Dear Jenny, Is it OK to fantasize about someone else but not go any further than that? Is it good for a marriage, or is it bad? As long as it doesn’t lead to anything, I would think it’s alright. What do you think? —Marty from Illinois
What better opportunity to go on a shopping spree than a change in seasons? Lucky for us, 2013 has a ton of trends to choose from. The overall vibe for Summer 2013 is to take your own personal style and expand upon it. Feeling a little lost? Here are a few key trends to get your shopping spree off on the right foot:
I don’t know about you, but I really do believe some people are born with the ability to talk to dead people. I recently had a reading with a medium by the name of Thomas John. Before I met with him, I said to myself, “OK, Grandpa. If this guy is real, please have you come through first and then bring my Uncle Tom [who just passed away] with you. Oh, and Grandma, of course.”
Being single and living in the suburbs of Chicago is like fishing in a lake with no fish in it. Happily married couples surround me and I find myself feeling very alone at times. It’s hard because, like most girls, in order to even have casual sex I need to have an emotional connection with the guy first.
Now that Evan is a little older and I’m not all consumed by days of no sleep due to my infant or toddler, I almost have moments where I forget about those days of sheer mommy exhaustion. What I face now is the desperate feeling of my precious baby slipping through my fingers. I honestly don’t know how time has gone so quickly, but I feel like someone has pushed the fast forward button on Father Time’s ol’ clock.
There are some annoying things people (including me) do on Twitter, so I decided to survey my own followers and ask them what they wish people would stop doing when they tweet. Here they are!
Dear Jenny, I read your blog all the time! I was wondering if you have any advice for letting go of possessive mannerisms. I have a hard time believing that things don’t belong to me (I’m almost 30), even friends or boyfriends. I have that “he’s mine” or “she’s my friend” kind of mentality. Are there healthy ways to slowly move away from this kind of thinking? —Sarah from Illinois
I know that breaking up is a really difficult course in the school of life, but I had no idea that witnessing a break up would be just as difficult. My dad is currently in the midst of heartbreak and its been really difficult to process. I feel like I’m suffering through all the stages with him just so he doesn’t feel so alone. His heart is just as fragile as the heart of a teenager, and watching him struggle is making me realize a lot about my own life and my own relationships.

So, how did your closet cleaning adventure go last week? I’m still hoping to see your before and after pictures, so be sure to tweet them to me! In the meantime, let’s tackle our next messy area: our desks and offices! Just because the days are getting longer doesn’t mean our workdays have to, and what better way to maximize our time than to have a clean and organized workspace? Whether you work from home, in a tiny cubicle or a large corner office with bamboo wood flooring and an intricately carved teak desk, chances are you have stacks of papers, paper clips, highlighters and coffee mugs up to your eyeballs.
