My older brother got married at the end of October and I’ve been a slacker with writing a post about it. They did a traditional pagan handfasting and it was really a beautiful ceremony. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my brother happier. Given the family dynamic that we’ve been struggling to improve over the [...]
I took a blogging hiatus this summer. It was kind of an impromptu thing. There’s been a lot going on around here lately. Most of which I’m not ready to talk about in detail. It just didn’t feel right to keep blogging here and keeping secrets within my own space. Hence the hiatus. I’ve missed [...]
Mona first told me her idea for Glitter during Sparklecorn at Blogher13. This was after she stood behind me, waiting for my brain to connect the dots and realize the gorgeous red head was one of my favorite bloggers, Dead Cow Girl. In my defense, there was a lot going on at that moment. Megan [...]
Last weekend, I went with my cousin, her mom, and bridesmaids to try on wedding dresses. And beyond wanting to beat her to a pulp for complaining about her 2-size difference waist-to-hips ratio making it hard to size her, it was a really good day. (Sorry, you just won’t get any sympathy from me about [...]
I’ve been looking forward to BBC Philly for freaking months and months a while. It’ll be my second time there, and a long-overdue weekend away. But since I’m still in the middle-stages of getting an accessible van that I can drive from the wheelchair, that means Ben has to take me. And since the option [...]
Lately, there’s been an epidemic of doing everything half-assed. And I mean everything: folding half the laundry, putting away half the clean dishes, cleaning half a room. Unfortunately for Ben, this post is all about him. I’m not really sure when it started, but the symptoms of said half-assed epidemic are showing up more and [...]
Yesterday, I texted my friend, who got married a couple of weeks ago, to “see how the newlyweds were doing”. And as I expected, she replied that nothing has changed. I can’t even tell you how many times I gave that answer – most couples who were already living together before tying the knot feel [...]
I have been putting off participating in Project Marriage for the past few months, and it’s about time I actually play along with Tina’s great new monthly meme. September’s theme is Then and Now: photos of you and your honey throughout the years of your relationship. October will mark 6 years since Ben and I [...]
Last week, I found out that my cousin got engaged. And as much as I want to spew gossip, rant and rave, and point fingers, I know that even though this is “my blog” and I have full rule-making rights, nothing good can come of it. So let’s just say . . . I have [...]
Alternatively titled: Strange conversations with my husband, via text. Ben: Yeah, forgot that they do that . . . so I can pick you up and go back as soon as I get home Jenn: I need a shower before people get here, so we’ll need to boogie. Ben: [...]
