Today is Decide to Be Married Day. I always thought how wickedly cool couples like Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell and Susan Sarandon/Tim Robbins were, not being married but staying together, having children, and the works.
Even when my guy proposed and I said yes, I kept putting it off because I liked that we were “living in sin.” Later, I thought, “We won’t get married until our gay friends can,” which I still think is very important–and sometimes wish we had held out for.
Ultimately uncomplicated insurance is what drove us to tying the knot when we did, but I always knew we would somewhere in the back of my mind. I love being my guy’s wife, and he loves being my husband.
I’ve added a new link today–Inspire Me Thursday, one of my new favorite sites. Check out their latest blog post featuring some amazing chalk art animation.
Finally, there’s also a new badge on this page for my cause, the UN World Food Programme. Please visit the sponsor site on my badge and help raise money for hungry kids for free!

It’s really easier than you think. Check out the benefits of composting in the article below, as well as a way to make a super simple bin, and use the photo below as a guide to filling it up. And while I forgot to mention it in the article, a 10-gallon bucket will even do if you’re short on space or you have an apartment.
If you’re following my articles at Twitter, thanks! One of the sites I write for allows me to auto-post through Twitter and Facebook. However, not all of my articles are posted that way, so the blog is still the best way to read all of my work. 🙂
