I know there are a million other Fairy Princesses, aka sappy Emode subscribers who chose wine over beer in some pathetically commercialized little Passion Predicator test that contained 65 questions, out there.  But hey...

Picture this ~ a magnificent castle (surrounded by a moat, of course), a diamond tiara, a white horse, and one bona fide Prince Charming. Sound familiar? Even though I am too well-rooted in reality to really pine away for the fairy tale romance, deep down inside the modern, successful woman that I am, could there be a shadow of the little princess awaiting her knight in shining armor?

By tapping into my inner romantic well from time to time, I can be sure that I'll only settle for the perfect lifelong mate. In a cold, cynical world, refreshingly romantic souls like mine are a rare and precious commodity. That's why it can be hard to resist renting movies like A Room with a View or Shakespeare in Love just one more time...

But, as with most fabulous things, there's a flip side to all this: My expectations might sometimes be too high. If I am harboring even the slightest desire to go live on Fairy Tale Lane, that's a tall order for my partner to fill. So take five every now and then to make sure I'm balancing what you really want and what I need to be happy. It's the only sure recipe for living happily ever after.
