I'm planning to give up worrying. I want to, but I'm worried I won't be able to.

For me, having it all - if one wants to define it at all - is the magical time when what you want and what you have match up.

In Los Angeles, by the time you're 35, you're older than most of the buildings.

Preparing for the worst is an activity I have taken up since I turned thirty-five, and the worst actually began to happen.

Clothes have special power. I'll always remember the raspberry colored v-necked silk sweater I was wearing on my husband and my first date. If I hadn't been wearing that sweater that night, would any of it have happened?

Your basic extended family today includes your ex-husband or -wife, your ex's new mate, your new mate, possibly your new mate's ex and any new mate that your new mate's ex has acquired.

in the family I grew up in, being called boring was like being called an ax murderer.
