Meet the Husband

June 30, 2010

I don’t talk about my husband enough. I know this because I’ve had male colleagues hit on me after months of being acquainted because they still weren’t aware that I was married. I’m trying to work on that. Obviously you all know that I’m married, but many of you don’t know a thing about the [...]

Rock Star Skirt

May 10, 2010

Conversation at the end of the day: Ben: Why do you still wear that skirt? Kathleen: This skirt? Um, because it’s amazing and makes me look totally rad. Ben: [Sighing] You’re a very pretty girl.

The Walk

April 26, 2010

After my last post, I wanted to share this more positive story.

February 27, 2010

Update: Right after I posted that last post about not being that awesome, Ben invited me to join him on a winter wonderland adventure. We put on tons of layers and then trekked through the snow behind out property’s treeline, following woodchuck footprints to find their burrows.

Of Couches and Christmas Trees. Or, My Husband's Stupid Mouth

January 9, 2010

I’m taking a break from my somber “What’s the Point of Marriage?” series to bring you a stupid and rather pointless story. It is also a scandalous story.

Random Insights from my Journal

November 10, 2009

I recently went through my journals from when I first started dating Ben.  I have kept a journal basically ever since I could write, and they provide a lot of entertainment.  But this time I was specifically looking for insights for this blog. While reading through my journals, I also spent some time reflecting on [...]

A Good Morning

October 6, 2009

I wrote this Sunday morning but didn’t get around to typing and posting it until today. I just had the best wake-up ever. Normally, this is how my mornings go: I begin to surface into consciousness about half an hour after the alarm radio has started playing.  As I continue to flounder into some semblance [...]
