Husbands Who Blog

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

sometimes i tease Brian because he doesn’t blog. i haven’t lately, but sometimes i refer to him here as my blogless husband. so i’m curious:

blogging wives:

  • does your husband blog?
  • what does he blog about: personal stuff, news & politics, sports?
  • do you read it?
  • who started blogging first?

blogging husbands:

  • what do you blog about?
  • does your wife read your blog?
  • does your wife blog?
  • who started blogging first?

You Are Getting Sleeeeeepierrrr…

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006
i finished my course of Ritalin last Friday. since then, i?ve had to take two?sometimes, three?naps a day! once a day was bad enough because they last 2 hours. this is ridiculous.there was talk about me going to day hospital again because i?m having trouble just doing anything. well, what i?m having difficulty with is fighting my mood states in order to do stuff. it isn?t so bad where i?m not showering for days at a time, but i?m missing meals again or just not eating. and i?ll only go out if Brian?s with me.

coincidentally, for the past 2 years, i?ve been in day hospital (also known as partial, partial hospitalization programs, PHP) at around this time of year. this time, though, we?ll wait for the sleep study results?the next tests are in a couple of weeks. once that?s taken care of, i may not be depressed at all and can have normal sleep.

Mom & Dad’s Visit

Monday, March 6th, 2006

i made it through the in-laws’ visit this weekend. not that i didn’t think i would, but visiting with them wreaks havoc on my anxiety, which is ridiculous because there isn’t anything i should feel anxiety about. Brian’s and my backgrounds and families of origin couldn’t be any more different, but Mom and Dad accept me for who i am and still like me–no, love me–so i don’t know what i get worried about. i mean, we’ve known each other for almost 6 years!

they stayed at a hotel in a nearby suburb because Dad doesn’t like driving into the city. heehee. well, when you live in a town with a population of 5,000, and hardly any traffic, who can blame him? hell, sometimes i don’t like driving in the city, either.

besides, there really isn’t room at our place. we would have given them our bedroom, and Brian and i would have crashed on the futon, but since we still kind of live like college students, i guess that offer isn’t very attractive. ok, not college students–there aren’t empty beer cans and such lying around. maybe grad students. :P

we had brunch on both Saturday and Sunday, and dinner with my mom on Saturday night. they spent Saturday afternoon at our place, and i’m afraid they were bored to tears. Brian kept assuring me that we wouldn’t need to entertain them, but i don’t know–i guess part of my anxiety is about being a good hostess, which i’m sure that i’m not. for one thing, regular readers already know i can’t bake, let alone cook. we don’t even have a table to eat at!

though Dad doesn’t hate cats, he doesn’t particularly like them, either. as soon as he and Mom sat on the couch, Angelo went straight for him and climbed into his lap!

it was a good weekend.

Angelo’s Groupies

Monday, March 6th, 2006

Here he is with one of them. In fact, he was with groupies this entire weekend, but different ones than the one he’s with here. You can kind of see his Harley collar.

Busted! I didn’t think these pictures were appropriate for the Friday Ark. I mean, it is kitty pr0n, after all. Who knew neutered cats can still get erections and masturbate? Not me. :shock:

Angelo Makes it onto TailRank

Saturday, March 4th, 2006

i’d never heard of TailRank before until i saw an incoming link on my dashboard this morning, so i checked it out. TailRank is a site that searches thousands and thousands of blogs looking for really good posts “so you don’t have to!” guess what? Angelo made it on there!!! see? told you he’s a rock star. ;)
