HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE!
See you in the [...]

I’ve been an avid reader and subscriber to this blog for months. One of the reasons I like it is because the entries are honest and thought provoking, but another reason is because the content is so drastically different than what I normally write.

Happy holidays!

I posted this on my blog a few days ago– but it seemed too perfect in scope not to post here, too!

Today we have a reader’s question from Haley Fay. She emailed this to me earlier this morning and wants to hear how other twentysomething ladies would answer. Leave your response in the comments.

I have three of them. They are awesome girls and I enjoy living with them. But no matter how much you like your roommates, there are always those dreaded issues.
Cleaning - This is hard when you have four people living in an apartment who all have cleaning on very different places on their list of [...]

This weekend was my office Christmas party. As we sat at the end of a long table filled with co-workers and spouses, a co-worker of mine came to speak to us. To put it into context, he and I have known each other very casually for several years, but have gotten to know one another [...]

Let’s reschedule for Friday. See you then… say…. 11am? Great.

I’m not too sure when I became the resident expert on cohabitation.
It could be that, seven months into living in a new apartment with my guy, I am still deliciously giddy about the notion of waking up to him every morning, and he still finds me bearable and perhaps a little cute, despite my tendency [...]
