The Hundred Man Plan

A funny, brave and subversive novel. A feminist riposte to centuries of men having all the fun.

Ten years of a seemingly perfect marriage crumbles when an anonymous woman uncovers her husband's affair.

To add insult to injury, he blames his infidelity on her, calling her "frigid" and "a prude." To prove she's anything but, she embarks on a liberating sexual odyssey, embracing her desire and refusal to be defined by her ex-husband's hurtful words. She, along with her already sexually liberated best friend, hatch the ultimate plan: to sleep with one hundred men.

As she sets forth on this contemporary heroine's journey, navigating the complexities of modern relationships and one-night stands, she begins to break free from the constraints of her past. Each encounter becomes a step towards reclaiming her identity and redefining her notions of love, intimacy and fulfillment.

House Hunting Tips for Couples

(Because Your Dream Home Shouldn’t End Your Relationship)

House hunting as a couple is like going on a series of awkward blind dates—with bricks and bathrooms. One of you falls in love with the exposed beams, while the other wonders where the closest Taco Bell is. One sees “charming,” the other sees “haunted.”

But don’t worry. With the right mindset (and a shared snack bag), finding your forever home doesn’t have to end in a dramatic argument over backsplash tile. Here are some helpful—and slightly humorous—tips to survive and thrive during the couple's house hunting journey.

1. Make a “Non-Negotiables” List—Separately

Before you even step foot in an open house, each of you should write down your non-negotiables. These are the features that make or break a house for you. Maybe it's a big kitchen. Maybe it’s a garage. Maybe it’s a bathtub big enough to host a small musical.

Then compare lists and discuss. You might learn things about each other, like how your partner can’t live without a fireplace—even in Florida.

2. Learn the Art of the “Poker Face”

You might fall in love with the first house you see. You might also realize mid-tour that it smells like wet carpet and crushed dreams. Either way, maintain the poker face. Gushing or grimacing too early might cause tension—or make the seller jack up the price.

Whisper your thoughts to each other in the car like two spies exchanging top-secret intel. It’s more romantic that way.

3. Budget Like You’re Already Paying for a Wedding and a Baby Alpaca

Money conversations aren’t sexy, but you have to get honest about your financial reality. Know what you can actually afford—not what Zillow wants you to dream about at 2 a.m.

Factor in all the costs: mortgage, insurance, taxes, furniture, weird decorative lawn gnomes, and emergency “this house is trying to fall apart” repairs. A good rule: Buy the house that still lets you afford date nights and tacos.

4. Don't Fall for the “Flipper’s Special”

Yes, that renovated 1920s bungalow looks Pinterest-perfect, but ask yourself: Did they do quality work or just slap some subway tile over a mess? Don’t let shiplap hypnotize you into ignoring foundation cracks and wiring that’s older than your relationship.

Bring in a home inspector. Or two. Or someone’s very blunt uncle.

5. Location Matters More Than You Think

You may love a house, but if it’s 47 minutes from everything you do, you’ll start to resent it—and each other. Think about commutes, grocery runs, and how far you’ll have to go when you forget the milk for the fifth time.

Bonus tip: Walk around the neighborhood at different times of day. Make sure it doesn’t magically turn into a “Fast & Furious” film set after sunset.

6. Create a Safe Word for Open Houses

After your tenth showing of the day, everything starts to blur. You’re arguing over light fixtures. You’re confused about whether you’re in a bathroom or a glorified closet. You’re hangry.

Establish a silly word (like “pineapple” or “bingo sauce”) that signals: We’re cranky and need a snack break before we murder each other over grout colors.

7. Don’t Expect Your Partner to Love What You Love—And That’s Okay

They might not get your obsession with breakfast nooks. You might not understand their need for a man cave/yoga room/home gym combo. Relationships are about compromise—and your dream house should be, too.

It’s okay if the house isn’t perfect—as long as it becomes perfect for you two together.

8. Celebrate the Little Wins

Found a house you both kinda like? High five. Agreed on a location? Pop some champagne. Didn’t get into a fight at IKEA? You are thriving.

House hunting is a journey, and celebrating the little victories makes the big ones even sweeter.

It's Not Just a House—It's Your Home

At the end of the day, you’re not just choosing walls and windows—you’re picking the place where you’ll cook meals, binge-watch shows, and argue over thermostat settings for years to come.

So be patient with each other. Laugh when things get weird. And when you finally find that house that makes you both go, “Yes, this feels right,” hold hands and jump in.

Because home is where the weird little arguments happen—and you love each other anyway.

Finn - The Silk Rope Masters bk 6.

Claire Reynolds, 55, never believed in soul mates, or love at first sight, until she literally ran into Finn O’Malley, 55. Something happened—something primeval, something like destiny calling, as they stared at each other. A ‘happy ever after’ was theirs for the taking—and they grabbed it joyfully with both hands. Mysterious floral gifts. A hidden agenda. A faux saviour. A watcher who finally acts. An act that intends death to Finn. An act that neither Finn or Claire may survive.

