To be honest, one of the reasons I wanted to get married was that after more than a decade together, and being in my 40s, calling Jason my "boyfriend" seemed wrong.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think it's funny how many of my friends and their partners call each other "Baby" all the time. Now I'm trying to think about people I know whose spouses I don't know. I think people at work mostly say their names, not "my husband."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I worked at the bakery cooperative in Madison, we had a discussion on what to call partners. Someone mentioned "S.O." and someone else commented that "S.O." made him think of "Special Order." Then we decided that "Special Order" sounded like a cool term to use for a partner....

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sometimes I refer to Joe as Joe, sometimes "my husband", and we call each other "Baby". It really depends on who I am talking to and whether or not I'm pissed at him and in the company of friends.

When I am not at work, I usually call Jason The Dude, as in "Let me check with The Dude and see if we are free that night."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
OH MY GOD INTERNET WHAT THE HELL?
I think we've discovered what my usual coping mechanism is at work.
Plus, there are several parts of my job that really require use of the internet.

I'm starting to wonder if my minion left at lunchtime, since I asked her for one little thing, and she never sent it. Hmph.
Edit: I mean, of course, former minion.

OK, really not motivated to put on fifteen million layers and walk to the pool. But I will.
