Narcissistic Personality Disorder: People with this condition are frequently described as arrogant, self-centered, manipulative, and demanding. They may also concentrate on grandiose fantasies (e.g. their own success, beauty, brilliance) and may be convinced that they deserve special treatment. This past weekend I went to visit with a friend of mine who had not met my former husband. […]
About a year ago, I wrote a story about a date in the sweltering heat that went awry at the end. Let’s call this dater, Joe. After our date and telling me he wasn’t attracted to me once we met, Joe texted me out of the blue. It had been a few months and I […]
Shopping and pizza by myself! Thanks to my big who is caring for my kid while camp us out for the week.
There is always that one guy in your journey of online dating that turns out completely different than you expect. When I met him on the latest site I tried, conversation flowed like water.

Even after I showed her […]

My dearest daughter, I am writing you again just after another coward felt emboldened to take the lives of innocent concert goers. I could care less who did it because in the end, this person is a coward and does not deserve to be remembered. It hurts me to know a mommy like me […]
It was a typical Saturday morning. I was running with O to Target to buy yet another birthday present for one of her friends. Target is my shop of choice for birthday gifts. Walking into the store, I saw him and his smile met mine. It’s unusual for me to even notice anyone in […]
Dating over 40 is an interesting mine field I don’t think I was prepared to deal with. I am now attracting men younger than myself on a consistent basis.
