latchkey kid I was a latchkey kid growing up. My mom was working and going to school. So I was home alone for at least an hour or two in the afternoon. And I loved it. Almost immediately after school I would head to the neighborhood convenience store. I'd buy candy and snack cakes, then eagerly head home to watch afternoon cartoons. I had a routine....

America's Team. Really? When I was growing up Baltimore didn't have a football team. Most would assume that I would look down the road to DC for a team to cheer for, but no. I looked all over the league and decided to become a Cowboys fan. (I was 12 and thought Troy Aikman was cute.) I dropped my Dallas Star for a Baltimore Raven in '96. But there's still a soft...

The Art of Bridal War Sun Tzu says: Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected. The Wannabe Bride says: Engage him in conversations about marriage when he least expects it. Boyfriend: Honey? Can you get me some toilet paper? You: Sure, if you give me a ring. Sun Tzu says: Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not...

I had a stroller to cart her around in and we even had matching rain slickers. It was fun for...

It’s finally hit me that I’m not twenty something anymore. It took awhile but I’ve come to realize that I’m 30.

Twenty something me struggled a lot. She was consumed with her identity. Who am I? What am I about? I’d reinvent myself so many times I was starting to lose myself rather than find me.

Now that I’m 30 I found that I’m nicer. I’ve decided to rant less and be more accepting. Cause in 10 years, even 5, none of it’s going to matter. 30 me has decided to be more about others. Focus on my family and friends. Those are the things that are really important.

Maybe 30 year old me will also drink less…

…nah…now that’s going a little too far.
