"What our parents somehow neglect to tell us when they talk about marriage is that it isn't about kids or souls communing. It's about having the same old argument. You know what I'm talking about here. In every marriage there's an argument you two have so often you could tape it, play it next time the issue comes up, and save yourself the energy ( Read more... )

So, since getting my name changed on my drivers license, name change stuff has pretty much come to a hault for me. Why? Because I lost my new Social Security card. I had it with me at the DMV, and then filed the whole wad of Josh's and my important papers we had at the DMV in the same folder. Every time I've looked back through that folder (and ( Read more... )

Well, I went out for a walk an hour and a half ago. I didn't get very far before I ran into an Estate Sale. 90 minutes and $112 later we have a lovely ceder chest and a cut crystal pitcher and 6 matching tumblers. (If I hadn't left my wallet at home, and if I hadn't had to call up Josh and have him come look at the ceder chest, the pitcher and ( Read more... )

The suspense is killing me.

Happy sigh... :-)

Lyrics to remember, from Once Upon a Mattress.

"Yesterday I loved you / like never before / but now I must confess / Today I love you less / than I will tomorrow morning / My heart cannot be trusted / I give you fair warning / I tremble at your touch / not nearly half so much / as I will tomorrow morning..."Rarely do I run across a song which ( Read more... )

I wonder if the same people who will tell you, "Don't keep a joint savings account with your husband because he might steal your life savings" also would recommend using a condom all the time with your husband just in case he is cheating on you and bringing home STDs. Certainly there is something to be said for both recommendations, but I've never ( Read more... )

When it comes to all the photos from the wedding... there's really a lot of them! I think by tomorrow I'll be posting pictures of Josh and I from the morning of the wedding and an illustrated transcript of the ceremony. Someday I might also start working on the reception photos, but certainly not before the holiday, and possibly not for a lot ( Read more... )
