This past weekend I spent some much-needed time visiting my boyfriend James. The weather was beautiful (70 and sunny with a perfect breeze), so we decided to make a trip to the…

About a year and a half ago, I started to become a little more crazy about shopping for deals. I started shopping around online more than I ever did before and slowly turned into the slightly deal crazed maniac that I am today. While I’m not a crazy coupon mom (yet), I do shop around for the best price on pretty much everythingthat we buy, which basically explains the fact that we have memberships to Costco AND Sam’s Club (I’m price comparing until our memberships run out to…

Last time I checked, it was still summer. Yet for some reason I’m being bombarded with commercials, e-mails and advertisements for everything related to fall- including back-to-school shopping. Usually these types of things would get me excited for the upcoming year, but now that my years of schooling are over, all they do is make me sad.

A couple nights ago, I had an odd dream. And like any odd dream, I immediately took it to Roo to discuss, analyze, and interpret. There’s a vein of superstition that runs through my family, mostly coming from my mom, and sometimes I fall into its spell despite my innate skepticism. Dreams are one of those areas. I rarely remember my dreams, so when I do I feel like they’re somehow important. Anyway, this particular dream was bugging me because it was incredibly clear, logical, and memorable,…

There’s something inherently unnatural about online dating. We all know this, and it’s part of the reason why we approach it with more than a whiff of skepticism. It’s the reason why eHarmony, Match, and others must constantly advertise in an effort to convince us that this weird process actually works. It’s why when a group of women discusses the various sites they’re on (because it’s usually more than one), someone always has to explain that so-and-so met her guy on OkCupid or Plenty of…

As you will all soon learn, I am obsessed with humorous facial hair. Not in a, like, I-am-attracted-to-men-with-beards-and/or-handle-bar-mustaches way, because I’m really, really not. But when used correctly, adding some facial hair can make pretty much anything like, 90 times more hilarious and fun.

Examples:

1. While coffee-drinking is a lovely activity even when done in a…

I was reading a friend’s blog the other day and she (via a book she’s reading) compared dating to finding the perfect pair of jeans. You know the ones: they fit your curves like a glove, look good in any situation, don’t ride up or gap, and they’re worn in all the right places. I immediately thought about this pair of jeans in my closet that I refuse to give up, even though I’ve basically…

“Would you tell me what the hell is that?”

“A dress.”

“Says who?”

“Calvin Klein.”

Yes ladies and gentleman, I am breaking my “no buying handbags until Hollywood calls” rule! I put myself on restriction from buying hand bags? Why? Well, there’s a number of reasons. This first is that it’s

been WAY too long. Seriously, I haven’t bought an actual new purse in

OVER a year. That’s ridiculous… who does that?! Anyway, the next reason

is that the Nine West purse I am using now is too small. It’s about

12”x6”, but I need more space! I carry way too much with me…
