Questions I Wish People Would Stop Asking Me
Now that I’m in my 30s and have been in a relationship for nearly 5 years people I barely know will sometimes just come out and ask one or both of the following:
When will you get engaged/married?
When will you have children?
I wouldn’t think I’d need to remind anyone of the fact that these are incredibly personal questions but, well, I was wrong.

Guys, I think I'm Nagging My Boyfriend Too Much
Greg [sleeping but rolls over rather suddenly last night]: Okay, okay, I'll do it.
Me [looking over from my computer]: Huh?
Greg [pops one eye open and says groggily]: Oh I thought you were giving me a bunch of chores to do.
Me: That's what you're dreaming about?

Me: Well that's not good.

“If we were in a dutch oven war, you’d win.”
– So I said this to a co-worker today.

On Feeling Thankful in a Drug Store Aisle
Every now and again I see something that overwhelms me with emotion. Today this happened while I was perusing a drug store’s shelves for toilet paper, moisturizer, toothpaste—items that never awaken any feelings whatsoever.
I was all set to check out when the card aisle, now teeming with various shades of red and pink, reminded me that I should send Valentine’s Day cards to my...
