There’s something I’ve noticed about a lot of my friends who couple up. Suddenly they enter the “couple zone.” Not all friends. But some friends. What is the couple zone? The couple zone is a zone that only reaches equilibrium when other couples are present. But if a single person enters this zone, it throws off the equilibrium. Couples have a special set of couple friends just for couple activities. They love to plan activities with other couple friends. Like dinners. Game nights. Date nights. And other events that involve even numbers. Continue Reading »
I took a little hiatus from documenting my dating horror stories. Partly because I had a busy summer/fall. I was having a really great time dating someone for two whole months, although I like to count my dating days in dog years, just to make them seem longer. Then I went to Armenia to visit relatives with a brief stopover in Paris. Had a great time. Came back from an amazing trip and shortly after my 2-month relationship came to an abrupt end. I wish I had a good story behind this but I don’t. It was just the classic case of “he’s just not that into you.” But hey, at least I didn’t get dumped on my birthday. Although, interestingly enough we ended things a day after HIS birthday.
A few weeks after my brief romance came to an end I met a vampire. I was out with a group of friends on Halloween, at the undesirable section of LA, past my 5 mile radius and west of La Brea. I had no intention of going out. Between travels, breakups and job interviews, I hadn’t had a chance to think about Halloween. But my friend Liz inspired me to join her crew for a pub crawl and I ended up on the west side, in my zombie ballerina finest, getting my drink on somewhere on Main Street, in Santa Monica.

Last summer I was in love. June 25 marked the beginning of my summer romance. My birth day marked the end. And before I knew it a year had passed. And suddenly, FINALLY, I felt the pain was gone.
To help me move forward, the universe delivered a new memory on that date.
A night of music and magic under the stars. Me, dancing on stage, with my new favorite band.
Thank you universe.

I’m 34 1/2 today. Six months ago today, I was having the most craptastic yet memorable birthday. Today, on my half birthday, I didn’t get dumped, get my heart broken, sprain my foot, or injure any other body parts. I look at this as progress. There’s definitely truth to the saying that time heals wounds. My bruises have healed.
The anger and sadness have been replaced with joy.
My appetite is back.

I’m keeping it simple this year. The last few years I’ve come up with a long list of resolutions. I start in January with a list of 5-7 resolutions, forget about them during the year, and realize (usually in December) that I haven’t accomplished most of them.
This year’s resolutions don’t have anything to do with flirting, dating or limiting my alcohol intake. No resolutions about figuring out what to do with my life (too much pressure). And especially no resolutions about dieting and losing weight. This year’s resolutions are about enjoying life.
This year I will cook more, entertain more and worry less.
And maybe I’ll find the time to learn to swim and study French. But if I don’t, there’s always next year.
Happy New Year!

I was reading the list of the resolutions I made at the beginning of the year and came to realize that my batting average is still about 50% when it comes to resolutions. But then I started to think about all the things I actually experienced this year, which made me feel better about all the resolutions I didn’t keep (specifically numbers 1-5).
So here is a recap of my year, in pictures. Continue Reading »

Someone asked me if 2010 has been a good year or a bad year. Like so many other years, this year has had some great highs and lows. But if I had to choose 3 words to describe my year, I’d pick love, food and wine.
I have experienced a lot more this year than most of my adult life. And the three constants in my life were love, food and wine. I fell in love. I got my heart broken. Shattered actually. But even as I go through the process of healing my heart, I’m starting to see all the good that came out of that experience.
So here it goes. My year in review.
