So I was going to blog about something else a little more serious, but before I do that I had to mention that it’s Devon’s birthday today!! He is 31 today. He’s not a big birthday person (whereas I am), so we typically spend his birthday rather quietly, which is what he wants. I took …

Unconscious Coupling
That was my ode to Gwyneth Paltrow. Don’t worry, it’ll never happen again. I’m trying to figure out when we became the couple that had almost all “couple friends”. The majority of the people we hang out with most often are couples, so much so that we rarely use the terms “my friends” or “your …
Guys are weird.
Someone should have told me this before I lived with one. Actually, a lot of people said it, but that’s beyond the point right now. For example, he will seriously stare at the crock pot for an hour, if I let him, after he puts food in to make sure it’s started cooking. He then …

Reader Question: Fighting

Being Grateful
I just found out today that someone I know is seeking a protective order and a divorce from her spouse because he’s been physically harmful to her. And that this wasn’t the first time he’s done this. I lived that growing up with my parents. My father was forcibly removed from our home when I …
