A Cherry Ride
Ron is real. I know, he’s just so dreamy, it’s hard to believe. Happy Ronday! (So, to refresh – Ron and my sister had broken up but now she was suddenly in posession of his cat. Which I had “forced” her to lie to me about ) Ron knew he was on my list –…
A Shout and a Whisper
On Tuesday, I had the honor to participate in “Shout Out! Against Sexual Violence,” an annual event hosted by the Orange County Rape Crisis Center. It was the first time I had ever publicly read something out loud about my childhood molestation, and although I was told my voice remained steady and strong, my right…
Walks on the Beach
True online OKCupid encounter* commences now (I even left in the typos): He: How are you? If you were walking on the beach and saw someone laying there buried in the sand, completely, with only the face barely peeking through, just enough to breathe, would you step on their face or walk around? Lol. (long…
A Tale of Two Kitties
Ron is Real. And someone who puts up with him is called a Ron-duh. My sister was a Ron-duh. Happy Ronday! As you may recall, we last left my sister living on the most dangerous street in the county with no phone and no car, walking to work amidst johns and prostitutes, while Ron was…

High Maintenance
I used to think I was low maintenance. I don’t need expensive gifts, uptown dinners, wear a lot of makeup, spend hours on my hair, and dress in designer outfits that cost more than some small countries spend on food. I considered myself kind of the geeky girl next door. I was kidding myself. “You…
Ron Logic
Ron is real. And that’s just scary. Happy Ronday! Ron had been hard to get a hold of. As readers may recall, he had moved my sister to BFE, and was supposedly staying with friends in town to save on gas. After several attempts to reach him, and several suspicious explanations, my sister was finally…
What Might Have Been
I try not to think about What might have been ‘Cause that was then And we have taken different roads We can’t go back again There’s no use giving in And there’s no way to know What might have been (What Might Have Been, as sung by Little Texas) This song has been going through…
