Not that we call it Father&#8217;s Day in my house. I&#8217;ve never called my dad &#8220;father&#8221; or even &#8220;dad.&#8221; To outsiders, it is weird that I call my dad &#8220;Frog.&#8221; My family has [...]]]></description>

But a girl can only plug her nose so long before her mouth opens to gulp big wafts of Woodstock perfume (I use [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I did not go to prom for my 30th birthday. By luck, or probably fate, my May birthday coincides with the biggest dress-up day of the year for high schoolers. So logically &#8212; and partially out of protest for no such similar day for &#8220;adults&#8221; &#8212; I have made a tradition of sneaking into various [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was not 10 steps into the Broomfield 24 Hour Fitness when I pivoted and walked back out. I didn’t even make it to the locker room. There was no way I was sweating here, in sweatpants and an old tank top. This was not a gym. This was a nightclub. As if the booming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard on the radio this morning that the average woman spends 40 minutes every day doing her hair. Over a lifetime, that&#8217;s two years of combing, blow drying, gelling, curling and ratting &#8212; usually with the goal to look effortless. I&#8217;d like to think I am helping lower that number. For the first 10 [...]]]></description>

It was yet another in a long list of damaging blows from socks to me. First, the history. I have a hate-hate relationship with socks. This war was first waged during a kickboxing class in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This fashion tale begins with death. The living dead, to be exact. I was week four into recovery from an abdominal surgery, and had only recently began walking again. (Read: Hobbling like a rickety swamp creature.) That afternoon, Women&#8217;s Magazine stylist Angel Garcia asked me if I had time to pose of a fashion photo [...]]]></description>

So obviously, with it being St. Patrick&#8217;s Day Week Month &#8212; yes, that&#8217;s how we Irish celebrate it (I am 0.004 percent Irish [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am wearing Lisa&#8217;s black rocker jeans. I borrowed them this weekend, which means I claim stake on them for at least another two weeks. It&#8217;s OK. Lisa has my white fur jacket, so we&#8217;re even. And anyway, Molly has my jeans. It&#8217;s amusing to watch the circulation of clothing among siblings and close friends [...]]]></description>
