The Scene: Last night, dinner at Noodles. The Hubby: Guess what I bought at Target today. Me: Dunno. What did you buy? The Hubby, eyes big and excited: A NASA shirt! Me, confused: Really? You’re not a space fan kinda guy. [a pause, thinking] What’s the name of the rover that’s on Mars right now? The …

The Hubby is an atheist. We’re on the same level when it comes why it’s important to keep religion out of government. We agree that the objections against gay rights, women’s rights, abortion, stem cell research, etc. are mostly rooted in religious ideology. We differ on activism, though. The Hubby is pretty private when it …

Most. Depressing. Birthday. Evar.
This is why the Hubby usually doesn’t get to plan our outings. Yesterday (Tuesday) was Hubby’s 38th birthday. Hehehe – my old man! Last week I asked what he was thinking about doing for his birthday, and I was pleasantly surprised when he told me that he was toying with the idea of going to …

Married People Conversations: Dream House
Sunday was gorgeous. The sun was shining, all of the snow had melted away, and it was a balmy 40F. The Hubby and I decided to walk up to Calhoun Square to make some much-needed Vitamin D, and to stop at Jimmy Johns for sandwiches (well…a sandwich for him and a gluten-free lettuce wrap for …

Me: Oh my god, look at the moon! Hubby: Yeah, it’s really pretty, especially through the the trees like that. Hubby: Except… Me: Yeah? Hubby [dropping into a Peter Lorre voice]: I feel myself…changing! Me: I will slap you right in the face if you turn into a werewolf. Hubby [looking at his hands in …

Happy anniversary to meeee!
Wowza…I’ve been working for three solid weeks. I know it’s been dead here on the blog, but I’m learning that this will happen when one works 12 hour days and through the weekends. I’m managing to smoosh a decent amount of fun and relaxation between these working hours, and with the recent incredible summer weather …

The Hubby called me at work yesterday. It was a really busy afternoon and I was a bit stressed out. Me: [briskly] Hey, what’s up? Hubby: I wanted to call to say hi, and to hear your voice. Me: Awww…are you having a hard day? Hubby: No. Actually I felt bad about last night. Me: …

We’re doing the morning routine in our little apartment’s single bathroom. The Hubby is drying his hair and I’m styling mine. I grab a bottle of mouse and spray a little in the palm of my hand. For some reason I decide to move my hand and the spraying can right next to the Hubby’s …

We were about to leave the house to go on a bike ride, but before we did I jumped on the computer to double check our route, and the Hubby laid down on the ground to stretch. I ended up fiddling around on the internet for a bit longer than necessary, and the Hubby’s stretching …

Married People Conversations 3
We have a two-bedroom apartment and long ago I ceded the second room to the Hubby for use as a workshop, computer room, closet. I take up most of the shared living room space with overflowing bookshelves, so it was a fair trade. But I never tire of reminding him of how nice and generous …
