Frequently, I find myself wondering how life was conducted before there were smartphones. This is particularly troubling as I was alive at a time when they did not exist. I didn’t have a cell phone to myself before college. Prior to that, I shared one with my dad and sister for emergencies only. Before that, [...]
Dear Doctor of Adele: First off, let me congratulate you, esteemed Doctor, on being the professional privy to one of the world’s most beloved performers in the past one hundred years. What an honor, you must be so secretly proud. How I have come by this information is of no matter. There is an issue [...]
There are a lot of misconceptions about lesbian relationships. I know that some people think that we sit around talking about our feelings and bonding over our periods and drinking cosmopolitans while painting each other’s fingernails and making our way through every Sandra Bullock movie ever made, but it’s not like that at all. For one [...]
I don’t always let my freak flag fly. There are times when I edit what I say aloud as not to offend. I remember what happened to Barbara Eden in Harper Valley. For that reason, I have never called anyone on the PTA a pussy. I can be dressed up and taken out in public. [...]
There are fundamental differences between men and women. Some are obvious, like having a penis or a lack thereof, while others are subtler. But there are definite nuances that separate the people of Venus from the people of Mars. Here are a few signs that you might be a man:
My Dearest Kyra, Valentine’s Day might be an over-commercialized excuse for companies to shove jewelry, sappy cards, 2-for-the-price-of-1 dinners, and stupid stuffed animals holding “I *heart* U” pillows down our throats. Don’t get me wrong; I love love and the idea of celebrating it, but the marketing sometimes leaves me bit jaded about the holiday [...]

Valentine’s Day is to love what New Year’s Eve is to partying. Only without Dick. Clark, that is. Dick Clark. For everyone’s favorite octogenarian has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day. Which is probably a good thing. You know, since the last thing you’d wanna hear on Valentine’s Day is the documentation of a descending [...]
Valentine’s Day is coming up and for those of you who have a Valentine, there’s only one breakfast that will guarantee you both will be taking a sick day. And by sick day, I mean an *ahem* “sick” day. This basis of recipe comes courtesy of a certain red and white checked cookbook. And, because I’m [...]
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and there are tons of adorable, glitter-y, do-it-yourself Valentine tutorials making the rounds on the internets. I’m all for handmade but I know that a LOT of us just don’t have the kind of time to cut out doilies and get glitter all over the damn place. So, [...]
There are many things that I, as a wife, despise doing. Oh, not that, you perverts. That’s actually rather fun and counts as exercise–so it’s basically like hitting the jackpot. I’m talking about far more dastardly deeds than just doing The Deed. I’m talking about dreadful, heinous acts that I perform for my husband. Things [...]
Everyone knows someone–heck, you could be that someone–who thinks that the family pet is actually the family baby. It’s not just childless couples, either. I know one family with four kids–a daughter and three cats. I gotta admit, I think they’re kinda weird. Trying to get all the cats into a family photo is fun [...]
I can’t carry a tune in a bucket. I lip-sync “Happy Birthday.” There is no music in me. Not even a flute at band camp. So when my husband and I were meeting friends at a winery near our home a few weeks ago and they were seated in front of the small stage where [...]
