I’m just a small town girl who moved to the big city with big dreams… just to find out, the only way to make it in the big city… is to shake it. And that’s what I do — at the Coyote Ugly. And… scene! With today’s excess time, I found myself rediscovering a kinship [...]

The romantic comedy guide to unemployment
Happy endings are made better by power ballads by Bryan Adams, dancing around a table invigorates the soul, and in any given competition you can make your soul mate fall for you if you remain aloof and uninterested. How strange and yet familiar all those things are. It’s as if I’m looking into a mirror [...]
Life after a road trip
I went, I saw and I drove. Now, I’m back. Gone are my peanut butter and carrot lunches, Goldfish filled snack breaks and endless hours of driving along the Wyoming and South Dakota highways. It was good to be gone but it feels right to be back. I had plenty-o-time to think on the road [...]
Cover Letter and makeover tips from Bridgetta and Cher

My all American carpe diem road trip
Oh Robin Williams how right you were when you spoke to me — through the VCR of course — about opportunity and life and seizing the day. I always wanted an opportunity to throw caution to the wind and seize the moment, but I am horrible at it. My mind always races ahead. Minutes, days, [...]
Lessons in survival: putting off the future to save for today
I did it. I pulled out my IRA. Before anyone goes judging me — for the song choice or pulling out my IRA — let me explain. Ok, judge me openly for DMB. That was just cruel of me to do. But it fit and I stand by that. As for the IRA, let explain. [...]
