I’ve been thinking about my space here. I tend to get bored easily, and since I can’t paint my own house, and I’m tired of moving furniture, I think it’s time to do a little sprucing up around here. Forgive the mess if you catch me in between themes or formats or photos on my […]
Sorry for the bitch-fest lately. I’ll try to do better. So even though I’m sick today, I’m not going to whine about it. Instead, I’ll tell you an amusing story. Hubby is notoriously clumsy. He’s all long limbs and elbows, constantly bumping into things. So, of course, he’s accident-prone. He twisted his ankle playing laser tag at […]
I don’t want to complain, but I will. And I can’t blame PMS this time. It’s CD2. Which is a problem in itself. I shouldn’t have gotten my period until today or tomorrow. That means I had a 22 day cycle. The cycle before that was 26 days. What the hell? This is what I get […]
Or TRB–Total Raving Bitch–which is what I feel like today. I hate days like today, when nothing seems to go right, even the things that go right, and every. little. thing. can set me off. I get terrible road rage on days like today, screaming at no one but myself. Because I’m in such a […]
Whether you’re here for ICLW (International Comment Leaving Week) or for some other reason, welcome! Here’s my intro for new readers/catch-up for those of you who’ve been playing along at home: Hubby and I have been together for 8 1/2 years, married for (almost) six. Hubby was diagnosed with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism when he was 16 (and still hadn’t […]
In the summer of 2005, not-yet-Hubby and I had been together 1 3/4 years. We had lived together for over a year. But we had no plans to get married, other than knowing we would…someday. Our timeline was based on when Hubby would finish his PhD. That was how it was supposed to work. But […]
Big thanks to Mel for this assignment. I can’t believe I’ve got a (roughly) finished product in a week. If you haven’t checked out the MFA Sunday School, I highly recommend it! And go to the comments section of this week’s assignment to see the other great sestinas people have written. § § § […]
Thanks for tuning back in to the Hubby channel. Our regularly scheduled programming will resume as soon as we have news and/or a plan. Until then, it’s all about Hubby. His thoughts on his recent insomnia: “When I get a job, I will sleep like a baby. And when we have a baby, I’ll probably sleep […]
The latest assignment from Mel’s MFA Sunday School is to write a sestina. The rules are simple, but the task is incredibly difficult. I’m working on it. I’ve written one before, though, and since I’ve been writing a bit more about my relationship with Hubby, I thought I’d share my one successful sestina (still untitled) here: We drove east, past […]
(because that sounds more impressive than “at the request of three people”…) I bring you: the first date story. Hubby and I “met” on an online dating site (shock! horror!). This was eight and a half years ago, before the “one in five relationships” a certain dating site now proclaims start that way. Hubby had […]
