I’m walking by the Better Half, who’s washing dishes at the sink. All of a sudden, as I’m just past him, he backs up, and right into me. I pat him on the tush a few times, and he takes one IPod ear bud (I-Bud?) out of his ear, looks at me, and says “don’t [...]

that the BH somehow made me go out and get cold cuts on foot, uphill, both ways, while he did something irrelevant, I should clarify yesterday’s post. The BH has a car in the driveway that needs work in order to be sold, and a series of calamities of no one’s making have prevented [...]

(Sleeping.)
RING! RING! The phone rings like the Last Trumpet’s Sounding, causing me to nearly hit the ceiling, I jumped so high.
BLC: Aghh! (Gets out of bed, runs to phone.) Hello? (In sexy, groggy, froggy voice.)
Brother of BH: Hello, Miss BLC! How are you today?
BLC: Oh … hi … Brother-in-law.
BroBH: Did I wake you? I’m sorry! [...]

My dad and I get along like gangbusters now, and I’m fortunate that he and the BH like and respect each other. That said, he’s sometimes of a melancholy/quiet/taciturn/curmudgeonly disposition, so we often go on nature walks with a particular goal in mind, so there’s something to talk about or organize ourselves and our [...]

A couple of you asked how the Better Half and I met, so without further ado…
We met over 10 years ago (we’ve been married a little over 7) at a luncheon that my law school put on for admitted students. Sort of a “please come here” sales pitch. The BH had also gotten [...]

The aim of all my cooking, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
I have, at various times, been more than a little emotionally repressed. Except when I cook– never then. Every time I get out the pots and pans, every time I pick up the knife, it’s meant as an expression of love. [...]

The Better Half received a mailer from one of the Lasik eye places that are expanding into the area. In addition to the ringing endorsement of Tiger Woods on one side of the mailer, there was a can’t-believe-it’s-true credit offer– thirty dollars per eye per month, plus interest, subject to terms and restrictions, as [...]

A few observations…
doing the crossword in pen drives the husband nuts
it’s worth buying a good bed if you’re ever going to be in it for a week straight
they just don’t make them like Lee Stetson anymore
all herbal teas start to taste the same after the fiftieth cup
god bless Puffs Plus
I’m actually hungry for the first [...]

I never believed in love at first sight
soul mates, destiny and all that stuff
but it’s true that there was something
that first time we met. And the second.
And the third. Fate or something kept
putting you in my path once we met.
And though I, unknowing, took a detour
off the road we’d set out upon, together,
you waited by [...]

Thanks to the Better Half, who listened to Round I: Gamester of Ireland is Fine on the “Quiz Show” episode of This American Life, and told me I had to listen too. It’s the story of a shy irishman who lived an essentially reclusive life up until the point at which he won $250,000.00 on [...]
