The Hospital fundraiser was everything Joel hoped it would be and more. There was networking, and socializing and I was his perfect accessory; elegant, intelligent, and able to entertain myself. The whole night I felt outside myself. Who was this person? How had I spent so many years believing this … [Read more...]
After.

The Dream.
That night I had a dream. I am sitting in a wooded area on a bench, hidden from view, watching all of the people stroll by. I am there alone but am content to soak up the sun and just observe.

Making Salt-n-Pepa Proud
I hate pregnant sex. Always have, always will.Sure, I've heard the stories of women whose libidos increase with the size of their gestating bellies, but the pendulum swings in the opposite direction for me.
