I am that lame…

I don’t buy magazines that often. I’m kinda cheap that way. Once in a while, I’ll pick up a copy of Real Simple when Bald Man and I make it out for coffee, or if I have a coupon. However, there was a magazine that I just had to pick up the […]

I want it to matter to you that it matters to me…

I’m sure I’m not the only spouse to have ever uttered these words. It starts with something bothering me to the point of being distraught or anxious. Something that I just can’t put out of my head. Something that I really wish I could change or prevent.
And something that means virtually nothing […]

Don’t forget to vote!

Just a day left to vote in this month’s poll. I’m encouraged by both the number of responses and the results so far. We’ll start a new poll tomorrow. Any suggestions on the topic?
Til then, make sure your voice is hear this month!

How much time do you spend daily talking to your […]

Jaunt Around the Channel

Time for another jaunt around the channel. Let’s see what the peeps are up to:
Sandy of Robust Cooking shares a link for free cookbooks. I’m right on it! I don’t think I could have too many cookbooks. Each one that I have has inspired some dish that I’ve made. Yum.
Yipes! […]

What would your bedroom say about your marriage?

Not as in, if walls could talk. I don’t want to hear what your bedroom says about your marriage. Sheesh….I’m not that voyeuristic.
But, looking at your bedroom as an outsider, what would you think it says? I mean, this is the room that is reserved for the two of you […]

Pay attention…

No, not to me.
Well, right now to me. Then not.
Allow me one more annoyance for Bald Man this week. Just one. And it starts when he comes home from work, stands at the computer to check his e-mail, and the kids notice he’s there.
Kid: Daddy?
….
Kid: Daddy!
….
Kid: DADDY!
Daddy: What?
Kid: Can I (fill in […]

Independence vs. Marriage

In our church meeting last night we were reading First Corinthians. It’s a long letter, and in one section the author, Paul, gives some advice about marriage. Some of what he says is a bit odd if for no other reason than its distant context. Sex, for example, was a common aspect of worship in […]

Annoyances

A while back, Bald Man was talking about annoyances between us. Yes, there are those things that we all do that annoy our spouses. I’m not talking about the serious offenses that we talk through and resolve because we know the importance of communication and resolution, right? ;) No, I’m talking about […]

The Tables Are Turned…

The financial tables, that is. For the entirety of our marriage, and for almost a year before, Bald Man has been in charge of our money. By my choice. I’ve never had much interest in keeping up with our books. It’s not that I haven’t known about our financial situation, I […]
