But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

we haven't killed each other yet.

Hubby and I tell people that we got married so as to spare two perfectly nice other people the fate of being married to one of us.

Also, we say, "We won't get divorced. One of us may be starring in a murder trial, but there won't be a divorce. One day the cops may show up and find a nasty mess and two cats hiding on top of the bookshelves."

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I feel like the complete opposite. I got married at 19, had 2 kids, a dog, even a frickin picket fence. It took a long time being unhappy before I finally accepted the idea that I didn't have to stay in that relationship. I'm much happier now though I do get waves of loneliness. As much as I'd like to meet someone, I think I'm still in that rebuilding me stage and am not really ready. Who knows. Only time will tell.

Jilli, it's early. Perhaps they are still sleeping?

I am clinging to that faint hope, but I've been contacting the drummer/press person through various means for a week now. I suspect the band decided they didn't want to do the interview, and the drummer hasn't bothered to tell me. sulk sulk sulk

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Kathy, I think dancing and flirting with sexy foreigners is perfectly cromulent (and fun!) way to ease back in...if you want to.

I didn't get married till 25, and it's been just the two of us. There were some issues re: kids, but I was adamant that we were going to much more financially and living arrangements secure before bringing kids into the mix, and if it didn't happen by the time I hit 30, then it wasn't going to happen. I got a lot of pushback from in-laws, but being unmovable on that was the smartest thing I've done in this life. Trying to cope with pre-teens when Hubby's health collapsed would probably have broken me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My friend's band was touring with them, so I thought maybe I could ping him and have him ping them for you, but they just finished their stint, looks like. Musicians can be flaky. Give it some time, it may still come together.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm going to be traveling with my mom, so foreign nookie is off the table

I was gonna say...there are definitely ways, and moms have ways of being clueless when it's in their interest to be so. At least mine does.

I feel like I've joined the 21st century! Sox and I just did a video hangout on G+. Very cool. Almost as good as F2F.
