Ever since I published Cool Things of the Decade, I’ve been thinking about the events I chose and the reasons why. I wish I could better articulate why. I mean, why choose losing your virginity over the first time you said, “I love you” and meant it? Maybe I’m not such a romantic sap after […]

Cool Things of the Decade

Like many, it hit me a bit late that this was the end of a decade. Although the Top 10 lists are overdone and even more so for the Decade Lists, I still wanted to document one cool thing for each year. 2000: Named Editor of the Year 2001: Lost my virginity 2002: Became a […]

10 Cool Things of 2009

While end of the year Top Ten lists get obnoxious, it sure is fun to look back on last year’s 10 Cool Things of 2008. I can’t believe it’s been a full year since making that list. But, here it is, ten cool things of 2009 (in date order): I was a bridesmaid with my […]

Marilyn was Wise

I love the infamous quote by Marilyn Monroe: I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. I make a lot of mistakes. And even before 2006, I was out […]
