So last week, I was feeling kind of cynical about marriage, well, at least Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’. OK, maybe marriage in general. But, maybe we’re going about marriage all wrong; maybe...
“This is disgusting!” Sara said as she shoved a People magazine in front of me. “So then why do you keep reading that stupid magazine?” “Not the magazine; I love People! I mean, the wedding.” “You...
I was at a Labor Day barbecue, so of course it made sense to talk about work. But a lot of the conversation was about not working. Two more friends have lost their jobs — Dan and Michael. I feel...
As Sara and I browsed the Union Street boutiques searching for the perfect Little Black Dress for her niece’s wedding in a few weeks, we couldn’t help but overhear two attractive 30-something...
Sara had been filling me in on who’s who as we made the rounds at her co-worker’s barbecue when at some point I realized I’d lost her. Not physically, but her attention. And as far as I could tell,...
When I saw that my friend Dan had changed his Facebook status to “in a relationship,” I just had to give him a call. But first, I clicked on the profile of the gal he was in a relationship with....
“You won’t believe who I ran into the other day,” Sara said as we stood in line to board the ferry to the Giants game. “I hope someone worth running into, like Lincecum or whatever actor’s filming...
“I have the perfect vacation for us!” Sara said as she burst into my front door before we took a (cold!) ride over Mount Tam. “Oh really? The last ‘perfect’ vacation you had for us I was left alone...
Mia, Sara and I walked out of “Friends With Benefits” and headed straight to the nearest bar. A movie like that will do that to a gal. Not that there was anything earth-shattering in the movie with...
It was pure coincidence that Sean and I ran into Sara and Todd, her OKcupid date, in line to for the movies. After, we went out for drinks and we got to know him better. I liked him. He, evidently,...
I was at a party a few weeks after I’d given birth to The Kid, happy not to be slave to the stretchy, flowing maternity clothes I had worn for months but not quite ready to fit back into my babe...
It’s been so hot around here that when Sean and I were out for some pre-Fourth of July festivities, I couldn’t help but notice how skimpily many women were dressed. Most had no business being...
I waited until after noon on Saturday to text Sara; Friday was her third date with the OkCupid cutie she was sweet on, and so the first night she figured they’d be sleeping together. “??!!??” I...
Our kids were with their dads yesterday, but as Sara and I hiked up Mt. Tam and then had a post-hike iced tea downtown we were surrounded by young couples and their adorable but mostly boisterous...
Sean and I were snuggled under the covers, the blissful few moments of naked skin on naked skin before we had to get up and start our day. Despite the cozy scene, my mind was a mess; I kept...
Sara, Mia and I were enjoying post-hike lattes at Cibo when Mia checked to see what had beeped on her phone. “Oh for goodness sake!” “What?” Sara and I asked simultaneously. “Look for yourselves,”...
Sara looked annoyed when we met early for a hike yesterday morning. “What’s with you Ms. Sour Pus? I believe I’m the one who got out of bed that had a lovely naked man in it so we can hike.” “The...
My friend Patty, a 61-year-old divorcee, has a dilemma — a younger person is lusting after her. Younger meaning 52. OK, it’s a dilemma many of us middle-aged divorcees might kill for, but she’s...
There was an emergency gals conclave last weekend; Rex had been calling and texting Mia, sending her flowers and all-round courting her. He clearly wants her back, and she was flattered — and...
As I was enjoying The Kid’s Mother’s Day breakfast-in-bed he whipped up for me — well, more like lunch-in-bed considering how late he gets up — I suddenly thought how tough the day was going to be...
Back when I was actively dating, I had a date with a guy who looked good “on paper” (on the Internet in reality, but whatever) — attractive, intelligent if somewhat self-absorbed description of...
A cute 30ish couple in the early stages of romance were sitting next to Sean and me at the sushi bar last weekend. As their appetizer plates were being cleared away, the guy excused himself to go...
This should probably go in the What Would Kat Do category, but since that page doesn’t allow comments (as if!), I decided to post it here. A fan (and I still have problems with that; shall we just...
Sara, her new beau, and Sean and I had gone out to Rancho Nicasio to hear some music, eat and dance. At one point I caught Sara watching Sean and me in a slow dance out of the corner of my eye....
“So, do you think she’ll say it?” Sara said to me as we sipped our iced teas after a long ride out to West Marin. It was a typical Sara out-of-the-blue comment. “She who, say what?” “Kate! That...
“Do you believe in unconditional love?” Sara asked me as we sat in her hot tub the other night, a welcome respite in between the storms. “Sure, for my kid.” “But, what about for Sean, or Rob? Can...
“I’m sad,” Mia said as we sat on her couch sipping some zin. “Of course you are; you just went through a horrible breakup. It’s going to take time.” “I know. It’s only been a month. But …” “Mia, no...
Sara and I sat happily in our own little worlds at a table at the Depot, two cups of coffee and two wide-open newspapers between us — the adult version of parallel playing — when our shared...
Sean and I had gone to one of those chichi galas — a rarity for us, but it was for a good cause. We were surrounded by Beautiful People. “Wow”, Sean said to me as one busty gal after another walked...
Sean and I went out to dinner at D’Angelo’s on Friday night and as we walked in, I saw Sara sitting with a guy at the bar. I thought she was maybe giving Yoga Man another try, but when we walked up...
