This couple broke up after 17 years of marriage -- because of the wife's PMS.
I once read a whole article about girls who ditch their boyfriends because the PMS tells them to.
Make of that what you'd like, but it prompted me to have a sweat-inducing dream about breaking up with my boyfriend because he chewed his Zicam tablet instead of sucking on it.
Hmm. I guess you had to be there.
But it brings up a good question: Ladies, do you apologize to your man for PMS-driven actions, or just expect him to handle it as a fact of life?
Good news for the aforementioned couple, though: They're back together.
Something tells me the guy has learned to take a one-week vacation every month.

tough getaway
Bad news, stiletto fans: Robbers are increasingly targeting women in heels, according to this article.
Why? Well, when the victim is standing 5 inches off the ground, a fair chase is a little difficult.
It's sad news for shoe fans, even those who have heeded advice like this very detailed set of instructions on how to walk in heels.
I've accomplished a lot in my neon pink pumps, but I doubt I'd be able to out-run a thief. Especially when I'm not even able to get out of a car without falling on my butt.
Has anyone out there mastered the art of stiletto combat?

perpetual bliss
There's always That Couple -- you know, the ones showering each other in PDAs and glowing with every utterance of "you complete me."
You hold back your vomit by telling yourself that they must be really unhappy behind closed doors.
Well, you might be wrong.
Ten percent of couples really do feel that initial rush of love permanently, these researchers say.
Don't worry, though. Even if your coupled friends fall into that category, you're still more than welcome to make up jealous rumors about their relationship.
In fact, I'd encourage it.

the final countdown
This woman is giving herself 52 weeks to find a husband -- and she wants your help.
She's set up her own Web site, "52 Weeks to Find My Husband," which features videos, a daily blog and a discussion board.
Part of me thinks the whole thing is a little extreme, mainly because I've never been a fan of arbitrary time frames when it comes to relationships.
At the same time, one of my biggest pet peeves is when people complain about not having a significant other -- but do nothing to change their situation. Or the girls who complain about not being married...and then only date guys who hate commitment.
So maybe the 52-week mission isn't that bad of an idea after all.
What do you think: desperate or determined?

mmm...child's pose
Need a reason to stick to your New Year's resolution to get fit? Check out this article, which says that people who do yoga have more fun between the sheets.
It makes me a little happier I've been so diligent in going to my 3 p.m. Sunday yoga class for the past few months.
Maybe in 2009 I'll be brave enough to initiate a romantic interlude with, "Hey baby, check out my downward dog."

happy new year!
Hope everybody found a great way to ring in 2009. I partied at The Loft until midnight, and then hit up Belloo's for a quick cosmo before going to bed.
I've heard all the arguments from the new year's haters. Maybe a little part of me even fits in their camp. After all, Jan. 1 is just an arbitrary calendar date, and the average person's will to change only goes so far.
And for all its emphasis on resolutions, the new year also seems to sometimes put your optimism in jeopardy if you're actually happy with the status quo.
So yes, haters, it's 2009 and all you've received is a hangover and a new digit you'll forget to attach to paperwork for another month.
Still, maybe a temporary emphasis on transformation isn't that bad after all. Call it a fantasy, call it a false hope, call it a reflection of naivete.
But it's tough to fault someone for devoting one day to believing that things can, and will, get better.
Even if it takes a whole year.
