When I first moved to Los Angeles, one the weirdest things that I had to get used to was the odd array of decisions that came with finding a place to live.
For example, when I lived in Orange County, most houses & apartments were new. The hardest thing I ever had to decide on was whether or not to paint a wall in my living room.
In LA, it’s quite the contrary. Every visit to an apartment complex or home becomes an intense version of the game ‘Would You Rather!” -each answer to the question being harder than the question itself. Read more
Hello again, tweethearts! I have missed your tweeting little faces! How have you darlings been? I’ve been so stinking busy! It’s a good kind of busy, of course. I mean, I’m someone who thrives on a busy schedule. But I’m also dying for a night at home with Netflix and a glass of wine and my baby. You know what I mean? Anyway, one thing I always look forward to having on my schedule, no matter how busy I am, is writing my #AskPatti column and responding to all of your questions. So, let’s not waste any time!

1. He Never Wants To Talk About the Future
If talking about the future with your boyfriend involves references to Sci Fi movies, and no mention of children, love, or white picket fences, then you might want to reconsider his feelings for you.

But here’s the thing… the past is gone. The past is history and just because one guy let you down, doesn’t mean every other guy out there will do the same. Someone once said “the past doesn’t equal the future,” and it’s true. It’s so crazy how we’re born with so much trust and innocence, yet as we grow we develop so many trust issues. So many people allow what happened in their past to affect their future. Read more
If you’re a living, breathing woman, you’ve gone through a bad break up. It’s just part of being alive, unfortunately and a risk we all take when we give our heart to someone. I’m not going to sugar coat it with any B.S. like, “It’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.” When someone tells that to me after a break up, I respond with a big old middle finger. Post-break up is not a time to insist on sunshiney thinking. But, it can be a time for some tough love. Lady, you shouldn’t dwell on whatever loser let you walk away. You’ve got to get over him. And here’s how you’re going to do it. Read more
