Married and bored.

I keep getting asked how married life is whenever I see someone I haven’t seen in a couple of months (which is immediately followed by, “when are you having kids?”) and my answer is always the same, “It’s great, thanks!” (which is followed by, “Not sure, but I’ll send out a google alert when it happens.”). This question(s) is always asked by a fellow married person – it’s as if they’re trying to live vicariously through me by the way they ask. I mean, what do they want to hear, that we’re Bonnie & Clyde-ing it across the city? That sounds exciting. On the other hand, unmarried people never ask, probably because they don’t really care how my cohabitation with my significant other is going. Why would they? Thank you unmarried friends, thank you.

My life in the spotlight.

Well, it’s not really my life in the spotlight per se, but rather next to it. In fact, sometimes I feel like I should’ve named this blog, “My life as a PR wife”. As I’ve quickly learned, the life of a PR person never stops, or sleeps, or eats, drinks, drives without distraction. PR professionals are never without their phones, you know, in case of emergency…..or so I’m told.

The art of balance.

Balance. Ah yes, that sweet state of equilibrium. I sometimes feel as though this cute, adorable state hides behind corners, in dark alleys, avoiding me at all costs. But wait, am I really seeking balance daily or am I just surrendering to the rate race that is life?

After putting some thought towards this question, I realize that I’m always rushing. Rushing to get to work, rushing to make sure every ball I’m juggling at work is flowing through the air swiftly, rushing to get home from work, rushing to make dinner, rushing to clean up after dinner, rushing, rushing, rushing. So when is my downtime? When is my time to do something I enjoy to do? Oh right, it’s waiting for me to make the time to do these things. Duh.

Love letters.

As a newlywed, you think that there’s no one else more in love then you and your significant other. That no couple’s love could compare to the passion that you feel for one another. That older couples don’t have a passionate love story keeping them together, that it’s merely a state of routine.
