Watching the Nancy Meyers flick “It’s Complicated” got me thinking: Wow, Meryl Streep has beautiful skin. It also got me thinking about the notion of a relationship reboot.

This January, I had a bad job interview. I performed the best I could, but they’d kept me in a room, coming in groups of two or three at a time, grilling me on why I wanted and was qualified for an entry-level customer service job for two straight hours. I’ve been employed in some […]
Very few things can be so stressful as a wedding can. The same applies to wedding planning, naturally.

Don’t you hate it when you […]
While I was in NYC, a session with my old shrink told me that I really need to—as much as I hate, hate this expression—“put myself out there” more. “It’s not wrong to want to be in a relationship,” Dr. W reasoned. “It’s unhealthy, however, if you just sit at home all the time and do nothing about […]
“My parents are racist,” my Filipino boyfriend Edward said, sounding defeated. My heart made a sudden jolt and then quieted down in my chest. I knew there was something off about this man.
