Beloved and I jumped the broom (literally) thirteen years ago Monday. I know, January? But Maryland weather being what it is, instead of the blizzard that we had every right to expect, the sky was blue; birds were chirping. It was a splendid affair.
A little trivia for ya -- Another January 14 marriage is the short-lived one between Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio.
Apparently, this is our lace anniversary. Does that mean I'm supposed to buy sassy underwear? I gotta think of something clever because belle-mere is leaving for two weeks and there goes our built-in babysitter. Ideas?
I was part of a movement of "dinosaur moms" when I lived in Maryland (Astrodon Johnstoni is the Maryland state dinosaur.) Which is nothing more than this -- dinosaur moms delight in the half-feral nature of the beasties they parent, even as they whisper Shakespeare and Kierkegaard in their ears at night.

Yes, sassy underwear is the way to go. If there were any guy that even knew of the "lace anniversary" I'm certain this would be his only interpretation. Happy #13!
Could there be a more magical phrase in the English language than "belle-mere is leaving for two weeks"? Seriously, that would jump-start our love life, with or without lingerie.
