Getting married doesn’t mean that I have to grow up, right?
I still sleep with a stuffed moose named MaryAnne, and it’s not because I have issues, but because its a part of my childhood that I’ll never give up. I would love to buy little dresses for her like I did when I was 8, but I am afraid Mr. H would send me to the loony bin. It’s just like having a dog that you can dress up, except she doesn’t move or bark or go potty on the rug.
Anyways, Mr. H hates her – she says her fur isn’t soft, and she takes up too much room in the bed. She really doesn’t though – she is quite small and always sleeps on the side farthest from him. He said she was smelly, so I doused her in Febreeze antibacterial spray that kills the stinky cells on things, and now she smells lovely. He still doesn’t like her.
I am worried that getting married means I can’t sleep with her anymore. My bff M and I have had this conversation before, regarding our special friends (her blanket and my moose) and we decided that we should never have to give them up. But what if Mr. H asks that I don’t keep her under the covers anymore?
I don’t think I should ever have to put her away. Maybe some day when we get a dog I won’t use her as a snuggly pillow anymore, but she will still be in the bed!
Getting married shouldn’t mean giving up your childhood lovelies. 🙂 Perhaps he could give her a voice, and make her a funny, sassy, bitchy moose. Trust me, he could have a lot of fun driving you crazy. Frank does that with the momma’s boy, spoiled, mean hippo I sleep with. 🙂 I think he is more attached to him now than me and is openly angry if I forget him on a trip.
Here is a response to your questions about blogging. I could not find your e-mail, sorry it is long!!!
———————————–
Under your blog title in dashboard, there is a “monetize” link. Click that and it will get you started. You will also have to open a google adsense account. Let me know if you have problems finding any of the links, I can send them your way.
The three column blog is a just an HTML layout. I could forward you mine, but it would remove all the cute little aspect of your blog!!! It can be a hassle too, since you have to re-setup all of your gadgets. Ugh. In any case, you could make a testing blog that you can play around with until you like the look. I just changed all of the colors and added a header from a generic HTML. You could also google 3-column blog layouts, see what you get! They may even have a 3-column version of yours!! Again, let me know if I can help.
Crossing things out is the easiest (and most fun!) of the three!!! Since it does not allow me to post HTML here, I will use ( and ) in place of < and >. Make sense??? just type (del)your word here(/del) ! Simple! Hope that helps!!!

Ah, this is cute. I am sure I am much older than you and I still sleep with my blanket too. And no, even after we get married it is not going anywhere.
Ha! I have TWO stuffed animals that I still sleep with [a pink elephant and a polar bear]. And I have repeatedly justified it to my fiance by saying that they are for comfortable sleeping positions only. He counters with ‘Then get a pillow instead!’, and I reply ‘No problem, I’ll take a polar bear and elephant shaped pillow then.’
