Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and...Lady Edith?

Time to check in on those crazy kids at Downton Abbey again.  You got your glass of $9 wine ready? Me too! Let's go.

The End of Courtship

So, this one article has been going around the internet like wildfire. The premise is,  basically, that courtship is dead, and its all of our fault. I am not going to delve too deeply into my thoughts on it. But, reading about all the texting (in lieu of face-to-face or phone call interaction) reminded me of some of the best texts I've ever gotten from men. Which I am now going to transcribe for you.

New Year's Resolutions

It's that time of year, dear readers! In addition to having all of the usual and normal resolutions (lose 40lbs, work out 7 days a week, become hot looking), I have some more...specific resolutions to try and curtail the downward spiral my life has been taking as of late. Here they are:

Holiday Cards

Well, tis the season....of Holiday Cards.  Somehow, Holiday Cards have become either a professional thing, or a couple thing, or a married people with kids/a dog thing.  I guess we can now add Holiday Cards to the list of "Things Only Coupleds" can send out, along with "Save the Dates" and "Baby Announcements." But, never one to let society dictate what I can and cannot do, I've made several cards myself, to celebrate all the important people in my life this year. Also, one of my male friends told me I didn't have enough pictures on my blog to attract a male audience, so I decided to test out his hypothesis.

Single Girl Habits

So, when you're single and you live alone...it's safe to say that you engage in certain habits you might not engage in if you lived with someone.  When single men do weird things in their apartment, we call it, "being a bachelor" or "being a ladies man" or "such a frat boy." But when women engage in these habits, we say, "that is sad" or (as my mother said one mardi gras), "don't do that because nobody likes a drunk girl." THIS IS BLASPHEMOUS AND SEXIST. No more will I lie about what I do at night.  No more will I cower and hide about my habits at home.  Time to take a stand.
