A haircut is a whole lot cheaper than therapy or tattoos or a round-the-world plane ticket.

I, like far too many women in this country and the world, have had a wide variety of experiences involving sexual harassment.

I cried every single day of my life until I was 18 years old. I did not know this was abnormal.

Eighteen hours, even if prepared with reading and art material, snacks, and an upgrade to China Airline’s family couch seating, is still EIGHTEEN HOURS.

Best case scenario? A few hours of activity, then we all fall asleep comfortably. Worst case? Well, let's just say it involves blood splatter on those weird double-paned airplane window.

I wanted to write a book last summer. Then I realized what a terrible goal that was and modified accordingly.

Size, like age and salary and whatever else, is just a number. Pretending numbers don’t measure things isn’t helpful. I’m 38 years old: That isn’t good or bad, but it IS different from being 18 or 50.

Self-care is important. Massages are a good form of self-care. Too bad I keep thinking about what I'm going to make for dinner.

Kirk Cameron in all his Growing Pains glory was the ideal crush. Unthreatening, goofy, good kid with very reasonable weekly conflicts. And a good smile. Always been a sucker for that.

I look tired when I stay up too late. I also look tired if I get eight hours of sleep.

Help.
