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...

Not the Mama! It's not that I'm anti-baby. I'm just anti-me-having-a-baby. I remember when I was younger I would play with my cabbage patch doll Kristie Mae or Kelly Ann or whatever the heck her name was. I would dress her up in little outfits and do her hair. I had a stroller to cart her around in and we even had matching rain slickers. It was fun for...

Viagra Penguin I LOVE Penguins. Penguins were my sorority mascot. Since graduation, 6 years ago, I haven't participated in any sorority stuff. But I still love penguins. They're so cute and adorable. How could you not love them? Anyone who knows me, knows my fascination with everything penguin. There is at lease 1 penguin in every room of our...

My husband is filing for divorce.

Ok, so not really, but he’s tempted. Why? Because I cheered for The Situation on Dancing With The Stars. Not sure if it’s more so because I was watching Dancing With The Stars or if it’s because I actually know who The Situation is. But either way he’s embarrassed to know me.

Prior to my husband and I shacking up I didn’t have cable. I barely watched TV. I played my guitar. I painted. I actually left the house. Since getting cable my social life is now dictated by the TV guide. I thought that by getting DVR my television watching would wane, but no. It’s only freed me to watch even more.

I think I might be addicted. I’m hooked on reality tv. I don’t think I’m alone. I know I’m not alone. But what to do? Do I dare give up my Top Model and Real Housewives? And do I do it now when all the shows are coming back from break? Ugh!

I know I’m an addict. Just don’t know if I’m ready to give up my drug.
