My Favorite Days – Part Two
I’m posting this week about the best days in my life. Here’s another one of those days: My Wedding Day. November 30, 1991 (Yeah, I know. Not very original. But true.) I was a forty-year-old bride – and pretty close to being a forty-one-year old bride at that. I wore a traditional bridal gown. I …
I’m A Fast Learner
Thank you, everyone, for making my Freshly Pressed post so much fun. What a great Christmas present! As I take a little vacation for the rest of the week, here’s a re-run post so that you don’t forget me too quickly. I’M A FAST LEARNER I hate the expression, “You can’t teach an old dog …
A Helping Hand
Ah, Husbands. Their contributions to blogging are never-ending. Just yesterday, I wrote so sincerely about the sweet decency of the man. (“My Husband Secures His Spot In Heaven”) Yes, he is heaven-bound. He is a saint. An annoying saint. Yesterday, I also said I would be back to laughing at his eccentricities today. And I figured that …
My Husband Secures His Spot In Heaven
Today is my wedding anniversary. Twenty-two years ago – (to the disbelief of my family who had given up all hope) – and to my own surprise as well – I walked down the aisle of a pretty church and married a sweet crazy person. And I am still surprised (and happy and thankful and …
My Man
The day after the wedding I attended in St. Lucia, we were literally knee-deep in mud (at the volcano) when the bride started a sentence with “My husband….” She stopped mid-sentence and said, “That sounds weird.” If she thought it was weird in her mid-twenties, think about how weird it was for me – marrying …
It Wasn’t Me
I just came back from a fabulous destination wedding/vacation in St. Lucia. My husband and I think we are traveling when we drive from Connecticut to Rhode Island and stay in a bed-and-breakfast a WHOLE night. So this was WAY out of our comfort zone. And so worth it. And as long as we were …
The Cure
I wrote recently that I suffered from what I call Autoagnosia. I can’t tell one car from another. This drives my husband crazy, as he feels that cars are the ultimate gift from heaven. And I am just completely ungrateful – an insult really to the auto gods. So I’ve been trying really hard to …
That Explains A Lot
Everyone has those moments – when you hear or see something – that suddenly gives you insight into your own nature. I’ve heard it called an “aha moment” – and that expression really fits. “Aha! That’s why I’m me.” For instance, when I was a kid, I went through a short phase where I …
Typical
I just came across this photo that my cousin Susan (the little one in the front – and I won’t divulge how old she is now) posted last year on Facebook. When Sue posted this picture, I showed my husband. “Look how cute!” I said to Hubby. “This was taken on the day I made …
Jealousy
I’m jealous of my husband. Not jealous OVER my husband. Although I guess I would if he had a girlfriend. I guess. Maybe I would. I definitely would. Eventually. And I’m not jealous because he’s a MAN. No, I never wanted to be a man. As Elaine Benes said, “I don’t know how you guys …
