I love my husband. Most of the time.


Just kidding, but doesn't everyone?

Mike and I have our 10 Year Wedding Anniversary coming up in September. We've been kicking around ideas for a weekend away. Gone are the plans I made a few years ago (an exotic trip where we finally stay in a Four Seasons Hotel, which I've heard is the epitome of luxury). We're thinking of Peurto Rico, but I think we're going to end up in Lake Placid. Surprisingly, with all the time we spend in the Adirondacks, I've never been.

Mike is a great guy, genuinely the nicest guy. We met on line in college, physically on line outside a movie theater, this was years away from facebook, and online dating. He works really hard, and does things like bring home a gift certificate to a spa in Saratoga so I can get a facial. Or buy me a Coach bag for some weird anniversary while we're shopping for other things.

He could talk your ear off for hours (both Luke and Eliza have inherited this trait), and is really trying to stop smoking. But the biggest thing that drives me nuts is that he snores. I can't count the number of hours of sleep I have lost over the years because of this. I'm talking LOUD, sleep apnea sounding gasping snoring that startles me out of bed. These are the times we fight, in the dark, with one of us stomping off to the spare bedroom to get some sleep.

I was looking around for Father's Day gifts, and came across a "chin sling" that helps end snoring. I am soooo tempted to get it, but I think I'll stick with the satellite radio subscription instead.

What movie was it?

Pretty Woman, vintage Julia Roberts! I went with a girl from my dorm who went to high school with Mike. She introduced us.

have you tried Breathe Right strips? otherwise, a good firm elbow whack often does wonders in this house...

tried the Breathe Right...he claims they make him "break out." I've gone so far as to pinch his nose closed for a second or two.
