Me: I need a kiss before you leave town for the day! Him: You don’t really need a kiss. You want a kiss. Me: You’d better kiss me now before I go for a run in case you’re already gone when I get back. Him: You understand that if I kiss you now, you’re not getting […]
Love the Boy
I Asked My Husband to Buy Yogurt…
And he did. Then the organizers off-loaded their yogurt supplies after the marathon yesterday. So now our refrigerator looks like this:
His Dessert
The evening before the ice storm, The Boy surprised me by preparing a healthy dessert. We were, you see, at that time still preparing the run the Dallas Marathon (later cancelled due to unsafe conditions). He won’t share the recipe with me (I think he somewhat invented it), but it was a perfect non-fried fried […]
Family Favorite: Angel’s Enchiladas
I told The Boy that I’m going to get organized with our recipes. I’ve written in the past about The List. It’s still important, but it’s become scattered. recipes The Boy loves are on The List, in another notebook and on this blog. It’s a mess. So I told him, as I was snapping a […]
My Husband – The Hero
The guys installing our solar-powered attic fans spotted this: Not good. But luckily I have this guy. And he’s not afraid to take out the enemy to protect his woman and furbabies. Even when the enemy is an angry stinging run-into-the-window kind of creature.
An Interesting Email
This weekend, while idly checking my email, I told The Boy about an interesting email that had just arrived in my work inbox. It was from Santa Claus. Specifically, it was from a professional Santa Claus, introducing my company to his services should we want to hire a Santa (we won’t – we have a […]
More Conversations with The Boy
Some mornings you feel talkative – know what I mean? There’s just a lot to cover and not always a lot of time to cover it in. That was the other morning. I was feeling loquacious. The Boy, however, was not. He was enduring our one-sided conversation. Then suddenly: Shannah! You’ve already used up half […]
Happy Birthday!
I love this guy. I love him more than words can express. It seems very fitting for such a happily co-dependent couple to have birthdays that are just one day apart. We can turn our individual birthdays into one big two-day BIRTHDAYs FEST. Lucky us! But really, lucky me for finding the one person who […]
Weird Things Happen
It seems like every few months (sometimes weeks or days), weird things just happen. Like this text I received from a friend: Just received word of your husband’s passing…I’m so sorry! What do you need/want from us? We love you! I read this aloud to my very-much alive Boy, who happened to be sitting next to me, drinking […]
