31, 13

Good morning, interwebs.

I have been lurkey as of late, I know.  Forgive me future mamas, for I have lurked.  I have been silently in your front hedge with night vision goggles and a jar of vaseline, but I haven't made a peep so you and I don't even get the benefit of you being creeped out.  I'm working on it.

I am not... depressed.  I've had fleeting thoughts of "holy shit me in an alternate universe I would be 7+ months pregnant right now" but seeing as how I am mostly a cold hearted robot I still don't have anything to offer that thought, really, other than numbness.

I haaaave been having one of those marriage-renaissances that are awesome.  Bub and I are one of those weirdly happy married couples (don't get me wrong, we're fucking miserable jackasses in all other regards, but together we're happy... like that pair of old curmudgeon old men in the muppets.  We should all take a moment and be glad they found each other. ::bowing head in silent gratitude::).  Just one of those periods where I can't get enough of him.  Last night we spent a good hour naked in bed chitter-chatting about nonsense such as the HR lady in his office who every time she takes a sip of her drink, regardless of the beverage, looks at the bottom of the bottle and swishes it around.  I don't know if I'll ever be able to sleep again not knowing why she does that.

Those are the kinds of random, unplanned, not particularly exciting yet totally spectacular moments that make me think you know what, I'm happier just with Bub than most people are with their husbands and a brood of kids.  Someday should we have a state-of-the-art Bub-Stork hybrid, I'm thinking that'll put the kibosh on uninterrupted nudey time discussing people's crazyisms, and I'll miss it.

Mostly I'm sick of, and I think we can all collectively groan here which is part of why I love you, the endless barrage of happy news streaming through the common devil we all share known as FertileBook.


I'm thinking this is maybe just the silence before I take 2013 and make it my bitch.

Tomorrow I turn 31 in the year 13.  That's gotta be lucky, right?  Inverted numbers, 13 no less?  And my lucky number is 4.  It has to mean something, surely.... Okay fine but if I were wearing my super thick glasses instead of my contacts and was using a pointer to gesture instead of a cigarette you all would think this was brilliant.

This is how 30 started - such promise.



Ahh, there she is, innocent little drunken Jenny on a cold afternoon in January of 2012. Starting the year off right with drag queens and blow job shots.

30 was the year I lost 30 lbs.

30 was the year I had my first IVF which ended in early miscarriage.

30 was the year I celebrated my 6th wedding anniversary and 9 years of being with Bubba the Magnificent.

30 was the year I started a blog.

30 was the year a naughty mutt named Luna tapdanced her way into our hearts.

30 was the year Towanda the Honda died, and she was replaced with the Batmobile.

30 definitely had some positive moments for which I am grateful, but 30 was overall not so hot.

30 will pale in comparison to 31.

31 in 2013 is my year, people, I am fucking due.

  4. I'm so glad that my husband and I are not the only married couple who has long naked conversations about nothing. I'm convinced there is a positive correlation between that and happiness in marriage.

  11. I want to start my year with drag queens and blow job shots (whatever those are)!! How do I make this happen?

  12. "Marriage-Renaissance." Love it. That's how good marriages work. Even though we have moments of frustration, annoyance, and all out craziness, we come back together and just enjoy BEING together. Love your story about talking naked in bed. Great :)

    Also, blow jobs and drag queens are the only way to welcome in #30. How will you welcome 31? I can tell you, as a 31-and-one-month-year-old, that it's not as exciting as 30 was.

  13. Fuck you. Now all I can think about is why in bobble-headed-jesus-on-a-dashboard's name does she do that peeky swirly thing with her drinks? Every single time? I would bring her drinks just to see if it's every single time. has anyone pointed it out to her? Nah, her world would collapse as she probably doesn't even realise she does it. People. Are. Wierd. But now I'm wondering if there's something that I do that makes people think 'The fuck does she do that for?' Happy birthday too, dude!

  14. I fully believe that 31 in 13 is lucky. I have been trying to start this year off with drag queens (I am obsessed with going to drag brunch since I learned about it's existence from you) but have yet to make it happen. I must make it happen.

  16. Happy happy early birthday! I do hope 2013 is your lucky year (and for whatever its worth, I have a good feeling about it for you).

    I can shed some light on the swirly drink thing, cause I do it and it annoys the crap out of my husband. I swirl to make sure no crap/things that shouldn't be in there float up to the top before I drink. It also is a strange procrastination method in which I contemplate in that two second swirl whether I would like another sip. Its wierd, I know.

    Happy belated anniversary as well! It makes me happy to see a really truly happily married couple out there!
