My Dog on Stuff: Fruit Bats Love Fruit Edition
And you're surprised why, exactly?
Caught on tape! Hand in the till! Hand in the till!1!!
Honest to jebus though, he LOVES fruit. Bananas, mangos, apples, and ESPECIALLY Larabars. I’m a fruit bat, you do the math, lady.
Something is very… not normal with this “dog.”
A Month of Love: Making it Good, Making it Work, Making it Last
Over the past several months I’ve had a number of friends ask me about my relationship with Charlie, about how we do it.
Oh, get your mind out of the gutter – not THAT kind of “do it” (though, to an extent, that’s relevant)! No, they mean ”do” the relationship. They want to know how it is that after a few years together we’re still so absurdly, stupidly moon-y and in love. How does that work – in practical terms and otherwise? How do we navigate problems and issues and make our relationship healthy and happy on a daily basis? One dear single friend wrote:
TEACH ME. Please please please tell me how you guys make it work… what frictions you have, how you work through crapola, how your daughter gets on with him. In short, tell me that there is Someday Hope, or that it’s all an appalling ruse and you are horribly malcontent.
Snapshots: January Photo Challenge Edition (Part 4)
I finished up a day early, such is my over-exuberant enthusiasm for this photo challenge. I’ve decided to keep at it, and to do the February challenge, too. So, you know, I hope you like pictures and stuff.
The couple that goes on weird meal plans together stays together
On Friday, out of nowhere, he said, “I’m thinking of doing that 4 Hour Body thing. Can you lend me the book?”
I looked at him, equal parts dubious and incredulous. This is not a man who needs to lose weight. “But WHY?” I asked.
“I’ve put on a few pounds this winter, ” he replied, tapping his completely non-existent anti-belly. “I want to give it a shot.”
“You realize there’s no bread on this diet, right? No bread, no pastries, no sugar. Nothing” I said, in ominous and foreboding tones. “And you’re, like, a baker. Did I mention no bread?”
“Just give me the goddamn book.”
“Fine.”
And this is how we came to be doing That 4 Hour Body Thing, aka the Slow Carb diet, together.
Notes on a weekend getaway
Charlie and I spent this weekend in Annapolis, Maryland’s adorable state capitol (seriously, “colonial” and “quaint” were never paired so well). Here’s our trip in pictures:
PS: Apologies for the site downtime yesterday. My host had some kind of catastrophic web aneurysm (webeurysm?), and as a result my server was offline for pretty much the entire day. [insert disgruntled grumbling here] All better now though!
