CinderMely: A Drunk and Possibly Slutty Fairytale

Mely Loves Patron

He greeted me with a brown paper bag and a smile. It was the first time we’d come face to face, though we’d talked for a few months online. He lived several states away and despite some flirtation I’d never planned on us actually meeting; that is until he suggested flying into New York City …

The Woman I’ve Become

photo-19

I stepped my high-heeled feet off the bus at Port Authority that morning with butterflies in my stomach; sure of where I needed to go and what time I needed to arrive, but uncertain of where life was going to take me afterwards. I held my purse tightly in one hand and a set of …

Some of you that follow me on Twitter already know that I fell off my fabulously single horse for a few hours today. Luckily, after I fell there were more than several amazing people who rushed to my side, each in their own way, to pick me up, dust me off and lift me back …

There’s Something About Mely

Theres Something About Bacon

What’s a girl to do when she really likes a guy, but is trying desperately not to rock him like a hurricane on dates one through three in an effort to develop a more meaningful relationship? Masturbate of course! I’d heard that it’s not uncommon for a man to rub one out before a first …

Co-Parenting, Or Lack Thereof, Made Me A Better Single Mom

co-parenting communication critical

I’ve doubted myself as a mother countless times in the last two and a half years. Being a single mom is no easy task, especially while co-parenting with someone who, on most days, refuses to co-parent at all.
