    Bet you never thought you would hear those words out of me. Trust me, you aren’t the only one. But I managed to find myself in a position where I met a man, and I like him. And it really got me thinking about what I would want if I ever really re-entered the dating…

  • Settling In

    I’ve officially moved in both my personal life and my work life. The last two weeks have been pure chaos, but I am through them, and I really am starting to feel a lot better. It still looks like a bomb went off in my apartment (we don’t have a dumpster or recycling so I’m…
