In my mind, there are three main reasons that you would really regret your past relationships: 1) Abuse (Physical? Emotional? Both?) 2) Introduction to Drugs/Enablement 3) Financial Abuse I have been a victim of #1 & 3; Considering the crowd I once ran with, I am very lucky to have never partied to the point...

I actually started noticing some body changes about 1 year before I quit dancing. Specifically, less muscle tone. That was due to the lack of stage dancing.....which was due to lack of customers. Business dropped off dramatically around summer 2007, and never really recovered much, in the years after the Great Recession. Several big businesses... Continue Reading →
Ok. Ok. Ok. I've been working on pulling myself out of this hazy, unfocused state of mind (yes, some due to marijuana ingestion, of course) that I've been in for the last six weeks or so. A large part of it was the election, and then post-election anxiety and battling dread. I wish I had... Continue Reading →
Lately I've been having a lot of fun sprucing up my wardrobe, finding unique and colorful prints to add to my closet. Which got me to thinking about the first couple of years after dancing when I only wore black, gray or designs with those two colors. Straight up- I might as well have been... Continue Reading →
Be wary of the girls who immediately want to become BFFs with you. They probably have an ulterior motive that involves either a) robbing you blind b) getting you hooked on the same shit they're hooked on or c) both. Which brings me to my next one: ALWAYS ALWAYS LOCK YOUR SHIT UP. And do... Continue Reading →
Hey girl, One thing I've been turning over and over in my head, is a calculation of selfishness vs. determination. Obviously, the future of my marriage is often on my mind, and one argument you can be sure will rear its ugly head when the can of worms gets opened, is how selfish I am.... Continue Reading →
Hey girl, It's funny how you realize things as you get deeper into your thirties... This past weekend my mother stayed with us, and as always, we were both exhausted by the time she left. She comes in with a whirlwind of bags, and stories and findings....our fridge is immediately filled with strange containers of... Continue Reading →
Hey girl, This morning I'm thinking about people who are going through IVF treatments, and related bullshit to try to conceive. Of course, I must put the disclaimer out there (and if this is news to you, then you must be new here) that I think trying to have a kid period is pure nuts,... Continue Reading →
Hey girl, Someone at work recently turned 30, and she was a bit freaked about leaving her 20s, I believe. In fact, you could see it on her face- she was freaked. I told her not to worry, that your thirties are way better than the twenties. As much fun as I had in my... Continue Reading →
Hey girl, **Disclaimer/Warning** If you're one of these desperate ass people who are trying like crazy to get pregnant, do not read this. *** I will never understand the crazy frantic desperation that some people (mostly women) get caught up in the gotta-have-a-kid-omg-I-have-to-get-pregnant.....and they have faced disappointment after disappointment, miscarriage after miscarriage. Now, I'm not... Continue Reading →
