...]
In a relationship I had this past year, there was an (un)expected death in my family. Shock at the tragedy fueled my need to be strong for both myself and my family. Needless to say, I was beyond the shock level when upon relying on a bit more strength from my then-boyfriend, he balked. He [...]
I randomly thought today about another guy that I briefly dated in high school. And believe it, Internets — HE WAS A NICE GUY. I was only in my sophomore year, and I remember him coming to pick me up at my grandmother’s house (he was a year or two above me).
I was in awe [...]
Wow. I was a bit hypocritical yesterday. I say a few days ago that I will welcome and embrace my “single-ness,” then I go and be melodramatic about wanting to be in a relationship.
There Mel goes again: The Walking Contradiction.
What do you want to talk about today? I initially declared September to be National Talk [...]
I’ve had the pleasure of being in love a few times. It is wonderful to be in that moment, even for a more realistic-than-romantic person like myself. That whole beginning, sappy, heart-bursting beginning to a newly-formed relationship. Just bliss and foreverness engraved in your heart. I started to think about my past loves — how [...]
I didn’t go all dramatic or crazy (or both) and destroy the contents of my ex box. As I opened it this weekend (whatever, I was already in a shitty mood), I realized this was not something I wanted to throw away. That being said, I did rid my box of a few less assholes’ [...]
Life, Liberty...
