If you're going to get engaged make sure you've talked to your partner about life together in the years to come.

Think back to yourself at age 18. I know I was mighty different than the Patti I am today. As we grow up, we grow out of our haircuts, our apartments and - often times - our romantic decisions.

I was a D student in high school and on the dean's list in college.

Up until age 40, most men are just not as mature as women. So, it makes sense that a lot of women date up in age a bit.

I'm a very stereotypical person... and that's part of my flavor, I guess, because I tell it like it is.

I have a gift. I just know what I'm doing.

I'd like to adopt an older child, maybe 5 years old.
