Will you be watching Denise Richards’ “complicated” life tonight?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ June 1, 2008 ⋅ 9 comments

I only have basic cable (and rarely watch TV), so I won’t be staying up to see”Denise Richards: It’s Complicated.”
But if you will, let me know. I’m curious.
Although this is a reality show, my hope is that Richards can use this medium to show that single moms can move on after divorce, past the bitterness. [...]

Hollywood options movie about a single mom who settles

When I wrote about Lori Gottlieb’s Atlantic Monthly article “Marry Him! The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough,” you had a lot to say about not settling. Thanks!
Now get this: Lori’s article has just been optioned by Warner to become a movie. She got a book deal out of it, too — sold to [...]

Squeezing in a date before the birthday gala

Thanks to all of you for the birthday wishes!
While my little sister and Mae baked the 8th birthday ice skating cake (above) — which turned into a frosting party that yours truly got to clean up — I went on a date with the Biologist. We went downtown to a little swank bar, where [...]

And then I promptly disinvited him.
But it wasn’t because I didn’t want to see him. (I really wanted to see him!). Moreover, I really wanted my single mom friends to meet him.
It would have been so convenient: three of my closest single mom girlfriends were all at the Egg Hunt. So, I’d invited the Biologist [...]

Crazy Computer Dad recently commented that “you really want to make sure you let your children know you are dating.”

As I read Crazy Computer Dad’s advice, I was relieved. After all, Mae is way [...]

Running into my lacto fetishist

I pulled a late night my final day in New York City, which surely exasperated the poison oak. After sipping wine with my superstar LifetimeTV editor at the chichi Bar Centrale, I headed downtown to hear some music.
Mae was with my best friend from Reed College uptown, making cookies, as I caught the subway to [...]

I passed the postman a sealed envelope…

After reading all of your enthusiastic comments here, I decided to go for it.
NOT one of you discouraged me from making a move. Thank you, also, to my cousin Marge (who is more like my Aunt, and often emails advice to me), who wrote: “What struck me in your blog — nor did I [...]
