Marriage is Not Dating

Now that I’m a wife, I feel a certain responsibility to all the other wives in this world.  Being a wife is being part of a very distinct club of women who have vowed to honor and protect, care for and defend people that are worthy of that kind of affection and devotion.

As a new member of this wife squad, as it were, we are not only upholding the people we chose to marry, we are also upholding the age old institution of marriage.  A big task, clearly, but one that we all considered, agreed to, and in some ways work diligently to achieve.

This is why,  when “stars” like Khloe Kardashian decide to wed their boyfriends of after one solid month of dating, my head spins around 360 degrees.

Fall Fashion Failure: Piece One

As you recall, I went hog wild this weekend and tried to fluff up my wardrobe with some classic, timeless, essential pieces.  This attempt was in a word, fail.  I got a cold from my husband and was in a general bad mood this weekend.  We went to Macy’s with my shopping pass as well as DSW, Target and Marshalls.  While I found things I liked everywhere nothing was speaking to me or my wallet.  Rather than give you all the gore — I will give you what I actually successfully found.  Essential # 4 a slouchy sweater.
