Dear Sillies,
I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya, that December arrived. Who invited December? That cheery, fat alcoholic on the North Pole? I mean, it wasn't me.
Needless to say, I hope that you're faring well, staying as warm as possible (and/or as cool as possible for our friends in Australia), and feeling reasonably good about the approaching festivities.
It's not all easy-peasy here --with health worries and procedures, with the passing of friends/acquaintaneces, with the general strife of life, work, ecsetera. I say this so as to NOT be one of those annoying people who pubicizes their "perfect" life and "world's best" relationship.
Justin Two and I, however, are doing alright. We do occasionally snicker and bicker. But he's a good one. I'm a good one. Mostly sometimes on occasion. Smiles.
We've made it to 18 months. We're 1.5 years old! I know. I can't believe it. To celebrate, we went to the Sierra Nevada foothills this past weekend (Grass Valley). It was raining hard, but that was okay. It meant we "had to" stay in a cozy room and relax. Or go out for food and warm drinks.

I found this cheapie ring in a store there. Justin Two purchased it and put it on my (wedding) ring finger. He then declared us Permanently Engaged. Woohoo! (We've both been burned by marriage. CA divorce settlement laws are twisted and antiquated, too. Thus, we plan to never marry.)
I'm loving my pretty P.E. ring.
Be well, Sillies.
Woo Hoo. Thank you for adding a note of cheer (and of love) to a very stressful time of year. And I love your ring too.
ReplyDeleteI'm fortunate that I'm able to. You're appreciated, EC, now and all the year through.
DeleteGlad the two of you are rocking strong. Hey, never say never...
ReplyDeleteWell, for JT's sake, I say "never." But I know you're right. You always are. Thank you. =)
DeleteYear and a half - that's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane. I'm impressed. He's rather patient. <3
DeleteWait a minute! You're dating someone?! I don't know about this. I'll get back to you with an opinion. 😆
ReplyDeleteI believe you read about him at the end of InSanity, my friend. We were newbies then. Now we're mid-toddlerhood.
DeleteEighteen months is great! "Permanently engaged" is a fine status to have!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debra. I'm honored to have your approval and support.
DeleteHugs.
Congratulations on the permanent engagement and on 1-1/2 years!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mitchell! xx
DeletePermanent engagement sounds like a lovely level of commitment. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI think it's fitting. Thank you, Liza. I hope you're well.
DeleteCongratulations on your permanent engagement! The Grass Valley and Nevada City areas are nice, sorry the weather was bad but I expect you enjoyed yourselves anyway. And, as I'm writing this the day after the Georgia elections, we can rest easy to know there will be no werwolves in the Senate.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know, Jeff. What a relief! Whoosh. Thanks for the reminder. Be well and warm.
DeleteThank you blog admin for this wonderful post,As a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from PCOS & Gastro Disorder and herpes, I decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy wife suffered pcos in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my everything and the symptoms were terrible, she always complained of heavy menstruation, and she always had difficulty falling asleep . We tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and I saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many others with similar body problems, and they left the contact of this doctor who has the cure to pcos . I never imagined polycystic ovary syndrome. has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it and in one months time she was fully okay even up till this moment she is so full of life. polycystic ovary syndrome. has a cure and he has herbal cure for Herpes,HIV/Aids,Diabetes,Neuro Disease,Cancer,Back Pain,COPD,Parkinson, and other disease you can visit Dr Itua herbal center website to read more www.drituaherbalcenter.com or email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks admin for such an informative blog.
Me thinks you suffer, honey, from TMI.
DeleteFirst off, I'm impressed that you actually decided to answer a spammers post, as opposed to nuking it. Secondly, permanently engaged sounds quite the modern equivalent of a common law marriage. Also sounds like something my daughter might become some years down the road.
DeleteThank you, doll. I love it too, and I was surprised to finally find a ring in my size that I didn't have to get fitted.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful! You look adorable together.
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet Martha. So good to see you here again.
DeleteThe ring is pretty and you guys are priceless . My wedding ring costed sixty rupees exactly six dollars in 1971, He liked it and I love it. That's all. .
ReplyDeletecongrats on being a duo. Your smiles say it all. Cheers to non-conforming. Just laugh - that's the best! Hugs all around.
ReplyDeleteHugs and gratitude to you, Joanne.
DeleteI misses this until nappy non anniversary, non engagement. May you both love every moment you are together e en when you bicker. My hubby and I have made an art out of bickering.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Birgit. As long as he ultimately admits that you're right, right? Love to you.
