Wedded bliss

I like being married. It suits me.

I've been married for about 5 months now. It's not really that anything is different from before, since Mister Jeff and I lived together for a number of years before, but it's very comfortable and fits my way of life. I'm the kind of person who likes to have a partner. I say lots of stuff like "We haven't had lamb stew in forever, have we Jef? We love lamb stew." Or "Going to movies together is our favorite date, isn't it Jef? Movies are our thing."

I don't really know why I'm always talking in the "we," but it probably has something to do with the stability I feel not having to face things alone. Even lamb stew. Hey, that stuff takes forever to cook! You need someone to talk to. I've been talking like this since well before we were married, but I feel even more justified in my pathological speak since we tied the knot.

Jeffrey never really says a whole lot in response to my incessant "we" talk, but I assume he doesn't mind because, for one, he married me, and and for two, Jeffrey just doesn't mind much. When I make one of my comments like, "We love going to the bookstore, don't we Jef? We always have fun with that. We'll definitely do that again soon," he just looks up from where ever he is reading the paper or playing with the cats and smiles and says, "yep." Which suits me just fine.
