You winked, he winked and wrote an e-mail saying "What's up?" So now what do you write? I'll tell you what not to write: "Nothing. What's up with you?
This is a list of the seven things you should avoid or be sure to do in your e-mails.

I dated this great guy in college. Without sounding cliche, he really was a nice and considerate guy. Things were never that serious, but I remember hoping that it would be.
That summer when we dated, he went on a family trip to Las Vegas. (Red light, red light. Who takes a family trip to Vegas? In the summer no less.) I saw…

Inspired by a previous post and motivated by my own need to feel good daily, we created a compliments page. What is this compliments page, you ask? Well, I'll tell you. At the top you'll notice a link titled "Compliments." By navigating here you can chose to receive one (or more) of dozens of accolades whenever you feel.
I'm still working to grow the list of the best compliments a man…

I've never dated a clown. I'm not sure that the pros outweigh the cons, but it sure does make for good blogging.
PROS
CONS
All of your kids birthday parties will be fully staffed.
You'll often wonder where your lipstick went.
He'll make you laugh.
That thing they say about big shoes? Ya. Not true.
After coming home from a hard day at work, he smells like fruit punch and cake.
Night terrors about balloon animals keep him…

In college it was Icehouse. When I was 25 it was Bud Light. Now, my
favorite beer is Blue Moon by Coors. Maybe its because it's brewed just up the road from my house. Maybe its because it has a high calorie count. Or, maybe, its because of its wonderful, sweet goodness and its beautiful cloudy glow.
It could even be because it is considered a…

I'm browsing the blogosphere today looking for ideas and new friends when I found a contest at Just Not Martha titled "
Pamper Me" and I got to thinking...
I'm so darn lucky that all my money and time goes to me. I better enjoy this before I'm up to my eyeballs in diapers and boogers. (I'm not saying that's even remotely close in…

Hate is a strong word. But when being dumped it feels like he hates me. And frankly, after the dumping is finished, I often hate him. I've been broken up with more times than I'd like to remember and each break-up was heart-wrenching and traumatizing. The good news is that each time I learned more about myself and more importantly I now have a lot of material to write about.

This morning my boyfriend asked me how much I loved him. I responded with "lots." Because I do. I love him lots. Apparently this wasn't enough so he asked for an analogy on how much I loved him.
Fast forward about six hours.
I've had two cups of coffee, three glasses of water, some orange juice and had been sitting at my computer for an unknown period of time. My legs shook…
