Hot, Sexy, Single – Law of Attraction

Posted on May 1st, 2009 | 24 comments

I’ve been out of a dating relationship for several months now, and it’s driving me nuts. The lack of sex, lack of companionship, lack of emotional intimacy, lack of kisses and hugs.
Do you see a problem with my attitude of lack?
Sometimes I forget that I’d do well to keep an attitude of gratitude, and focus [...]

Spring Fever Sex, Love, Nature, and a Rockin’ Mini-Van

Posted on April 3rd, 2009 | 23 comments

The Dad’s House Spring Fever contest has come to a close. Seventeen bloggers waxed poetic on the season of spring. Want spring fever diversity? It’s here!

Do you ever get that I NEED ATTENTION feeling? You know, where you want another person, or maybe an entire community, to adore you? After my divorce, I sure did. I think a lot of single parents do. It’s that desire for someone to want you, someone to make you feel good.
