Is like the Mid Atlantic without proper preparation for an ENORMOUS snow storm.
As you might or might have not noodled through, we dear readers, are stranded in Florida.
And by stranded, I mean happily extending our vacation in a subtropical climate by way of the Snow Apocalypse that is happening in Northern VA.
Internal Baby Radar

Recently, a portion of the Old Town Book Club met to eat some chips and salsa at a Guapos that is not in fact almost in Maryland. At said event was the new baby V, whom we all met right before Christmas. This new little family is quite mobile despite the youngest member being under 2 months old. I’m wildly impressed by Miss M and her parenting skillz. Dad isn’t doing so shabby either.
Miss H is a natural.
It was after holding V for a long stretch of time, administering a bottle and doing the general coochycooing that one does over the smallest human being ever that I asked myself, am I ready for this?
Hola, Mickey!

Today, MB and I are romping around the most magical place on earth!
As I mentioned earlier this week, this marks our first out of state vacation together as husband and wife. What is more miraculous is this is the first time MB and I have ever traveled on a plane together.
Thank you, Emily Post

I am a HUGE fan of Emily Post. Huge. As in defer to her for every social conundrum one could ever dream up.
So, as my thank you writing time draws to a close {showers, wedding, Christmas, and birthday} I thought that I would revisit EP’s guidelines for writing thank yous.
Super Thrilling

Two things have recently occurred that have left me feeling absolutely buoyant {can you tell I’m reading Julia Childs’ biography?}
First, we did our tax returns yesterday. While the state of VA felt that over $3,000 paid was not NEARLY enough, the Federal Government made up for it and then some. And then some to the tune of completely paying for Their Wedding’s photography package! It was a happy day in la casa de Wife and Blog.
Thank you John + Kimberly. And the President.
Other special thanks go to MICHELLE of Desultory Diversions for imparting on me my FIRST EVER BLOG AWARD. EEEeeee! I gleefully accept Michelle’s happy blog award! I have so many people to thank. First, my parents for the unending entertainment that leads to hours of blog fodder. My husband, for putting up with me constantly screaming “THIS WILL BE SO GREAT FOR THE BLOG” and pretty much ruining every moment of our lives since getting engaged. My friends, especially Anna, Mrs. Cook and Msheed who coach me electronically through the day and read religiously. Kanye West for educating the nation on how terrible Taylor Swift really is — I get you Kanye, she’s a no talent hack and the public was too hard on you and your crazy self. Call me. And finally, my virtual friends. People I’ve never laid eyes on who are supportive and wonderful and absolutely charming. I love you.
Part of the rules of the award receiving is that I pass it on. I will pay it forward Michelle style and give the award to 5 Very Deserving Blogs. In no particular order, Wife and Blog’s award for Happy Blog go to:
I read these blog religiously {sometimes I check back more than once a day, hoping they’ve posted more…so shameful} and they make me VERY happy!
Hooray! Thank you again, Michelle. I’ve been fully enjoying YOUR blog and hope that we become internet besties immediately.
Have you had a super thrilling Tuesday?

MB and I are going on our first out of state trip together {not counting those to PA, cause you know those totally don’t count} which will involve an airplane, sunshine and Mickey Mouse. But we’ll get to that.
The point today is that when we got up this morning, there was no dog trying to hog either of our pillows, licking our hands and/or wagging his tail in our faces. Kanga went to stay with my parents.
W&B Loves: The Death of a President

I only had to watch it once. After 647 pages and 40 seconds my life would never ever be the same.
I am officially obsessed with JFK.
Defending Their Honor
January 29, 2010 at 2:49 pm | In marriage | Leave a CommentTags: MB
This is going to be a quick one, as in 45 minutes we’re headed to PA to spend some quality time with my family. It’s been since CHRISTMAS and they have been holding my Cricut hostage. To avenge!
Speaking of avenging — how do you handle situations where your spouse or significant other has been hurt? Especially when it might not be your business to get involved. Do you feel that it is your business because they are your SO and jump to their aid OR to you wait for them to ask for advice/help/support?
As you can guess, I leap without looking — but I’m anxious to hear how the rest of your defend your love’s honor.
Have a great weekend!
{PS – TMI Thursday pending…I was in training yesterday and don’t worry, I’m now RIPE with TMI instances.}
On Divorce
January 28, 2010 at 11:51 am | In marriage | 6 CommentsTags: divorce
Last week I was horrified to learn that John Edwards did in fact father the child of his mistress. GROSS.
What I cannot really wrap my head around is how gracious Elizabeth Edwards {you know his wife dying of cancer, mother of his two legit children} has been through everything. No word on how she’s handling the latest news, but I can only imagine it’s with extreme grace. Per usu.
I admire most that the D word never came into play. Divorce.
My Choice but It’s Not My Choice

Recently, it has been brought to my attention that Focus on the Family is running an ad during the Super Bowl. According to the NY Times Media Blog:
…the commercial would feature Tim Tebow, the college football star, and his mother, Pam Tebow, sharing a personal story in the vein of “Celebrate family, celebrate life.”In the past, Mrs. Tebow has spoken of a decision she made to give birth to Tim rather than having an abortion as she was advised by doctors.
Fantastic.
