I'M JUST A GIRL WHO CAN SAY NO
When I was a sophomore in high school, a classmate of mine enthusiastically called me on the phone one Friday night, "Hey, Molly, what are you doing this Saturday night?"
"Nothing," I said, thinking I was about to be invited to a party or get-together."
"Awesome," she said. "Then will you babysit for me? I took this job with the Morgans, but I want to go to Trevor's party."
"Are you freakin' kidding me?"
No, peeps, I didn't take her babysitting job. I didn't like the...

MEET CHRISTY LEIGH STEWART
My guest this week is Christy Leigh Stewart, an independent writer from northern California whose most notable work is forthcoming.
Hi Christy! Great to have you here. Tell the cool peeps about yourself.
Hello! My name is Christy Leigh Stewart and I was born in 1985 so I grew up with a good amount of the neon 80s style and the 90s dirty hair. My astrological birth chart has heavy fire aspects in deep set water so my element is gasoline which explains a lot about me; I go with the flow until I g...

GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER?
I first met Ronald F. Hibbleton at one of my parents' dinner parties when I was a mere teenager. All I knew about him was that he was a big oaf of a guy who was married to a childhood friend of my mother's and that, behind his back, people called him Mr. Grant.
Granted (no pun intended), I'd rather have the name Grant than Hibbleton any day of the week, but I soon learned that he had earned that moniker by emulating the behavior of Ed Asner's character, Lou Grant, from T...

ANATOMY OF A JUNK DRAWER
Everyone knows the adage, "A place for everything, and everything in its place," right? In theory, that's really super advice. If I could implement it, I would never have to sort through stuff, never deal with clutter in my closets or my desk, and just live in a perfectly ordered world. Yeah, sure!
Today, as I clean out my junk drawer on the left side of my desk, I'm not only asking myself how all of that stuff got there and why it doesn't have a "place," but I'm also...

IT'S ALL ABOUT ME
Can we have a moment of quiet? I'm listening to something: "Me, me, me, me, me!"
Is that an opera singer warming up or a narcissist talking?
Doesn't it seem that, more and more, we live in an it's-all-about-me world?
Recently, my friend Tony was telling me about his friend Ian, who never stops talking about himself and has no interest in what others had to say or what they are doing. With high hopes, Tony and his friend Andy planned an intervention. They were going to...

THERE'S A BATHROOM ON THE RIGHT
Recently, a friend texted me early on a Saturday morning with the following message: "Up and Adam, Molly, we're going shopping today." I'd like to say that I just laughed, wondering how she could mistake "up and at 'em" for "up and Adam," except that for years, I thought the expression was said the same way. I often pondered why "up and Adam" meant "wake up and get out of bed," but I never researched it. On the day I saw "up and at 'em" written out on a billboard, it...
