Happy New Year and Thank You!

I started this blog about a year ago.  I named it after myself because some fellow comedians told me that I should have a blog.   I didn’t think to give it any other name other than my own.  It had absolutely no focus whatsoever, I actually felt silly posting anything.  Then while I was […]

Life After Divorce – The Holiday Blues

So this is just a message to all of my regular readers.  I don’t intend on trying to get this published anywhere else but on this blog.  The holidays were never a gray area for me growing up.  My family had its issues, as every family has problems, but Christmas was always a joyous time […]

The Tree of Forbidden Foods

So regular blog readers, this is sort of writing practice for me.  I have just acquired a literary agent and I am working on a memoir.  Not exactly the book I was planning but I am overjoyed by the opportunity.  This wouldn’t go the book, as its subject matter doesn’t pertain to what I am […]

No one likes to talk about it.  But I have heard from a few friends that post-divorce this problem is quite common.  There is some real estate that is downright coveted come holiday time.  And sometimes post-divorce you lose your stake at it.  And that real estate would be getting a seat at the adult […]

Dating in NYC – Potential Girlfriend or just a Piece of Ass?

Divorce – It’s more than just a breakup

One of the most annoying things that I heard repeatedly after I left my husband was the following. “I just broke up with my boyfriend, I know exactly how you feel” I know that my friends who told me that were trying to make me feel better.  They were trying to show empathy and a […]

Dating in New York – Short Term Relationship Song

I know one of the comedians who made this video. I had nothing to do with it, but I wanted to share it because I find it extremely funny and dead on as far as dating in NYC is concerned. This is why I am so cautious about who I let “enter the kingdom” because […]

Dating in NYC: How to self-sabotage a date

Anyway this is meant as self-deprecating humor.  I am after all a comedian.  I am a lousy dater because for my entire adult life I have been a serial monogamist so I really don’t know how to do the date thing.  I talk to much, I reveal too much, and I am too hyper…but I […]

Dating after Divorce: How NOT to use Social Media

I would love to write that post-divorce I handled my online social media profiles with grace, restraint and dignity, but that it would be a total and utter fabrication.  What I did instead was to vomit my personal hell and torment over the internet, and was unapologetic about it.  In some ways I regret it, […]
