Bookshelf porn. I like this one, though it’s more art than bookshelf. Thanks to the Better Half for the link.

Provincetown, 2010
Posted in Better Half, books, flickr, food, links on May 27th, 2010
We finally had a long-ish weekend away. We spent the weekend in Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod. There was walking– and eating greasy Portuguese sandwiches for breakfast including a custardy-yum pasteis de nata and fabulous fish and chips for dinner one night and another HOMGYUM breakfast oh, there was laughing and […]
A picture is worth more than a thousand words
Posted in Better Half, bipolar, flickr, good things, links, photos, sparkly on Apr 6th, 2010
Well, since my last post, it hasn’t quite been boils, fell beasts and death– but there have been a variety of dramas and ailments. To acknowledge the hard times of late, my Better Half bought me a present on what was– for me– not a Good Friday at all.
Pics, ’cause it happened.
But wait. There is more. […]
Prosaic versification

I drink the coffee the husband’s made for me
at the same time I’m drying my hair and scanning the Times for the headlines.
Eight a.m. is too early to work,
at least that’s what I think.
Getting going takes everything in me some mornings.
The coffee, though– it does make a difference.
(He’s the husband because he is singular.)
The drive […]
Mary, Quite

She wants him to leave for work early on her weekdays off. After all, she spends her whole weekend day off with him or him and his family, every waking moment, practically. Isn’t it fair that she should have some time to herself? Except she misses him when he’s not there—thinks about him, calls him […]
It doesn’t matter who said what.

“It’s snowing outside. What are you going to do about that?”
“Ignore it until it goes away.”
“You are not allowed to usurp my methods of coping.”
“I learned it by watching you, alright? I learned it by watching you!”

Minutes later: “What the hell did I marry a weather witch for if you’re not going to use your powers for my […]
Your weekend moment of Zen
Posted in Better Half, just plain silly, sparkly on Sep 25th, 2009
Your weekend moment of Zen is brought to you by the Better Half, who poured me my FOURTH glass of prosecco not long ago.
It’s true– once the bubbles are gone, it’s no good.
Wishing you all a fizzy weekend with no hangovers.
Kids these days …

The husband upgraded the version of Wordpress I use yesterday, which involved a fair amount of cussing at the site host server– #&*&%^&%$ timed logouts and non-intuitive layout and fucked up contradictory upload and ftp client server sections, GoDaddy can Yo Mama as far as the BH is concerned– and then a certain amount of […]
Doing my democratic duty
Posted in Better Half, just plain silly, links, nerd on Aug 20th, 2009
I was IMing with the BH today, letting him know that I had all the ingredients ready for a french-style salad with fried rounds of goat cheese for dinner (more on that later) and the phone rang. It was an unlisted number, but in the vein of doing things that aren’t actually brave but that […]
The year began with dinner
Posted in Better Half, cooking, flickr, food on Aug 19th, 2009
It’s not lunch a la Peter Mayle, I didn’t get started as early as that, (better late than never) but the BH and I rang in the Yes Year (Damn, that’s hokey, but what else to call it except maybe A Year in JP? Hmm.) on Monday night with my own version of the bruschetta […]