Pizza, Pints, and Pure Joy: Eating at Centro Woodfired Pizzeria in Cedar City, Utah

 

Pizza, Pints, and Pure Joy: Eating at Centro Woodfired Pizzeria in Cedar City, Utah

There are pizza joints, and then there’s Centro Woodfired Pizzeria—where the crust is so perfect, you start re-evaluating your life choices and asking why every pizza you’ve ever had didn’t taste like this. Located in the heart of Cedar City, Utah, Centro isn’t just a meal—it’s a moment.

Whether you’re post-hike, pre-show, or just pretending to be outdoorsy while wearing hiking boots for fashion, Centro is the kind of place that welcomes you in, feeds you like royalty, and sends you out with the type of satisfaction usually reserved for cozy naps and freshly folded laundry.

The Brooklyn Pepperoni: A Love Letter in Crust Form

Let’s get straight to it: I ordered the Brooklyn Pepperoni, and I may never be the same again.

The crust? Woodfired perfection. Just the right balance of crisp and chew, slightly charred on the edges with that soft interior that makes you pause and whisper “wow” into your plate. The pepperoni was stacked generously—crispy at the edges, spicy in all the right ways, and living its best life on a bed of gooey mozzarella and vibrant, tangy tomato sauce.

It’s the kind of pizza that turns “I’ll just have a slice” into “Don’t touch that last piece—I’ve named it.”

Beer Me: Kiitos Amber Ale, You Smooth Little Devil

To accompany this slice of heaven, I opted for the Kiitos Amber Ale—a local brew out of Salt Lake City that made my pizza taste even better (which is impressive, because the pizza was already doing the most).

The amber ale was malty, smooth, slightly nutty, and just the right amount of bold without overpowering. In short, it was like the best friend your pepperoni didn’t know it needed.

What Else Is On the Menu? Temptation, That’s What.

Yes, I came for the Brooklyn Pepperoni, but don’t think I wasn’t eyeballing the rest of the menu like a pizza-hungry detective.

Centro’s got everything from the classic Margherita (for the purists) to more adventurous picks like the Prosciutto Arugula, Spicy Sausage & Peppers, and a White Pie that practically winked at me from the next table over. There are also small plates like meatballs, house-made bread, and fresh salads—aka, fancy words for “start here before you dive face-first into pizza."

Vegetarian? Covered. Gluten-sensitive? Ask—they’ve got options. Craving dessert? Get the house-made panna cottaand thank me later.

And After You Eat? Welcome to Cedar City.

Centro is just a stone’s throw from all the best that Cedar City has to offer:

• Utah Shakespeare Festival: Catch a show and feel cultured. Extra points if you quote Shakespeare while ordering pizza (e.g., "To crust or not to crust?").

• Southern Utah University: Take a stroll around campus, pretend you're 19 again, and try not to pull a hamstring.

• Frontier Homestead State Park Museum: Learn about pioneer life and suddenly appreciate your air-conditioned pizza parlor even more.

• Cedar Breaks National Monument: Because nothing says “romantic post-pizza stroll” like a dramatic canyon at 10,000 feet.

• Local shops and galleries: Walk off the pizza and maybe pick up a handmade mug to commemorate your crusty adventure.

Come Hungry, Leave Gloriously Full

Centro Woodfired Pizzeria isn’t just a meal—it’s a delicious little chapter in your Cedar City adventure. Whether you’re fueling up for a hike or winding down after a long day, it delivers the goods: top-tier pizza, local brews, and the kind of crust that haunts your dreams in the best possible way.

So if you’re anywhere near southern Utah, do yourself a favor. Head to Centro. Order the Brooklyn Pepperoni. Grab a Kiitos Amber Ale. And remember to savor every bite—because great pizza, like great memories, should never be rushed. 

Stop Bashing Your Partner When They're Not Around

 

Stop Bashing Your Partner When They're Not Around

(Seriously, You’re Not Auditioning for a Stand-Up Set)

We’ve all been there.

You're at a dinner party, out with friends, or sitting around the family table when someone lets loose:
“Ugh, my husband loads the dishwasher like it’s an abstract art installation.”
“My wife? She says she’s ‘just running in for one thing’ and comes out with a cart full of candles and a kayak.”

Cue the laughs. Cue the eye rolls. Cue the wave of people joining in, each trying to one-up the last with their own “my partner is ridiculous” story. Before you know it, you’re knee-deep in a Roast Battle: Relationship Edition.

It’s funny. Until it’s not.

Let’s Call It What It Is: Bad Habit in a Cute Outfit

Mocking your partner when they’re not around may feel like harmless venting, but over time, it turns into a bad habit that wears matching pajamas with resentment.

And sure, we all need to let off steam sometimes. Nobody’s saying you have to pretend your significant other floats around the house glowing with angelic perfection while folding laundry with unicorn tears. But there’s a difference between the occasional, light-hearted gripe and turning every conversation into a roast.

Because here’s the thing: if the only way you bond with your friends is by dragging your partner through the comedic mud, that’s… not cute. That’s lazy love and emotionally discounted entertainment.

So, What If We Flipped the Script?

