I recently ended a relationship with a man I loved…a lot. I know that it was the right decision to break it off with him, but it still hurts. I'm not a serial monogamist and know that I'm not ready to be in another relationship anytime soon. But, I still enjoy dating and going out […]
10 years ago this week, I sat down at my laptop and clicked on WordPress.com. I didn’t think much about my handle and template, as I set up a blog. Within an hour, I wrote my first post about getting asked out by a younger man and pressed publish. The act of blogging was simple. […]
I’m 40. The big 4-0. Some view this milestone as one to be dreaded and feel the need to justify that 40 isn't that old. “Forty is the new thirty,” they say to reassure themselves. Others bemoan reaching this year. "This is middle age! It's all downhill from here!" they exclaim. When I hear […]
Four years ago, this blog didn’t exist. I was in a relationship with Lawyer Boy and thinking that I needed to end things for my own well being. Three years ago, I was blogging regularly and getting the hang of Twitter. I was living with “Buckeyes” Boy, but I began to question his sincerity. Two […]
Today is the third anniversary of my blog. In December of 2008, I was getting over Lawyer Boy, working on my thesis, and battling the side effects of repeated concussions. It seemed like the perfect time to finally write down my crazy dating and steamy sex stories. I blogged anonymously since I had planned to […]
It was a cold and rainy Tuesday in late March. I was lounging on the couch in my Old Navy sweats when my phone vibrated. It was a text from Mr. Exec: Morning. What are your plans for today? Me: A whole lotta nothing! Mr. Exec: That sounds nice. Up for some company? Me: Sure […]
A friend, Lisa, approached me and said the following: A lot of people don't get your blog. Misty: What's not to get? [I nod my head.] Lisa: You don't blog in real time. Me [with a confused expression on my face]: So? Misty: She's a storyteller. Lisa: Well, I get it, which is why I […]
The patterns of late in my relationship with Buckeyes Boy were unhealthy. Somehow we went from dominant and submissive in the bedroom to dominant and submissive outside of the bedroom. I was getting tired of being so deferential to him all the time…of catering to his every need when my basic needs were barely being […]
My game of Chutes and Ladders with Buckeyes Boy continued. There seemed to be a direct correlation between his work schedule, his mood and his health. When he didn’t have a day off all week, he was exhausted, sick and not the nicest guy to be around. We would still talk and have sex, but […]
I went on Match.com for a few weeks last March. Some of my friends in NYC had been using the site, and I thought it would be a fun diversion from Lawyer Boy. If you’ve read my entries about Brooklyn Boy, you know that one match was a bust. Mr. Port Authority is the other […]
