Sonnet 87

But I just want to say that I love my husband. Big time.

That is all. Carry on!

Or so it would seem, according to our former neighbor. As his bride, I guess I could be Lilith if IP is the King of Hell?
We’ve run into our lovely former neighbor twice in as many days. Both times have been marked with her shooting us the dirtiest looks known to man. On Halloween night, [...]

There are two questions that get annoying post-wedding. One is “When are you having a baby?”, and I thank the Jebus Slug every single day that no one  has asked us that just yet. I know they’ll start sooner or later, but I’m quite happy to delay the commencement of that question. The second one [...]

Overheard on the way to work:
Guy: Well, I didn’t want you to think I was doing anything that might seem, you know, too boyfriend-y.
Gal (laughing): Oh, don’t worry! Just friendly. Not boyfriend-y at all!
Guy (weak laughter): No, I guess not. *cue look of frustration that the woman totally doesn’t catch*
Guy, I’m sorry to say that [...]

As you may have noticed, the wedding posts have been slowly but surely disappearing. However, whenever I think about our wedding, there’s one moment in which I feel like we totally tripped up a stupid wedding tradition and made our guests laugh at the same time.  You know the clinking of glasses to get the [...]

Kidding. A happy birthday to my wonderful, sexy, intelligent, understanding, funny and amazing husband. I wish very much I could find the words to say all that I want to about him and how I feel, but he really is indescribable.  He is home to me; in him I find my greatest comfort, my greatest [...]

Of all the wedding sneak peeks that I have, all of them show our faces (and the joy there), but they’re all too, too personal to share on this blog, especially the blog of someone who wishes to remain anonymous. I finally decided on this one because it’s not only of us newly married, but [...]

While shopping in the soda aisle at the Rockville Pike Giant, IP and I stumbled upon Diet Vernors ginger ale.  For those who don’t know, Vernors is a Michigan ginger ale, dating back to 1866.  It is the best ginger ale, period.  Canada Dry is great, and Shweppes is okay, but Vernors?  Excellent and quintessentially [...]

According to IP, my age is still in question on this, my Memorial Day birthday:

I maintain that I’m turning 31 years old today.  Happy birthday to me!
(To be fair, IP couldn’t find any 1s or 3s at the store; he was going to go for “331″ as my age.)

And we’ll babysit your infant for free for one afternoon to see what it’s like to be around a baby.  I have references if you need them. Children? Love me. Hell, I took care of my little brother half the time: I bathed the kid, fed him, changed his diapers, played endlessly with [...]
