This is Mona's Law, from More Tales of the City (1978, so definitely predating Sex and the City) Oddly enough, I found this post listed as a reference when I went hunting down the exact quote: "You can have a hot lover, a hot job and a hot apartment, but you can't have all three at the same time."

It just occurred to me that I am quite impressed by the writing and grammar skills expressed throughout Stolie’s blog and her guests’ posts. I am a relentless editor, and being a seventh grade teacher, I read a lot of really crappy grammar. Thank you all for restoring my faith in the proper use of punctuation and correctly spelled words. I now know where to turn when reading other people’s writing (even so-called professional writers’) gets me down.

OK, I think I’ve decided to add you as a link on my blog, maybe we can get this kind of East Coast, West Coast kinda conversation going on, though why that should happen is anyone’s guess, and is probably a task best left to Sisyphus, but I have some good friends from NY, and I love to bug them about our differences, but will try to make some cogent remarks in this blogspace which may be somewhat entertaining and enlightening, especially your blog, and will in the future also try to deviate from the path of run-on sentences, but in the meantime let’s just say what the hell, and go from there.

Hey Mike,

Welcome back to the blog!!!!!

I just re-checked you out and you’re looking good as well. I think we started blogging at about the same time, give or take a month or two.

HANG IN THERE!!! :)

Hmmm … That kinda of sounded like an AA meeting, didn’t it? “Hang in there.” I’ve never been to an AA meeting, but I have a friend that wears a shirt that says “AA is for Quitters.” She, of course, is an alcoholic …

Hey Stolie, I haven’t checked in in a while. You’re sounding good. Keep it going, my friend.

Jenn: I saw the first Bridget Jones movie, but I didn’t see the second one. (I heard it was beyond horrible.)

Andy: “A friend once told me that you can love where you live, love your job and have a mate you love, but rarely all three at the same time.” Hmmm … so far, this had totally proven true in my life (in New York, and elsewhere).

Suezette: WELCOME to the blog!! :) By the way (and since you asked), in my opinion, Sex in the City is just as relevant to a black woman’s experience as Girlfriends is to a white woman’s. Bottom line? All women are free to love shoes!!! ;-)

goldennib: I *LOVED* the 80s :) Oh, back in the day …

MamaChristy: So far, it seems like it’s somewhat accurate, but I’ll let you know if I still feel this way one year from now. :)

I’m glad to hear that such a great show was actually somewhat accurate. Thanks for blogging about it.

Sex in the City reminds me of life during the Eighties, but I never found it that glamorous. Perhaps New York really is Oz.

Girl…I like Sex in the City, but is it really relevant to the Black woman’s experience? Ok there are some universal elements, but there are some resounding differences..although I really wouldn’t mind having Carrie’s shoes…lol…

Awesome blog..I found you through Style & Grace
