    You could literally watch television on one network this summer and have a ridiculous amount of excellent entertainment to see you through. And that network is TNT.  Read more >

    Confession: I hate articles about the lack of female directors and sexism in Hollywood. Not because I'm not a feminist, not because I didn't read Blink like it was a light in the dark, and not because I haven't experienced sexism in Hollywood. But because I know the truth about me -- If I don't make it, it will be my income level that's the root cause, not what's in my pants.  Read more >

    I lost my job last week. I worked there two months, and in that time I learned an absolute ton, discovered I enjoy office managing, and made less than I would have made on unemployment (due to taking some time off for BlogHer and getting sick during what turned out to be my last week of work). So often these days, I feel like everything I say and do is wrong, leads down strange paths and into unexpected pitfalls, but I keep plugging along. All this twisting, turning, and learning, learning, learning has to lead somewhere.  Read more >

    I've been blogging about sex & relationships for as long as I've been blogging, since 2005. Of all the things I'm passionate about, it's my passion for love and my fascination with human relationships that most drives everything I do. In my sex & relationships blogging, I am inspired most by my belief that we benefit in an amazing way from sharing our experiences and thoughts as everyday people - outside of psychologists, and self-help books, and the latest trend article.  Read more >

    Valentine's Day is pretty much a non-starter for me this year. Not because I'm a V-day hater, because I am most assuredly not. And not because I'm single; I've had some very nice single Valentine's Days in the past, both on dates and hanging with friends. Oddly, the reason I'm feeling rather nonplussed about it is because I had an absolutely wonderful Valentine's Day last year with my then boyfriend. Literally, a Valentine's Day my dreams are made of.  Read more >

    I was talking to a friend once about how I was trying to communicate something to my then boyfriend and figure out how we could move forward from it. There was a dynamic in the relationship that wasn't working, so I was talking to him about it, and also considering some reasonable adjustments to my own behavior to change the dynamic.  Read more >

    It's still difficult for me to imagine being in a new relationship. It's not even three months since the break-up, and I'm just beginning to truly look more forward than back. But, I know time marches on and you never know what's going to happen, really, so it's good to be prepared. And I'm ready for some change.  Read more >

    I've never really thought of myself as someone who can't say no. I mean, I rarely feel pressured to do something I don't want to do. But it's only taken 7 days of January 2010 for me to realize that I'm actually learning to say no to myself. Because I need to go out less, and I need to focus. On something. But clearly, not everything.  Read more >

    The end of the year is a great time for lists and advice, and this month I found some great posts in the Sex and Relationships BlogHer Blogs with just that. Soft skin, keeping your relationship hot during the holidays, breaking patterns in your relationship as you move forward into the New Year, and embracing diversions after a breakup. Before I share my favorite cherries from the bowl, I want to thank all the people who post here about sex & relationships for your thoughtful, open, honest writing and for sharing your wisdom and experiences through out the year.  Read more >

    Coming off of a breakup at the end of October, I found myself still limping through recovery when Thanksgiving rolled around. I had a wonderful day, with wonderful friends, but my heart was still healing. But by the time I was reading "Single and Happy During the Holidays" by Sarah Elizabeth Richards on Double X, my holiday happiness and enjoyment were in full swing. The level of contentment I've felt this past week has surprised even me.  Read more >
