It’s a scary-small dating world!

May 9th, 2009 · No Comments

I know, it’s been a looong time since I’ve blogged.  Sorry, a huge work project has made it barely possible to date, let alone blog about it.  I did say barely, which means I am sitting on a LOT of crazy stories, most of which happen to fall in the “scary-small world” category.  What happened [...]

Would you go out with me, Ma’am?

March 12th, 2009 · No Comments

Do you recall the first time someone referred to you as ma’am, sir, lady, gentleman, Mr. or Ms. and how it felt?  I remember waiting tables the summer before college and hearing a customer tell her little boy, “Now tell the lady what you want”.  I was 18 and so freaked out that I promptly [...]

Beauty and the Beastly Ego

December 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Mo, Egypt (#3 in my quest for “18 dates around the world“)