Imagine this: You’re at brunch, your friend goes off about how their boyfriend never replaces the toilet paper roll, and you casually drop,
“Well, last night my husband rubbed my feet even though I 100% ignored him all day because I was annoyed he bought the wrong cereal.”

Record scratch. Did you just… say something NICE?

Yes. Yes, you did.

You know what happens when you start complimenting your partner in public? One, your friends blink in shock. Two, they might start doing it too. And three, you start to remember all the things you actually like about your partner—those sweet, weird, wonderful things that made you choose them over literally everyone else on Earth.

Real Talk: You’re Training Yourself

When you bash your partner regularly—even jokingly—you’re literally training your brain to see the bad first. You start noticing flaws before you notice effort. Grumbles before gratitude.

But if you make a conscious effort to highlight the good—even the goofy good, like how they always make the coffee just right or let you have the last fry—your mindset shifts. You see more good because you're looking for it.

It’s basically Relationship Law of Attraction. But with less vision boards and more actual bonding.

Bonus Side Effect: People Will Love You for It

Want to be the couple people actually like being around? Be the couple that lifts each other up, even when the other one isn’t in the room. It sets a tone. It creates that warm, fuzzy “I want what they have” vibe.

No one wants to hang out with a pair who constantly trash talk each other. That’s not love. That’s passive-aggressive improv comedy, and it’s exhausting.

Celebrate Your Person—They’re Yours, After All

Look, nobody’s saying you have to pretend your partner doesn’t occasionally snore like a congested walrus or text you from the other room instead of walking 10 feet. But balance the quirks with compliments. Sprinkle some love in with the laughs.

And next time you’re tempted to go full roast mode while your partner’s not around, try this instead:

Talk about how they remembered your weird favorite snack.
Mention how they made you laugh when you were being a total grouch.
Tell your friends how they always warm up your side of the bed.

You might just start a trend.

And you just might fall a little more in love while you’re at it. 

 

Souvenir Ideas for Couples to Bring Back from Trips and Vacations

(Because Matching T-Shirts Are Only the Beginning)

Let’s be honest—vacations end, tans fade, and your return flight is somehow always delayed. But souvenirs? Souvenirs last forever. They’re your little time capsules from paradise (or that hilarious misadventure you swore you'd never speak of again).

For couples, the right souvenir isn’t just about kitsch—it’s about memories, inside jokes, and reminders of why you actually like traveling with each other. So skip the snow globes (unless you're really into that) and check out these souvenir ideas that are fun, personal, and won't end up in the back of your junk drawer.

Local Art (Yes, Even That Weird One)

Every destination has its own artistic flair. Find a local artist and grab a small piece that speaks to your experience. Bonus points if it’s slightly offbeat—because nothing says “we survived that zipline tour” like a watercolor of a suspiciously muscular llama.

Hang it up when you get home and let it be the conversation starter that forces you to re-live that “remember when we got lost in Lisbon?” story for the hundredth time.

A Photo You Didn't Post

We get it—you took 672 selfies. But choose one that actually means something, print it, and frame it. Make it a tradition. One photo per trip. No filters, no edits, just real-deal adventure energy. (Yes, even if one of you has sand stuck in your teeth.)

Matching (or Almost Matching) Accessories

We’re not saying you need to go full-on “his and hers” tank tops. But maybe matching leather bracelets from a market in Mexico? Or mugs from that quirky roadside diner you ended up at when GPS failed you both?

Subtle, stylish, and 10 times better than an airport keychain.

Recipe Ingredients (or the Whole Cookbook)

If you fell in love with a dish while traveling, bring it home. That spice blend from Morocco. That pasta flour from Italy. That barbecue sauce you weren’t legally allowed to bring on the plane but managed anyway.

Then recreate the meal together and turn your kitchen into a chaotic love fest of spilled olive oil and happy arguments over seasoning.

Ornaments That Don’t Match Anything Else

Even if you’re not “ornament people,” hear us out: holiday ornaments make awesome souvenirs. They’re small, easy to pack, and once a year you’ll pull it out, laugh, and go, “Remember that place?” right before nearly setting the tree on fire.

Sentimental and flammable—just like your relationship.

Soundtrack to Your Trip

Was there a local band you loved? A song that played everywhere? A street musician you tipped way too much for a two-minute performance? Grab that album, download that playlist, or buy a CD if you’re feeling retro.

One song can transport you right back to that beach bar, dance club, or karaoke fail.

A Souvenir for Your Future Selves

Write each other a quick note about the trip. Stick it inside the travel book, or hide it somewhere in your suitcase. Don’t read it until your next vacation. It’s like emotional luggage—without the baggage fees.

It's Not Just Stuff—It's Your Stuff

Souvenirs don’t have to be expensive or fancy. The best ones are personal, a little weird, and filled with the kind of meaning that only makes sense to the two of you.

So the next time you travel, skip the basic fridge magnet and find something that makes you smile every time you see it—whether it’s a lopsided clay mug, a bag of suspicious spices, or a very tasteful framed picture of your sunburned faces.

Because love is the ultimate souvenir. But that ceramic frog from Prague comes pretty close.
