Carbon's Anniversary The Parting Of The Sensory - 8 & 9

Dear Shawn,

Happy 9th Monthiversary!

I skipped writing an 8th Monthiversary post because I felt very stabby toward you during our 8th month of marriage. You started your new job and you hated it and it made you very difficult to live with. My job continued to grow more and more stressful and it made me very difficult to live with. And on top off all that, Wolfgang had surgery (I know it was routine surgery but that didn't stop me from fretting my fool head off) and you started your own audio video design / installation company. So. We kind of hated each other for a while there. Not true hate, mind you, but that horrible angsty hate where you're so mad at the other person but you still love them to bits and it eats you up inside because you don't want to feel bad for the jerkface who made you cry, you want to punch them in the ear. I'm happy to report that no ears were punched in our 8th month of marriage (I call that success!) I'm also happy to report that things have settled down somewhat. Life is still crazy (because it always is and you knew that before you married me so quit yer belly achin') but it's the good kind of crazy. The kind of crazy where we drink too much rum one night and end up playing rock-paper-scissors at 6am the next morning when the pups need to be let out and neither one of us feels able to stand up without vomiting. Good times.

Love you, dude.

  1. Alex and I play rock, paper, scissors every night to see who has to turn off the bedroom light. Turns out he ALWAYS plays the same hand so I ALWAYS win and he cannot figure out how I do it. It makes me smile every time.

  5. I love the term "feeling stabby towards you." In fact, it is my new favorite and I am going to do my best to work it in to conversations. :-D

    Happy 9-monthiversary of being married! That is so cool!

  9. I love this, I do.

    I also think it's very wise of you to skip the missive in the month you felt stabby. You knew you were going to get past it, and you did. Also good you avoided ear punching.
