How Quickly Time Flies

December 6, 2008

We made much wiser clothing choices in 2008, but we still froze our asses off.

I Know Our Honeymoon Was Seven Months Ago

But I finally just got this photo scanned into digital format — while in Mexico, we went horseback riding on the beach, and you were also allowed to unsaddle your horse and take it into the ocean for a swim. It was my first experience both riding bareback and swimming with a horse. Apparently horses [...]

No Cats Were Harmed in the Writing of This Post

I’ve had a life-long love affair with Polaroid photos (longtime Internet readers may remember the Polaroid-shot casts of characters); so it comes as no surprise that they were a big part of our wedding day. The Husband and I spray painted a series of signs that said things like ‘WE’RE SO GLAD’ and “YOU’RE HERE” [...]

LOLwedding

Rather than making a long post in pictures of our wedding day, Scott and I decided that LOLcatting felt more appropriate. (All original photos by the amazing Tamar London.)

Not Just Married, but Married Fairly Recently

More to come later … but for now … yes … we really went through with it. And it was amazing.

Heaven’s Gonna Burn Your Eyes

Today I’ve got to go pick up a dress, two rings, and a tux, and then I’ve got to drive, and then get a license, and then I’m going to get hitched. In case anyone was wondering, it’s about damn time I got married. And took a long, long honeymoon.
Back in ‘08, but maybe, just [...]

The Road Outside My House Is Paved With Good Intentions

Him: I called the limo place in ____ to get a quote today.
Me: And?
Him: $180 for two hours.
Me: What?! That’s absurd. Did you tell them it was for a wedding?
Him: Yes.
Me: There’s the problem, then. You say “wedding” and vendors get dollar signs in their eyes. Never say wedding, they jack up the prices!! You [...]

My Grandma Ain’t the Only One Calling Me “Baby”

The wedding machinery is starting to churn. (The date is December 8, for anyone who [quite understandable] lost track in the 14 months since we got engaged.) I’m already starting to looking forward to December 9, when all this planning and crafting and researching will be finished and I can focus on being married and [...]

How We First Answered Some of the Marriage Counselor’s Questions, Part II

Her: So, how have things been since the last time we met?
Me: Really good … Scott has been hitting me a lot less.
Unfortunately, she’s now accustomed to our snarky comments and they don’t throw her off her game anymore. Thus, we’ve been forced to resort to chest-bumping and high-fiving, which doesn’t translate as well into [...]

On the Crucial Political Topic of My Hair

I recently decided that I would no longer, never ever, wear my hair down (whether straightened or curly) to the office. There are two reasons for this:
1. I am lazy. (And the blow drying and the straightening and the putting products in and the climbing back into bed for 10 minutes to then [...]
