I was on the phone with Uju a few days ago, and we were discussing something when I mentioned that it was almost a year since my divorce became final. And then it occurred to me that my divorce was final in October 2019 and we were now in October 2020. So that was when I looked through my 2019 calendar and lo and behold, the anniversary of my divorce was in 24 hours! - Saturday, October 24th, 2020. Let me tell you about this day, one year ago. On Wednesday, October 23rd, 2019, I was at work when Read More

Before I filed for divorce - in fact, before I even walked away from my marriage - I had never given a moment's thought to sex (or lack of it) during divorce. I also did not know that the legal laws for sexing while divorcing varied from State to State. In my State, Maryland, for example, it is illegal to have sex with someone who is not your spouse, until your divorce is final. It does not matter if you are legally separated. It was only when I separated from The Boy that I started receiving Read More
Well, my friends and family are still not taking me seriously. They think that me saying I may never remarry it just a phase. And frankly, I do not blame them one hundred percent because I have slipped and caught myself making statements like, 'When I get married,' or 'I want my traditional wedding to be ...." or 'When my husband and I ..." So, I guess it's not completely their fault for not taking me seriously. Also, with the rate at which I keep sending them pictures of beautiful black men, Read More
An incredible thing has happened. I am on my blog, writing about Chick-fil-A, and asking why Chick-fil-A is so good, I am not being funny. Let me tell you how we came to be where we are right now. Let's rewind to before I started asking why Chick-fil-A is so good. My earliest memories of Chick-fil-A was when Uju and I were in college, and neither of us knew what Chick-fil-A was or what their food tasted like. In fact, I remember we mispronounced the name as Chick-ah-fil, which in retrospect was Read More
