Unexpected compliments.
Last week when I was flying to the ball, I was sitting next to an older gentleman, maybe around 60. As we got closer to landing, I pulled out my makeup bag and started primping for my arrival. The man next to me looked over and said, “He’s going to think you look beautiful anyway”.

I’ve had the pleasure to befriend a very happily married man and stand in awe at his relationship. They have such a...
Real life - No strings attached
(K) Emma: The height difference! When we stand next to each other it looks like he’s kidnapping me. (M) Patrice: You always do this. You always find something wrong with everybody who likes you. And I date guys who have real problems. I date guys who steal my credit card and then they tell me it’s my fault because I left it out. You find these perfect guys and then you’re...

I just treated myself to tickets to see my boyfriend, Bill Maher in Santa Barbara!! I can’t just take anyone though. I want no commentary, opinions, or jokes during the show. Full attention must be paid! Maybe I should just go alone…. Haha.
This is serious business.
