In which we’re cured

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

The King and I celebrated our return from our month in Europe last September by signing up for marriage counseling.
We had just spent the previous three years leading different lives. He was working during the day and building us a new house on the nights and weekends. I was also working during the day [...]

In which my husband has no job and no tan lines

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

I spent the summer between graduating from high school and moving away to college in my parent’s backyard, working on my tan. I woke up every morning, put on my “tanning attire”, pulled my hair back, applied tanning lotion, grabbed the latest novel I was reading, and spent the rest of the day lying out [...]

And Andrew Bird will always remind me of my last miscarriage.
This isn’t a bad thing.  In fact, it makes my heart feel good.  I [...]

In which I blog on my couch from my new laptop, for the first time EVER

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

When The King lost his job, he also lost his work laptop. I guess your employer gets to keep stuff like that. Since we had no laptop to call our own, we had to buy one. In this day and age you sort of need access to the interweb to find a [...]
