Don’t think of this as good-bye.
Well, okay, maybe a little.
Friends, after months of periodically mulling things over, noodling, waffling, and otherwise staring into space for extended periods of time I’ve decided it’s time to end my run here at One-Woman Show. For over two years I’ve shared my tales of juggling life, laundry and love, and blogging [...]

The Exception tagged me to respond to a "4×4" meme. Perfect for a Sunday night — how could I say no?
(Funny coincidence that I did a rather sarcastic "5×5" right about this time last year, too. Maybe they lop off a number each time you get closer to being old?!)
Here goes…
Four places I go over [...]

Well, folks, 2009 is only hours away, but I wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on the past 12 months and to look ahead to a bright new year. Before I started writing this post I could only remember the many resolutions I made last December – and then broke. In fact, none [...]

Overheard across the blogosphere:
Reader 1: What’s Susan up to now with this “30 by 40″ bit?
Reader 2: I think it’s another one of Susan’s blogging gimmicks. You know how she is.
Reader 3: Yeah, I think you’re right, Reader 2. For chrissake the woman ate goat and jumped out of a plane just to increase her page [...]

A few weeks ago I noticed there was some serious bad juju going on around me. One example: a former co-worker suffered a near-fatal heart attack. Forty years-old, a mother of two or three; someone who eats right, works out faithfully and was just commenting to another co-worker how happy and stress-free her life had [...]

In case you haven’t seen or heard the zillions of jewelry, flower, and card commercials, tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I love being a mom… but to be honest, Mother’s Day has traditionally been a bit bittersweet for me. In fact, my first Mother’s Day after my divorce was the hardest holiday to get through in [...]

Hello, dear readers!
Do you remember a witty, charming and intelligent blogger named Susan, who largely disappeared for the month of February, outside of book reviews and confessing to celebrity crushes gone bad?
No? Well, how about just a blogger named Susan?
(If you’ve answered “No” for a second time, please skip to the end. Otherwise, read on.)
Let [...]

Since being divorced and becoming a single mom, I’ve noticed that people sometimes assume things about me — my relationship status, how I spend my time, who I am. I’ve been collecting these tidbits for a while now and thought I’d share them with you. I know some of the people were well-intentioned; I just [...]

Lulu over at Lulu’s Laundry recently admitted to being a nerd — a nerd infatuated with Anderson Cooper, to be more specific — but forgetting the Anderson factor for a moment, Lulu found out by taking this little test that she is a nerd of the Velma variety. Naturally I had to take the test [...]

I’ve been on the dating scene for a few years now and have tried various ways of meeting people: set-ups by friends, speed dating, joining a singles volunteering organization (now defunct), stalking men in Lowe’s, and online dating. I’ve tried various online dating sites in this time: Match, eharmony, Chemistry, SingleParentsMeet, GreatBoyfriends. I’m not here [...]
