Yahoo posted an article the other day with the link title, Carrie Underwood says she would quit her job if her husband told her to and the internet explodes. So I clicked on it. OF COURSE. There’s not much to clarify Carrie’s comment, even the author of the article says there’s probably more to the [...]

Can I tell you something about my marriage?

February 4, 2013
Thumbnail image for Can I tell you something about my marriage?

We are not perfect. We aren’t even perfect for each other if you get right down to it. But we work.  We argue sometimes and laugh a lot.  We are committed to open communication and refuse to play games around that.  We aren’t experts, there are people who have been together successfully for much longer [...]

Show Him Some Sugar.

I’ve decided that in February I am going to do one thing every single day that will demonstrate to my husband how much I looooooove him. It’s a sort of tight ass Valentine’s gift. A big gesture to make up for the lean and mean savings period we are in at the moment. But mostly [...]

Dates for Married People.

Let’s go out, he said. I’m sick of being cooped up, let’s get out of here. Air conditioning has that effect on him. Too cold, too perfect, too much. Actually any thing with four walls freaks him out after a while. And so, we go out. Usually for a drive. Sometimes for dinner or lunch [...]

Hubby and I have been married for over 7 years now. Together for almost nine or ten. The jury is still out on that one. We love and appreciate each other, which is remarkable. But it never occurred for me to do was to be excited that we are still married. Last week I saw [...]

He Makes Me Proud

Today I literally burst {into tears} with pride at the man my husband is. LITERALLY. I had to go into the office this morning to get a contract signed on a house. But my key that was loaned out a little while ago had not been returned. Forgetting about this until I was attempting to [...]

My Husband hides candy.

Thumbnail image for My Husband hides candy.

He’s a ferrety ferret. A hider of sweet things. He’s like a crack addict when it comes to lollies, sweet, desserts and candies. He’s a sugar addict pre-rehab. He works hard so the calories burn off him. Mostly. so even though I really, really hate that sugary stuff, I let him be. I’ve taken it [...]

Hubby’s making dinner.

Thumbnail image for Hubby’s making dinner.

Not a big deal but it’s newsworthy because today I FINALLY got my mojo back in terms of writing some posts. I’m set up on the dining room table, magazines and junk strewn everywhere. I’m on a roll. So I asked nicely if he would make dinner, despite the fact I’ve been home for hours [...]

I’m nice to my husband because I like him.

Thumbnail image for I’m nice to my husband because I like him.

People, often enough, comment on the blog or Facebook page about the nice way I talk about my Hubby. The general air of lovey dovey’ness and kind words. I wrote about it in an old post, on an old blog that’s now gone. You see, my Dad, he said it was essential to be on [...]

A Bit of a Jerk

Relationships are difficult sometimes. There is a push and a shove that comes from that necessary compromise type situation. In our house we talk over big purchases, we include the other in happening of the day, we don’t call the other at work unless it is absolutely necessary and we never, ever get a guinea pig or [...]

Bribery makes the world go around.

August 16, 2012

In our house there’s a sort of barter system going. Mostly. I unpack the dishwasher. he packs it. I cook dinner, he takes out the garbage. I dirty the clothes, he washes them. You know, the usual give and take that is relationships. It’s normally a tit for tat type arrangement. Rarely does money exchange [...]

My Husband left me for an iPad & other such stories of wedded bliss.

August 10, 2012

It wasn’t that long ago that I was complaining about sharing. Then it was our anniversary and I was annoyed again, so I just went and got one for him. Dear Hubby, you’re welcome, Love Me. Since then the setting up, the learning, the questions have started. Bit by bit he has retreated into the [...]

7 Year Itchiness…

August 6, 2012

7 years into our marriage and I still have to fight him off for a normal couple photo. Such is life. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Like Steve Martin’s character says in Cheaper By the Dozen, we’ve still got the heat! HA. Awkward. Sorry to the family members playing along at [...]

Date Night and The Gambler.

July 30, 2012

Sometimes we bust out of the ordinary and go on a date. Sometimes it’s planned and sometimes it’s not. When it’s planned we almost never go. Isn’t that weird? It seems if we have to do it, because it’s on the calendar it just loses its appeal. Last night we decided at the last minute to [...]

The battle of the iPad. Otherwise known as lame first world problems.

July 25, 2012

Around here we don’t play well with others. We especially don’t share too well. I just don’t like other people touching my STUFF is commonly heard. It’s a movie quote, I think, but I’ve claimed it as my own. I think it comes from being an eldest child watching my much-loved collection of china dolls [...]

Homecoming.

July 3, 2012

Last night I arrived home and was about as happy as you can be about it. I was home. In my house. Soon to be reunited with my Hubby. My hubby who I love and adore and enjoy being around lots. With a fridge {and freezer and pantry and bench top} full of good, wholesome [...]

Walking down memory lane with Hubby

May 2, 2012

This blog is a place where my life lives. It’s the place where I document the good, the bad and the silly. The little pieces that make up the whole of my world. And there is no bigger piece than my Hubby. The wonderful and charming Kel. Ok, charming was probably an overkill. Wonderful and kind. And [...]

The Shed Project

April 29, 2012

The Suger household was expecting a new arrival in March this year. The arrival of my baby girl Blue. This impending arrival required one simple thing of Hubby, to clean out the garage. The rakes and shovels that lined the walls, karate chopping anyone who dared to tread too close. A karate chop to the [...]

Burning down the house. Or the wardrobe at least.

January 31, 2012

Mu Hubby has a thing for hideous, OLD shirts. Well, clothes in general. But particularly shirts. Saggy, baggy with horrible patterns or names of places friends or relatives have been. It does my head in a little. But when I buy him clothes, soon they are discarded for the old favourites. Pushed to the back of the [...]

The Beer Wife

January 26, 2012

I consider myself a good wife. A lot probably wouldn’t, old dudes especially, but I do. And I’m petty sure most days my Hubby does too. So we bump along, doing our best to be kind to each other, trying to balance our ‘stuff’ and making sure we make time for each other. Hence, another [...]
