Marriage is a commitment, so you always have to work at it.

But America was built by optimists. Optimists like my friend Amanda, who recently started a small business. When she went to buy her website address-her first and last name-she found that someone already owned it, but wasn't using it. So my friend emailed the owner of the site to ask if she could buy it. The owner wrote back.

I think sometimes women are stuck in a type. I've never dated the same type. I fall in love with personalities, and they come in different packages.

I love being a woman. I love the sexiness we get to exude. But the best thing about being a woman is the power we have over men.
