Hi! I have gotten some very interesting emails this week. My personal favorites are the ones where guys are asking about my husband’s job. Nothing about girls or marriage. No, no. Just questions about jobs and money.

This post is mainly for the guys out there. I got my first Guy Feedback that I am mean and materialistic! You are probably saying it in a joking way, as in “you’re so mean” being sarcastic code for “you’re sooooo tolerant and nice based on what I read on your blog.” If you [...]

Wow, it’s 1:30am, and my poor husband is still at work. I am so glad I already posted the mean post about how he wasted a lot of money, because I would feel kind of bad about posting it now…Well, not that bad I suppose. Who am I kidding? I love mean posts about guys, [...]

Oh my gosh. I just saw through the news that 22,000 more people are jobless. It’s so hard when the husband/live-in beau has no job. (But fun when I don’t have one…sorry if that sounds catty, but I have earned the right to say it. Also, I currently do have a job, actually 3 of [...]

I have a story that really illustrates my husband’s understanding of budgets and finances. (I should add beforehand that he is very good at saving money. He is not a big spender type. So, those are the good points. Now to the others.)
My husband’s mother has this ongoing battle over property that belonged to her [...]

Well, I must admit, I sure have missed my husband this week. He’s living in our new place in Northern California, and we are following him there soon. Because this blog was created solely for the purpose of me to complain about annoying habits, I don’t often mention how handsome and unbelievably sweet my husband [...]

Husband Meanness of the Day:
After my husband got out of bed at 12pm, he helped me until Niko (our 2.5 year old) took his nap. My husband also napped. Till 5. But then he helped me all night. Granted, he acted irritably and babyish the whole time, but I was happy to have the help, [...]

Thank goodness I work full-time (just from home). Thank goodness I make plenty of money to support our family during dry spells.
My husband’s contract expires in 2 weeks. He has applied for several new contracts (this is good). He wants to use a new software and is trying to get a contract that will involve [...]
