Newsflash: We all have feminine and masculine tendencies. Naturally, some of us might be more on one side than the other regardless of our gender. Some of us might have an equal balance of both. These traits might be due to our childhoods or because we were born that way. What I'm saying is -- enough already. Sheesh. Still some people automatically …

So I Married A Big Man-Baby
My dear husband will be undergoing surgery next week for carpal tunnel syndrome in his right hand. With all his nonstop fretting and whining you'd think he was getting his entire arm amputated. He throws around words like "recuperate" and "pre-op" and "anesthesia" like I haven't been down this road many times myself. And just because …
Boys Vs. Girls
Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Men say "tomato", women say "get off yer ass and get it yourself." Women say "Did you hear what I just said?" and men say, "Huh?" I suppose the take home message here is apparently men and women are different. I guess. I don't know. Are men and women …
Well, Duh…
Hold onto your beer can hats, guys, because I have something big to tell you. Everything you ever knew about the world and how it works is about to be turned upside down. I hate to be the one to break this to you [sigh] but here goes... Women Prefer Men With Bigger Penises and Beer Makes Men Happier Is …
Confessions of a Crybaby
Last night, my husband found me sitting on the couch watching television in a daze, my eyes red and puffy. "Are you crying?" "No." "Were you crying?" (wipes nose, slips soggy tissue into shirt) "Uh....no, I most certainly was not." (sniff) "Crying."(sniff) (a fat tear slides down my face) "But it's a commercial for car …
A Brief History of Sex (According to Me)
It's hard to pinpoint the exact moment I started to think sex was weird. Maybe it was when we had that first health class in fifth grade and the creepy teacher passed around a maxi pad, urging us to discuss the feelings we had about the opposite sex and our changing bodies. Maybe it was when my best friend …
Born to Be Mildly Reckless While Still Maintaining an Adequate Level of Controlled Boredom
Ah, yes. Spring is here. The weather is warming up, the sun is beaming down. My husband is getting older, his hair grayer (and less hairier). His normal weekend routine of sitting on the couch drinking a beer while watching home improvement shows is becoming boring. This can only mean one thing: Mid-Life Crisis Time! Again. Recently, …
How (Not) to Argue with a Woman
My husband and I will celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary this April. Before we were married, we lived together in a tiny apartment for another two years. That's fourteen years of being 'up in each other's bidnezz' as they say on the streets. Quite a long time to spend being forced to share bathroom sink space and remote control possession. …
All Cold and No Play Makes Dad a Wimp
Like most people, I love this time of year: the apple-picking, the pumpkin-cutting, the leaf-jumping. Oh, and let's not forget the eye-rolling once football season is underway (it's my husband that does the eye-rolling). But other than my undying and bordering on pathetic love for Tom Brady with his ridiculous mullet and chiseled-out-of-marble chin, the …
