In Hot Pursuit of Happiness!
Revenge of the Jeans
There I was, at the beginning of the new year, congratulating myself for not having put on a pound. In fact, I was convinced I’d lost a couple. Convinced, I tell you… until this morning. On a Friday, absolutely NOONE can retain me from diving into one of my pairs of jeans. NOONE. I have … Continue reading
“Fatty-fatty 2 by 4”
So… two mornings ago, just as I’m dejectedly preparing myself for another uncomfortably hot day cooped up in an over-sunny office, Mum comes out with the equivalent of “Dude… You’re FAT!” As you might suspect from this statement (made in front of our househelp and my sis,) Mum is not the person you want to … Continue reading
Blame it on The Hormones
“You know when you haven’t had sex for a while and you sort of forget how good it is and you don’t really need it as much?” Izzie asks in Grey’s Anatomy. Cristina glances at her like it’s another piece of the puzzle of Izzie’s personal craziness, and calmly dismisses it. “Yeah –that doesn’t happen to me.” … Continue reading
The Disdainful Eye
According to a new friend, I suffer from the Dangerous Disdainful Eye. It is the Disdainful Eye that is preventing me from seeing the apparently THOUSANDS of suitable men that there are all around me, among whom, she assures me, there is my Baby Daddy. Smiling tightly, I told her that there may be thousands … Continue reading
Musing on a world without Woman
I think men have forgotten (or never learned) what a Privilege it actually is, to have a woman in their lives. Without one, most men would be wandering around in the metal sheets of the buildings they’ve invented and built, looking like rapid unshaven apes –and smelling worse. They would conduct their meetings in bare … Continue reading
Dating In the Future
So, now that it’s standard for girls to open up their bodies to complete strangers, either during one night stands, the proverbial ‘Third Date’, to ‘Friends with Benefits’ and any other way that they want to justify it, I have lately begun to think about what dating might look like in the future. I began … Continue reading
The Virulous Hag
My apologies for taking entire weeks off without notice –very bad form. They have been work-filled, loveless weeks –or else you’d know about it. No, I can’t. Seriously. Seriously? SERIOUSLY you want The Count? Fine. I’ll give you a sample from one of the websites I most recently joined: limorasta: Hi there? What’s your name? … Continue reading
It IS my business
There’s a lot of this going around nowadays: ‘It’s not my business.’; ‘As long as s/he’s happy…’ ; ‘S/he’ll hate me if I say something.’ But the question is answered in the Bible: ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’ Yes indeed. Because ‘Happiness’ certainly isn’t the goal of anything. Happiness is transient, like Peace, and Joy…and … Continue reading
Some of the Top Characters NO ONE should Date
Dating is difficult enough, but I hope that the Singletons out there (male and female) aren’t letting Desire or Desperation rope them into relationships with any of the following characters (more to come.) If you do suspect that you are already involved with them, act fast to save yourself. It may even be a matter … Continue reading
“Painus Exus” –Meet the Species
In December, my ex suddenly came out of the woodwork. At first it was an inquiry as to how I was. I hung up. Next, there was a text inquiring as to how to get a bag of shoes to me, which I had left in his custody. As I so keenly wanted to text … Continue reading
