I am already a Black woman who lives in an open carry state, so I've promised #ThisManImMarriedTo I won't pop off.

So, I'm trying to learn not to just "do" things for my mom and husband, which is my nature. Last night, #ThisManImMarriedTo decided he wanted nachos. I told him the chef was off duty (after making enchiladas and Mexican rice from scratch!)

"OK. I can make them!"

Cheese on chips. That was it. I 🤐

Rant incoming because I need some place to put this so please, feel free to ignore!

Trying to be a supportive wifey since #ThisManImMarriedTo is making an effort to salvage a relationship with one sibling who's coming for a visit this week. Why he's coming, I don't know because there's 1/

#ThisManImMarriedTo forgot he's married to a #Virgo. He thinks it's cute to keep changing the background on our family chat, like I won't just change it back.

OK, my DUDES...my straight married dudes, we need to talk.

I spent two days in the Emergency Department recently. Lots of downtime, and lots of people-watching time. And having spent time in another ED, then hospital with my mom in January, and tons of medical appointments with #ThisManImMarriedTo

#ThisManImMarriedTo lurved TPIR and is so angry!

#AryaTheNewfie has been acting like Heimdall, keeping watch over me since I came home. She got her
Spring shear since high temps came early this year.

She looked at #ThisManImMarriedTo like “You shall not pass.”

side of this coin, like this woman in the article, is the insistence that one is "abnormal" and a sibling is a must. #ThisManImMarriedTo is one of three and was more only child minded than evenme, an actual only child. Only doesn't mean lonely. If you know, you know and do what's right for you.

I've refrained from saying much about the #Guthrie kidnapping. From the jump, it felt "off", which is what I've consistently told my bestie and #ThisManImMarriedTo. He's become some combo of Benoit Blanc and Keith Morrison following every new development.

So, I've recently learned about nonenal odor thanks to #ThisManImMarriedTo and whatever pops up in his news feed, which, of course, means I hear about it.

Not that it's inherently silly, but in the context of the people who already think proper bathing is "optional". 1/

#ThisManImMarriedTo and I each had our titers checked. Mine showed I still have immunity. His showed he didn't, got re-vaxxed. Make no assumptions. Each of our providers did it as part of routine labs.

I had to put this somewhere and I don't need #ThisManImMarriedTo getting himself pissed off to where he'll want to come with me and be ready to throw down with cousin/uncle because that is exacty what he'd do! He's so over my Aunt. He deals with similar with his brother about their dad.

#ThisManImMarriedTo wouldn't even let me decorate these before snatching his and getting busy! Was going to do a chocolate drizzle and edible glitter. Happy New Year! #LavaCakes

all of his favorite superhero and cartoon characters which has continued to be put up every year even though he hasn't lived with us since college. And BTW, he loved it. I handmade a tree-skirt that neither he nor #ThisManImMarriedTo will EVER let me replace! But I digress.

I hate it when a reel pops into a social, and then can't find it again.

At any rate, last night, one did, featuring interracial couples (non-white women/white men) about paper towels and if it isn't my life with #ThisManImMarriedTo !

the night of the funeral when everything was done, #ThisManImMarriedTo came over and just hugged me and let me snot ugly cry all over him. He understood without me saying a word.

My mom understands and supports that I can’t do it again. I’ll have a Mass said for her but that’s it.

I promised #ThisManImMarriedTo one of his faves for Halloween. First time from scratch vs the Kraft caramels which are a PITA to unwrap. #HappyHalloween #Samhain

#ThisManImMarriedTo just sent me this.

Bluesky Friends, thank you so very much for the lovely birthday wishes yesterday. I'm great at celebrating others. Being celebrated? Not so much! Truly overwhelmed by the love. 🥰💞

#ThisManImMarriedTo very specifically didn't want a doormat wife.

And look who has buyers remorse for getting sucked into trad wife servitude?

Meloni is known (even by #ThisManImMarriedTo) as my play husband.

But I’ve never been team Bensler or whatever their couple name is. They’re more like siblings to me. I know I’m in the minority.

#ThisManImMarriedTo has not always understood my public pool-ick factor. I can't keep his Pisces ass out of the water, but I can keep my Virgo ass out. I can handle pools OK, but hot tubs? 🤢

Surgery was done in hospital, generally no overnight stay requred. The absolute worst part is one night with a catheter they insert during the procedure.

I'm not saying it's nothing. If it helps, #ThisManImMarriedTo does NOT do well with medical stuff and handled it like a champ.

Sharing is caring so that's the spirit in which this thread is written.

NOTE: This is NOT a request for input. Nor is it medical advice.

#ThisManImMarriedTo is fine with me sharing because he's rejected his family of origin's dysfunctional communication.
