Happy Friday, which is also National Road Trip Day, National Cooler Day, and MOST importantly, the 16th anniversary of WM packing up his Jeep and driving from Michigan to my Dee-luxe Apartment in the Sky to start our lives together after a scant long-distance internet relationship. In hindsight, we were both very stupid and risky but it worked out so we try not to dwell on how ridiculous it was. It's been a delightful week off. I had my hair done, I worked on some projects around the house, ...

Six years ago these goofballs said "I do." It's a good thing to be married to your favorite person. Not everyone gets to say that. Happy Anniversary, WM. :) ...
My ceramic Christmas tree
I received a lot of fantastic gifts for Christmas (Alex and Ani! A terrarium! Cashmere hat & gloves!), but I want to spotlight one in particular. When I was young, every single house I knew had a ceramic Christmas tree. They were maybe 18" tall (but varied), with glass or plastic bulbs stuck into them, and then lit with a light bulb on the inside. Some were handpainted, some were factory produced. My grandmother and my mom had them. Mom's broke. MomMom's was passed onto someone who cared more ...

Today is our second wedding anniversary. Things are splendid and love abounds, so I think I'll re-up for another year. Happy anniversary, Sweetie. You are good stuff! ...
Sweet merciful crap!
I'm getting married in a month. That's all. Oh, and I have a Pinterest board about it. Sweet merciful crap! ...
14
Post-divorce anniversaries are awkward. The date itself has never failed to trigger a reaction. I know it's April 5th. It's part of my blood. I can't forget it. The strange part is that because I stopped counting each year (or in the early part, half-years), I have to do the math to figure out how many it would have been. 2011 - 1997 is 14. 14. On this day I tip my virtual hat to BvP and hope he's doing well, wherever the tides have taken him. ...
Bless me Internet, for I live in sin
Yeeeeeeah. So it's been a while. And there's a 500-lb elephant sitting in the middle of my blog that I have to acknowledge. The Wandering Minstrel (who is much cuter than a 500-lb elephant) has moved out here to NJ. He's here in ChezGypsy with me. And I really haven't found a good way to tell you. Sure, I've hinted hither and yon about his visits and things we've done together. Flowers for my birthday and Valentine's day. That kind of stuff. But as much as I can blog about personal things as ...
Valentine's Day 2007
Daisies are my favorite flowers. Hope springs eternal. From my cell phone!Multimedia message Flowers by the Wandering Minstrel. ...
Baby it's cold outside
But I'm in and out anyway. Why? Because a certain Minstrel has Wandered his way into town. Again. And we're again doing some wandering together. This...this is nice. :) :) ...
Devils/Red Wings game
From my cell phone!Multimedia message A certain minstrel wandered into town this weekend. So we wandered together to see my Devils beat his red wings. Edited to add: Red Wings 2, Devils 1. Wandering Minstrel comments banned. ;) ...
