Spanking

June 23, 2012

Last week I wrote a post for Babble, If You Spank Your Kids, We Can’t Be Friends, and it got, shall we say, an interesting response. Turns out people don’t like it when I tell them what to do with their lives, or their children. Go figure. You’d think more people would flock to me […]

Remember When Husbandrinka Lost His Wedding Ring?

June 7, 2012

So he lost his wedding ring when it flew off his finger because he lost so much weight and then he got another one and then recently as he was packing for a business trip, he reached into a folder to grab some papers and OMFG, his original wedding band was there. And then he […]

Nostalgia

May 30, 2012

Husbandrinka and I were looking at some old photos recently and reminiscing. It’s funny how two people who share a life, and so much history can see such different things when looking at the same photo. “Oh, honey, look at this one!” Husbandrinka tilted his screen towards me so that I could admire a photo […]

Contact Sports

April 17, 2012

You may know this, but I have  recently become a baseball superfan.  I am a superfan because my son is a superfan and I refuse to be a regular type of fan.  I even went to a game with him.  And I watch him play.  Because, as previously explained, I am superfan. And one of […]

April 10, 2012

On Sunday night, I watched The Client List. Or I tried to. Because the instant it came on, Husbandrinka walked into the room. “Who’s that?” he asked and then didn’t even answer for me to answer. “Wow, is that Cybill Shepherd? That must have been filmed 20 years ago when she was a lot younger.” […]

The Wife Is Always The Last To Know

March 15, 2012

Husbandrinka has turned into a bit of a health nut recently, eating healthful foods, swimming, drinking only on occasion. (And not on the “it’s evening! I made it through another day!” occasion that I seem to be celebrating.) He also walks to work. His office is a few miles away, so he has to leave […]

The Blogger’s Mile High Club

March 2, 2012

I am writing this post from very high up in the sky. No, I’m not in Heaven (this better not be, I just paid $7 for a Chardonnay). I’m on an airplane, going to Miami, where I am meeting some friends to play mah jongg. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? When Young Ladrinka asked me why […]

I’m Right, You’re Wrong: ESL

February 29, 2012

As some of you may know, from peering into my Slavic soul, I was born in Russia, and English is my second language. Yes, I am an ESL person. Don’t get me wrong, I get by. But there are times that I appreciate keenly that English isn’t my native language.  I’ve been told that I […]
