http://happilyhers.wordpress.com Jade and Lizzie against the world Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:28:37 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Yay! My sweetie is coming home. She should be here in maybe 45 minutes, though I won't see her until later in the night. I spent some time with her up at the new place last weekend. But somehow it's just as exciting to have her coming home to our home, ... http://happilyhers.wordpress.com/2008/08/29/coming-home/ It seems very odd to me that until just a couple of months ago, when we got legally married, Jade and I were fairly closeted about our relationship at work. Those who know us well, of course, already knew. And a few people on the outskirts suspected. But now I ... http://happilyhers.wordpress.com/2008/08/27/the-ways-we-change/ I started putting the word out for boxes at work. I view it in the same light as I do a recent purge of my cubicle: it's positivity and looking toward the future. Might as well be prepared. Anyway, I tried to avoid an outgoing supervisor on my way out last ... http://happilyhers.wordpress.com/2008/08/22/oops/ I'm reading my myYahoo! page this morning, and I run across this, listed under "Odd News": Now on the Hallmark aisle: Gay marriage cards By SARAH SKIDMORE, AP Business Writer Sarah Skidmore, Ap Business Writer – Thu Aug 21, 7:11 am ET ... http://happilyhers.wordpress.com/2008/08/21/kiss-my-odd-ass/ Is it sick that I Google stuff like "mothers who hate their lesbian daughters" to feel close to my own mother, who I haven't really talked to in weeks now? I understand that's too simplistic. She doesn't hate me. She just hates this thing she thinks I've become. She doesn't understand ... http://happilyhers.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/the-ties-that-bind/ One of my friends was born without tact. And apparently I have the added bonus of being her defacto information source on the circus sideshow that is lesbianism. Even though I still am learning the ropes. Even though I've only had one partner. Even though I'm an outsider looking in. Conversation ... http://happilyhers.wordpress.com/2008/08/18/lack-of-tact/ My sweetie was telling me, over e-mail, how much she missed me. During the last couple of days, we haven't had much time to speak on the phone; most of our communication has been e-mail. So I miss her too. I told her to cut it out because I haven't cried ... http://happilyhers.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/my-sweetie/ This morning, I woke up bright and early, intending to get a bunch of stuff done. I lazed around a bit and then was seriously planning a 9 a.m. swim. I started writing a list of stuff to do, because marking stuff off a list gives you a tangible sense ... http://happilyhers.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/more-progress/ Yay! I'm making progress -- OK, slight progress -- in getting things in order. I think it helps that I'm alone because I'm able to focus. Also, when I'm alone, I don't have anyone making me feel guilty because I'm not doing anything. I've cleaned downstairs. I'm on top of the ... http://happilyhers.wordpress.com/2008/08/14/progress/ I'm taking it one day at a time, to use a loathesome cliche. I realized tonight as I was at work, that I am pretending that Jade just isn't here today, not that she's gone forever. I glanced at her vacated desk, most traces of her gone forever. I've been in a ... http://happilyhers.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/one-day/
