Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus?

Yikes.

Radio Silence on the blog for the last little while.

But – here I go again:

So, Hil is out, Obama is in. I am deeply disappointed. I really thought that she could do it, and more importantly, Barack drives me CRA-ZY and I’m not sure if I can stand the more and more and more of him that is to come (does he not seem so incredibly arrogant to all of you?). It absolutely drives Ty insane that I freely admit that one of the main reasons that I wanted Hil to win was simply because she is a woman. He thinks that “that goes against everything I thought you stood for”. Ouch. But honestly, what an amazing thing that would have been to see – a woman running the good old U.S. of A. After spending the last few years of my life in the setting of a law firm, I can safely say that we are a LONG way from figuring out this man-woman balance thing.

Speaking of things that Ty thinks I stand for – we are still debating what we are going to do about the “name thing”. To change or not to change. Me, or Ty, or both or none? Ty’s friends seem to think it’s a given that I will become a W____ (I was introduced as Ty’s future wife, Ainsley W____-to-be, the other day). The name change does not bother me, but MAN does the assumption that I am obviously going to be changing over to a W_____ drive me up the wall. I am leaning towards a hyphen, to be honest. And yes, the kids (those way off in the future offspring) will have a hyphen as well. Go ahead, start your bashing now.

AND -- WEDDING COUNTDOWN IS ON! I am getting beyond excited!!
