…my marriage vows.
Word on the street is that TechBoo has already started on his.
It’s like, “physician heal thyself.” Kinda. I can write other stuff in my sleep. But this…not so much.
I’ll just procrastinate some more, and go find a poem for Li’l Mama (my oldest future bonus daughter) to read. Let this marinate…
I’m fairly certain that I’ve posted a blog entry with this exact title before. Because it’s true. I’ve always been blessed with good friends, even though many times in my life I’ve nevertheless felt alone in the world. After my mom, grandmother, and dad died in 2005, which coincided with the break up of my [...]
A big part of why my relationship with TechBoo works is that aside from the unavoidable issues related to the distance, we each function the same way we would as if we were living under the same roof full-time. In other words, we work together on the mundane, the logistical, and the drudgery too. Effective [...]
I love it when Baby Girl and Mini-Me get to spend time with TechBoo. I get tired just watching them. So much energy and joy.
Thanks, as always, to El Ex for making this possible. Because he acts like a grown up and doesn’t disparage TechBoo (or me, for that matter) to our girls, the girls [...]
This station break from reading/review writing is brought to you by…my future stepdaughter #1. What shall I call her on this blog??? Hmm.
I got it: Li’l Mama.
So…my day started with a nice little chat with Li’l Mama. I’m still looking for a poem for her to read during our wedding ceremony. In all our giddiness, [...]
…the sound of TechBoo* shoveling nearly two week’s worth of ice and snow to clear our walks is giving me life right now.
That is all.
*Photo is not of my actual TechBoo. The gentleman pictured is a “garage attendant” according to Flickr.
I got the Best. Valentine’s. Day. Gift. EVER.
From TechBoo, of course. He TOTALLY gets me. This is why I love this man.
I got him a bunch of cards from this hilarious collection.
And I sent this one to a few folks who I knew would appreciate it:
Well, so much for the weekend getaway with TechBoo. We had to reschedule that due to a forecast of up to 2 feet (yes, feet) of snow here in the DMV area. But thankfully, my flight arrived before Southwest (the official airline of our relationship) stopped operation in preparation for the impending snow dump.
TechBoo is [...]
Why is today made of awesome sauce, you ask? Why is it gonna be lovely?
First, this afternoon, El Ex and I are signing on the dotted line with our fabulous agent, Danielle Chiotti of Upstart Crow Literary Agency. Danielle will rep up us, shopping our co-parenting book proposal around to publishing houses. Fingers crossed for [...]
“You’re super-smart and a great writer, so…”
I love conversations that start out like that. I love it even more when the remainder of the conversation isn’t someone trying to get me to write for free.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what has happened more than a few times after I hung out my proverbial shingle and offered up [...]
