My Favorite Blogs

  • The Plagiarist
    Michele's little brother's blog. Ok, so Michele doesn't really have a brother.....but he's the closest thing in her only child life to a brother, so read it.
  • What Would Cookie Do
    "Just a guy living in boston, trying to stay out of trouble while helping society's kids do the same. by day, at least." So says the blog....I say, read it because it's intelligent, even though Cookie is NO Aubrey.

Lonely Weekend

I was a lonely love bear this weekend.  I was supposed to spend the weekend with Michele, but she had other things going on that led to her not hanging out with me nearly enough.  The majority of my weekend was spent in Michele's tiny apartment, just me and the admiral.  I don't know what she was up to, but I'm at least fairly certain it wasn't sober.  At least, I know the wedding wasn't.  A Howland doesn't get married around sober people!  She tells me that it was a beautiful wedding despite the god part that happened.  Again, I'm not sure why I wasn't invited...some bullshit about too small a purse.  Ahem....use a different one.

That said, I had a lot of time to myself and to think.  And I've realized something.....men are silly.  I've seen how they act and I've heard stories from the girls and I just don't understand how men could be intimidated by my girls.  They are fierce, without a doubt, but they are so loving...so what's to fear?  Afraid that you'll be happy?  Then go be sad because we don't have time for you.  We do, however, have time to plan for difficult logistics and back up plans.

My girls, multitasking....as ever.  Same for me, as I type and drink rum.
