Omg Let me Tell You (part 2 of 2)

Part 1 is the post right below, but for your convenience, here’s the link because GAH! Am I really going to make you scroll all the way down to the previous post? That’s so inconsiderate. Thus, the link. —————– Saad was

R&R

I had a doctor’s appointment this morning, which is normally the total highlight of my week because that’s how exciting my life has become – being in a cold office with white coats and blue scrubs running around as they

Wife of the Year! (Or Not)

Because I am such a wonderfully thoughtful and perfect wife, I forgot Saad’s birthday, again. I should really add two more “again”s because this is the third year in a row. Someone get me a wife of the year award

Keeping on with the Coupon

As I may or may not have mentioned, we’re financially strapped big time this year. With the plan of getting a bigger car, supporting two sets of living expenses (that’s what a part-time long distance marriage will get you), adding

Lost: My Va-Va-Voom

See that? It scares me that I completely relate to it. One of the many marital advises I received was to not let myself go. You know, to stay smooth, perfumed, and exude “sexy” or at least “healthy” to be
