    My friend Duke was going nuts on someone for calling a Tittie Club a "Boobie Bar" as though calling it a "tittie club" is so much more sophisticated, right? Duke, for all his strange male quirks (to include but are not limited to his favorite reading spot) does get me thinking about gender roles.  While Duke actually wasn't interested in going to a local club (he says the girls just look unclean)  if there were a "classier joint" he would probably have gone. I never knew a strip club could ever be classy...   Read more >

    As women, we still must fight a glass ceiling that is apparent almost everywhere (yes, even in the blogosphere). The women who blaze trails must be more than just pretty or adorable. They must have gravitas! Where is that in Palin?  Read more >

    (X-posted on Tough Girl 101) I read many women's blogs all in various types of relationships; some just blossoming, some satisfying, some not, some happily married, some unhappily married, some divorced. It seems that the real difference in the relationship boils down to this; those happy in their relationships feel like they are enhanced by their situation, those unhappy feel like they are losing a part of themselves... and they'll miss what they have lost.  Read more >

    It is quite common knowledge around my circle at college, my work colleagues and others that I am going through a divorce. In the back of my mind, when someone asks me if I am "seeing someone" all I can think of is that I am 21 years old, and divorced... 21 years old and divorced... 21 years old and divorced...  Read more >

About Me: 

I am a woman who was recently divorced and learning to life again.

Since my divorce I've become a 20-something professional blogger. I've been able to afford a much-needed knee surgery (a lateral release) that was causing damage to my knee cap and cartilage which prevented me from my one true love, running. I now have plans to sky dive, rock climb, compete in a marathon and bungee jump as soon as my knee has completely healed, not to mention the fact that I am now supporting myself by doing something I love-blogging.

I would never encourage divorce, but sometimes second chances come down in the strangest of ways, and this was mine and I'm making the most of it.
