“THE BIG SHOT-CALLER”
My brother hasn’t spoken to me since the summer when my parents found out about this blog. He accused me of “throwing everyone under the bus.” These were harsh words coming from someone who I took under my wing since he was born and I was an eleven year old big sister. I recently sent […]
“The Unemployed Days of Summer” #60
July 11, 2011
There’s something about living at home with your parents that adds an inordinate amount of weight to a pending job interview. It becomes your everything. Your key to the garden of hope – to the other side – where normal people live – where you can breathe easy and walk around in your underwear – where […]
“Oh NO They Didn’t” #55
June 7, 2011
Despite really wanting to be alone and perhaps enjoying a quiet romantic dinner for one, I not only run into Brian and his brother, but my parents on the way into Tsar’s Palace, the main dining room of the ship. So, out of courtesy, we all dine together. Not only is my father asking Brian […]

March 22, 2011
My father decided he wanted to use his coupons for a Japanese/Chinese fusion buffet in Lake Grove.

My mother said I should stop complaining and open my eyes to specials and spending less. So, […]
“The Man Plan” #32
March 9, 2011
It’s not that I feel good about snatching a Sugar Daddy, it’s that desperate times call for desperate measures (something I’ve been saying a lot lately). It’s that I foresee a mutually beneficial experience: I get out of my parents’ house and on my feet, and the rich older man gets a younger chick with […]
“I’m Too Sexy” #27
March 1, 2011
You wouldn’t think that being 40, unemployed, and forced to live with your nut-job parents would provide any opportunity to feel your innate sexiness… But let me tell you, I am learning a thing or two about how life works and the miraculous surprises around every corner if you are just willing to put down […]
