& Surviving The Thanksgiving Holiday...


I thought I had The Story of The Day, with a divorced father-of-two trying to pick me up at the playground at Piedmont Park today. (It was cold, I had gloves on, covering up the ring. I thought it was just parent-to-parent conversation, until he said, "So, are you married?")(You have to understand, I've been married--happily!--almost 18 years now--the thought of a nice, attractive guy thinking of me as a potential DATE never even crossed my mind!)(I must have looked almost-HOT all bundled up in the cold today, with my pink knit hat and red nose--freezing my ASS off to get the kids OUT of the house for a bit and OFF my last nerve!)(And it's only the FIRST DAY of the school holiday...)

Still, my hubby trumped my pseudo hook-up attempt with: "Well, APPARENTLY, ATLANTA Magazine says I am "devastatingly handsome"...

Whaaaaa???


One of the guys in hubby's office came in today and advised everyone present of the "devastatingly handsome" appellation (n. A name or title). Said guy's wife works for Cobb County Library, and apparently they get their ATLANTA Magazine subscription before we normal people do! (December issue!!)

We've been waiting...I have a feature in the December issue, which contains the aforementioned appellation in reference to my DH (Dear Hubby)(who is, indeed)--in CONTEXT!

Well, now he's ruined: He's too "devastatingly handsome" to help with dinner or dishes--god forbid, the kids should disturb him, he's busy fending off...gray hair! wrinkles! Any threat to his DH status...He does, after all, have an appellation to maintain--

It's not online yet, but do check out the December issue of ATLANTA Magazine: CLICK HERE!.

Happy Thanksgiving - Gobble, Gobble!"
