Yet another one of my bad dates

Yet another one of my bad dates

I’ve been somewhat uncharacteristically serious as of late, so I thought now would be a good time to interject some humor. Last year, in the midst of moving, I thought it would be a good time to try online dating yet again. Amongst the responders was a gentleman I’ll refer to as Olive Garden, henceforth […]

In which I become paralyzed (figuratively, not literally)

Do y’all remember Preston? The guy with the suicidal dog? The guy I was with when the cops got called on our date because of the previously mentioned suicidal dog? Well, guess who got in touch with me a few months ago? You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out, […]

“I think you make mistakes, especially in your twenties, where you date guys you wouldn’t even be friends with – ever.” ~ Rashida Jones

October 11, 2013

Spring, 2005 when I was separated but not legally divorced and still living with Dipshit I was doing the duck/squat walk between cars in a Target parking lot, whispering into the phone with Kony. “Yes, I’m sure it’s him,” I hissed into the phone, raising myself up to look over the hood of a car […]

“Brains are like hearts…

… they go where they are appreciated." ~ Robert McNamara This ones for you, Carbs. Recently, in a discussion with a new group of friends, the question was asked, "How do you mend a broken heart?" Cue crickets chirping here. After a few moments, Veli haltingly supplied an answer. "Well, you just…. just wait for […]

Takin’ out the trash

July 31, 2012

So much I want to share, so little to say. So it's a random information day! At some point, that sounded good in my head. I was taking the trash out the other night when I spotted movement. My eyesight has never been all that great (I once tried petting my purse, thinking it was […]

“What’s playing at the Roxy? I’ll tell you what’s playing at the Roxy….

Nathan Detroit (Frank Sinatra) Guys and Dolls I love Sinatra. I love Guys and Dolls. Hence the reason for today's quote. Well that and it's […]

I’m the rule, not the exception ~ Mo

May 8, 2012

A continuation of last Monday's post. To summarize: Mo meets boy (Clark), Mo talks with boy, Mo is smitten but hesitant because of boy's use of the word curvy, boy assures Mo it's a euphemism, Mo sends more pictures of Mo to boy, boy rejects Mo. Mo was heartbroken. And Mo really needs to stop […]

#MeToo - Mo Livin' Large

I was 23. It was January, 1999. I’d just left Central the previous spring, and was living at home with my parents. Money meant working at Marshall Fields (now Macy’s) while looking for a full time job more likely to develop into an actual career. The internet was just becoming mainstream with dial u...

I wrote a blog post (last year) after losing my dear friend Laura to a stroke. She was 39. I chose not to publish it because the feelings were still too raw, too close to the surface. So instead, I give it to you now. molivinlarge.com/2016/06/30/and-then-you-try-to-say-good-bye/ ...

... and then you try to say good bye - Mo Livin' Large

How do you say good-bye to a dear friend before it's their time? I originally wrote this post last July after losing my friend Laura Valko Vasseur.
