So: tomorrow evening, Maggie and I are headed up to Hudson, New York, to spend a weekend alone. Yeah, you heard that right: alone.
No kids, no cats, no dogs… Just the two of us, for two nights, chilling. Of course, you know precisely what we’re going to talk about: kids, cats, and dogs. But I hope to sleep until at least 7am… I hope to get in some serious smooching… and I hope that Maggie and I enjoy each other’s company.
Scratch that last one.
What I mean is: I hope that I’m patient, easygoing, and fun to be with. I know that I can be a really fun person to hang with. I also know that I can be crabby, irritable, and annoying. So I’m going to have to do a little praying, and my prayer will be, in part:
“God, please help me not be a dick.”
Love to all. Even you, the drama queen.

This stuff is gold man. I am taking notes here...
So, this is how it's gonna be when I get married, eh?
Yup. That's how it's gonna be, and it ROCKS.
Enjoy your weekend. Nothing like some time away to remind you how much you really do like each other.
Reading your post reminded me of something my husband told me last week.
He said it's like he's married to two different women. There's the one who always has frown lines and snaps and falls asleep on the couch at 10 p.m. right after she gets the child in his bed. And then there's the sweet, beautiful, smiling woman he married who shows up whenever we leave the house and go on a date.
It really made me sad.
And I am terribly envious of you and your wife going away for a weekend, but also very happy for you!
Enjoy!
Dawn
Vic - thanks.
Dawn - I know EXACTLY what you mean. It's my biggest challenge... the removal of snippiness.
