The Daily Beast

Okay, this is a very big deal.
My first story was published on The Daily Beast. I’d love it if you all went over there and read it. And commented too.
If you don’t know what The Daily Beast is, it’s a blog run by Tina Brown who was the editor for The New Yorker and Vanity [...]

Pretty Pretty!

[Private message to Ben: You did not break my blog, and you will find a lady-friend, I promise. You just need to stop looking! And also make a list of every single quality you want in a person, then stop looking.]
Okay, so I’m officially a single mom! Yay me!
We hear about the plight of the [...]

If Crissy Can Do It

Want to know more about my weekend?
