My life on the rocks.
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...

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...

While watching Top Chef Desserts, in reference to Chef Seth:
ME: Maybe he has Ritalin…after some thinking…No not Ritalin. What’s it called? AC…AC…
JAY: Yes, hon. It’s called ACDC. A terrible disease. It shakes you all night long.
ME: Laughing…I meant ADD.

I find myself very fortunate to live in the heart of Baltimore City. I am in walking distance of great museums, attractions, and restaurants. (Not that I ever go to these places.) This also means that I am within walking distance of Mt. Vernon, home of Gay Pride.
I love Pride weekend. It’s like my typical Saturday night on steroids. I’m surrounded by my favorite gays drinking fabulous drinks while eating food typically limited to the state fair. Plus there are floats.
This year was like every other year. I headed out early Saturday afternoon to meet my friends at our favorite bar. There we sat drinking and passing judgments on all who walked by. Only this year I was introduced to Silly Bandz. Continue Reading

While I’m trying to rebuild my site I’ve been coming up short on post ideas. So I’ve gone back into the archives. Here’s an oldie but goodie from November, 2008.
My boyfriend Jay and I can talk about anything. We can sit and have the most intelligent conversations about money, science, and sports.
Okay, so he does most of the talking and I try to pretend to understand. But for the most part we have interesting conversations. Then there are those few moments where I have to wonder if either of us are smoking something or if there is a gas leak in the apartment. I’ll admit that generally these less than thought provoking conversations are my own doing and I take full responsibility. Continue Reading

So, I’m working on my book proposal and suffering from a case of writers block.
ME: honey I don’t know where to start my book.
JAY: How about the beginning?
ME: Seriously. Do I start from the beginning of us?
JAY: I don’t know.
ME: But you always know.
JAY: Can’t help ya sweetie.
ME: But your like my guru. Your my Mr. Miyagi. Oh my god! Dude, that is so going in my wedding vows!
[Jay rolls his eyes.]
Personally I thought it was rather sweet. I wish I was someone’s Mr. Miyagi. Wait, does that make me Daniel-san?

“I got some sprite and raspberry vodka. I had to buy 151 rum because I felt girly just buying raspberry vodka by itself.”
