Old Yeller is not a dog lover’s movie

January 23, 2016 / MM / Leave a comment

It is incredibly cliché to use the phrase “must love dogs” in a dating profile, thanks to the awful John Cusack movie. I like Diane Lane though, so I don’t think it is a bad plan to conjure up her image in a dating profile. Also, movie word association would bring up “Unfaithful” and send … Continue reading Old Yeller is not a dog lover’s movie

Bring it on, 2016!

December 27, 2015 / MM / 3 Comments

It’s been real, 2015. Far too real. I prefer my years to be airbrushed and cast in soft lighting.

My date with a Greek god

July 2, 2015 / MM / 2 Comments

I met Todd online during my OKCupid phase. I should have followed my instincts when his profile talked about enjoying swinging an axe to chop wood. It’s a slippery slope from chopping wood to being fed into a woodchipper. (I grew up in Connecticut, and this really happened to a woman here. That shit sticks … Continue reading My date with a Greek god

My children have fur–don’t stare!

May 10, 2015 / MM / 1 Comment

I am not what people call the “motherly” type. I am sure this has something to do with the fact that I am about as friendly as a sea urchin. But to those who really know me, I just don’t do babies. I have five nephews and two nieces, and I can count on one … Continue reading My children have fur–don’t stare!

This may or may not be an actual image of this site's author. But it probably is, because if I were to use a fake photo I'd pick someone thinner and younger, or Michelle Obama.
