Usually my husband gets home late. But now we’ve entered a whole new dimension of “late.” I used to think I knew what “late” meant. Now I’ve discovered that “late” and “early” are actually the same thing! The only difference is when the activity you reference BEGAN.
For example, when I say “5:30 am,” my [...]

I just had a random memory of a conversation my husband and I had about 10 years ago. We’d been dating maybe 3 months. At that time, my husband was a 2D animator. Those are the artists who draw cartoons like Sponge Bob, the Simpsons, and so on. Never gave a thought to 3d jobs–that [...]

There are two important morning routines in our home: 1) My husband NEVER wakes up earlier than 8:00 am, though he needs to wake up by 7:30 am. 2) If I wake up early to take a shower, so as to free the bathroom up early, my husband miraculously WAKES up, DARTS out [...]

I had a VERY odd night! FIRST I went to bed at 10:00pm. My friends who read this blog just fainted. I have a big problem with staying up late till 1am or lately even later. But I’ve been working on it. BOOM. Progress.
But then I woke up at 4:00 am. Man, is this what [...]

It’s 1:30am on Friday night. I waited all day for my husband to tell me whether he has to work tomorrow. And Monday. (I can’t make weekend plans without this info.) He has to do stuff for a trailer being released in a week or two, so his schedule is crazy again, but not [...]

Like most people in the movie industry, my husband has worked away from home for some projects (for months at a time). In each case, he could have stuck with work close by, but the far away work would increase his salary level and work skills. We chose the harder road, but it has paid [...]

Breath of fresh air. My husband fiiiiinally finished the project he was working on. It’ll be so nice to see him again. When he gets called in to troubleshoot at the end of a project (“end of project” = “crunch time”), this means working till 2 or 3 am every day 6 days a week [...]

Does your guy seem to get a lot of traffic tickets? For example, does he get traffic tickets that make your car insurance twice that of any other person you know? I would LOVE to tell you exactly how much we pay in auto insurance per year, but I have to pretend like I don’t [...]
