I’m going state the obvious here and tell you that the relationship I have with my mom is not what I hoped it would be. I know some of you have relationships that are similar to my own. I don’t know about you, but for me, it’s tough sometimes. I mean, I thought I had this thing figured out. I thought I had made peace with it. I thought I was was over it.

I’ve thought a lot about this over the last several days and it’s even kept me up at night. How does this new information change things? What does it mean? What happens now? Read More…

When I was recently given the chance to attend Fan Expo Dallas as a member of the press, I had a little bit of hope that I’d get to meet some of my favorite actors from Doctor Who or Person of Interest.

But as we started dating, and especially after we got married, I discovered that he wasn’t as carefree as I initially had him pegged for being. In fact, he was kind of a worrier, and I turned out to be the more carefree, risk taker in the relationship. Read More…
