Welcome to Confessions of a Banshee: Mostly Tragic Tales of Living, Loving & Social Working.
Months after Denver’s sexiest marijuana mogul broke my heart into shards, I went on a date with a dude who told me that I look and laugh like a Banshee—an Irish death spirit, one who wails when your time is up. He meant it as an insult. I decided it sounded like a good name for a blog to chronicle my dating disasters.
Ten years of romantic wreckage, self-sabotage, and questionable decisions—all documented in real time for your schadenfreude. Eventually I actually met The One and married him at the top of a Clocktower. For now this old married Banshee still howls from the Mile High City, but soon we’re packing up our Denver life and heading behind the Great Cheese Curtain (Wisconsin).
New stories live alongside the old: love, motherhood, social work, and the ongoing experiment of staying sane. If these mostly tragic and completely true tales don’t make you feel better about your own life, I hope at the very least you can laugh at—or share in—my pain.
