And That’s Why I’ll Probably Never Be On A Dating Show
Some of you might recall a post I did on this blog titled “The Woman I’ve Become” in which I described a trip I took to New York City back in March to attend a casting interview for a reality dating show I’d applied for. That day in NYC was an emotional one for …

CinderMely: A Drunk and Possibly Slutty Fairytale
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 …

There’s Something About Mely
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 …

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. For the most part I’ve been the only victim of my ex’s guerrilla co-parenting tactics. The undermining …
