MY STANCE ON MARRIAGE
I remember the first phone conversation I had with my ex-husband. It lasted all night. He asked me if I had a “wedding book.” “What’s that?” I asked. “It’s what girls keep to plan their dream wedding.” “Ha, I don’t have one of those. I’ve never really thought about that.” Something about that question – the [...]
REALISTIC
“Do you think I’m a pessimist or an optimist?” I asked my boyfriend last night. He paused and answered, “A little of both.” Not the answer I wanted to hear. I was always regarded, or at least self-regarded, as a heart-pounding idealist. A girl who dreams big and believes anything is possible. I felt defensive. “It’s [...]
THE BATHTUB
Sunday morning. I’m trying to create more balance in my life. Trying to be happier, though I shun the word. Shun it because it feels like sticky putty – something you’re stuck in, as fake and brittle as botox. But I’m trying. I sound not unlike a depressed person on the Dr. Oz show. I [...]
HOW ‘BOUT MAKIN’ BABIES?
“Can I go wash your car?” my boyfriend IM’d me from the living room. I was in the next room with the door closed working on an article due Monday. “Who is this?” I jokingly asked. “Where are your keys?” “Thanks honey,” I wrote, “But you don’t have to do that. I can do that [...]
SUNDAY
I’m eating leftovers in a brown glass bowl. It’s tuna salad (sans mayo) with lettuce, avocado, corn, red peppers and tomatoes. My boyfriend is at a Clippers game. I got the tickets at work for him, but I decided not to go. I decided to be alone and eat my tuna salad from yesterday’s lunch with [...]
FINISHING THE BOOK
“I just want to burn it,” I said to my boyfriend in bed last night. “I just want it all to go away.” “I know,” he comforted, “But maybe it will go away if you write it.” I tried to explain to him: “I’ve been writing this book for ten years. Why am I doing [...]
FUCK CORPORATE AMERICA
I do not function in corporate America. You may. That’s great. You may never function working at a bakery or a restaurant and writing and performing theater at night, but I do. I’m not going to continue lying to myself or others. If you don’t like me cause you think I’m less responsible, that’s fine. [...]
“BABY” IS A DIRTY WORD
I have rewritten this post three times. I’m starting over again. I have this feeling that I have never had before. Maybe it’s boredom, stagnancy in my projects…I don’t know. I’ve had friends, many friends, who have had this feeling and I’ve just nodded and assured, “One day, that will come.” Now, I find this [...]
EX-BOYFRIENDS
I just read a past post I wrote about my ex-boyfriend. I really enjoy one ex-boyfriend’s music. Am I allowed to write his name…hmm…well, his name is Jon Protas. He has a song called “Mary” that is pretty remarkable. I put his name and link on my bookmarks bar. My husband (who uses this computer [...]
I ADMIT THAT I CHECK MY EX-BOYFRIEND’S BLOG
There is always one that you still, still care about and they still, still don’t care about you. Yes, the one that I wrote a note like, “Hey, I’m moving to LA, and I just want to wish you the best…blah, blah.” And they never write back, and you check out their blog, hoping to [...]
