14 years. Who'd a thunk it? I've managed to stay married for 14 years. It's not always been easy, and there have been times that walking away would have been the simplest thing to do, but we haven't yet.
So, today Mr. Lowe and I mark 14 years of being married. Our cats are also 14 years old, as of a month or so ago. We've been living in the cabin for 15 years.
John's taking me out to dinner this evening, and I'm taking him to a movie. Because we're wild and crazy people now that we're in our mid-30s.
Happy Anniversary Mr. Lowe. You've been much more understanding and supportive than I would have ever expected, and it's one of the many reasons I love you.

To the woman I married...
Give me a call about 6:30 PM, I should be home by then, if the icefog doesn't slow traffic on the Rich to parking lot speeds.
To the rest of you - what, you didn't know I'd married a woman? Well, gee. I've been a bride, a groomsmaid twice, and a marriage commissioner once. So, yes, I did marry a woman.
Look, just because my state's Republicans endorsed Romney doesn't mean I participate in plural marriage. As long as everyone involved is/are consenting uncoerced adults, I don't care if you do.
Oh, and if you know anyone who is looking for a bridesmaid/matron of honor, I'm available.
ETA - John says he wouldn't mind a plural marriage, especially if it meant he could be a kept man

That word, it does not mean what you think it does.
From a Jezebel comment thread:
"why do men or even women have to grow a plutonic family? I was under the assumption that being born didn't come with a to-do list."
Plutonic. Umm, I'm not sure I want a plutonic family. The first three things that come to mind for me when plutonic is used are:
1) Geologically I think of gabbro
2) Mythologically I think of Pluto
3) Astronomically I think of the former planet
I mean, I don't want a family that could be described as frigid, rocky, or including the overlord of the dead.
Now, I do not doubt that the word the well meaning person meant to type was platonic. Yeah. I don't want a platonic marriage either, unless I'm a beard or arm candy, the pre-nups are signed, and we all know what we're in for. Platonic, not what I'm looking for in a marriage. Not what I have in my marriage. Thank goodness!
