Chris now officially has the dream job of most men: he is being paid to look at porn. Yep, you read that correctly.
Back in the day, his job seemed a little boring: contract review after contract review (of course, he thinks tax law is no great shakes – boy, is he wrong!) [...]
And I wonder: How did I get so crazy? And then I hear from my family and it all seems so clear.
Chris got a nice note from my Mom today for Christmas. Again, clearly she meant well, but I couldn’t help but be a little offended (you know, like when she says, [...]
My last blog post of the night, I swear.
Just before posting, my husband and I had our annual “holiday party season” argument.
The thing is this: I am a social person, Chris is not particularly social. And yet, around the holidays, he develops a compulsion to accept every single holiday invitation that we receive. [...]
That’s how long I will be married as of October 28. Yep, five whole years.
Actually, Chris and I have been together for ten years. But that’s a sordid story involving mixed drinks, the Kiss song “Beth”, Chris entering the ladies’ room at a local bar and my mom receiving a frantic phone call [...]
My little girls are all out of sorts. Their dad has been on a business trip to Germany and they miss him. So do I.
Katie is particularly out of sorts. She is not sleeping well at night. She claims that there are monsters in the house – and she is never [...]
Sigh. Chris hasn’t been gone a whole day and already I miss him.
(Okay, I know I promised less sappiness before but tough, you’re stuck with it.)
Anyway, I was thinking about how things are so much harder without him. And not just the stuff that you’d think. The good stuff, too. Sometimes [...]
Okay, now I feel kind of guilty whining about some previous birthdays gone awry, only to discover that, in fact, Chris has (gasp) actually planned something for my birthday this year. As in really planned. And guys, that means a reservation.
This has been the thing I have noticed about men and special events, [...]
It is Chris’ 40th birthday today! He’s a super husband, a wonderful friend (he makes me laugh constantly) and an amazing dad. So, in his honor, we did a little birthday singing (warning: toddler singing, baby shrieking along and oh yeah, my sorry voice!):

Last night, over cocktails, I had a discussion with four single friends. I am the only one of us who is married or in a serious relationship (which, despite Mr. Jude Law’s behavior from before - see my prior post on the subject - I do consider [...]
I have been receiving these silly brochures in the mail encouraging me to join a dating service. Either I’ve managed to get on some wacky singles mailing list, or my husband is trying to tell me something.
