My heroine is on a date with a perfectly nice man who talks about cat probiotics. Naturally, she canāt stop thinking about the hot stranger she met in a restroom. Hiya, Reader!

In other words, thereās a lot going on around here. Letās start with Romyā¦ Romy, Girlfriend, We Need to Talk Meet...

Hiya Reader, Sometimes life hands you a story gift. Out of the blue. Right there in public. Whatās a gal to do but turn around and tell you all about it? I mean, once I stopped laughing... My Car Has Better Game Than I Do š Hereās the deal. A few weeks ago, I was waiting to turn into the gas station when I noticed a guy staring in my direction. Now, I drive a Very Cute Car, so Iām accustomed to people admiring it. But something about that look told me this gentleman had Something to Say. Sure...

Dear Reader, I ask some version of this question every year: Text: It's June already? Wha...? How did that happen? And every year I get the same answer: Itās a mystery! (Quick: what swoony 1990s movie features that line, spoken by the Bard of Avon? Answer below.) I Love it When a "Plan" Comes Together My May bingo card included celebrating my birthday, a writing retreat cruise to Bermuda, and moving back into my condo post flood renovationāor as I have taken to calling it: my protracted...

Hooray for May, dear Reader! I'm a May baby, so I always look forward to this time of year. Most of the pollen is over. The leaves have filled out. In my neck of the woods (Washington, DC), we're mostly done with truly cold and gloomy weather (though naturally we will soon be bellyaching about the heat, because Humans 'R' Us). My condo's pool will open in another few weeks and this year I'm determined to weave regular visits into my lifestyle. I don't know why, but some years I'm all, "The...

Happy April, dear Reader! What hands down beats two months of sleeping in any bed but my own? SPRING BREAK! Maybe not the spring break of my young adult imagination, where booze, bikinis, and hunky boys reigned supreme, but a solid, lovely two weeks away from the daily grind? Yeah, that suited me down to my pretty blue toes (courtesy of some mani-pedi bonding time with my aunt). I napped. I read. I went to the pool. I ate good food. My dad and I got our binge-watching swerve on, managing to...

Happy (almost) Valentineās Day, Reader! Congratulations on making it through January! If yours went anyting like mine, I fully support splurging on the good chocolate š« this weekendāno justifications required. Flood Town Water in Keely's fruit bowl, water damage on the ceiling, rugs soaked up a LOT of water. And a drink the evening after it all went kablooey. Woe! On the last day of an awesome writing retreat, I received the kind of phone call no home dweller wants to hear: thereās been a...

New Yearās Greetings, Reader! We are 15 days into 2026 and Iāve totally changed up how Iām bingo-ing my way through the yearāand itās making me ridiculously happy. Instead of one big annual bingo card, Iām doing monthly bingos: a mix of things I have to do, get to do, and want to doāaspiration meets inspiration meets deadline-ation. Iāve already decorated six squares with my red felt pen, and if the next few days go as planned, Iāll be heart-marking a big work project, a cool Cathedral light...
