Today is my anniversary. The band and I have been married for two years now. Boy, how time flies when you are in love.....sometimes in love, that is. Sometimes not. Just like a real marriage.
My band is not quite the wonderful, perfect angel I thought it was in the beginning. Reality has set in and I have to admit that the band is sometimes an evil, controlling, mind-game-playing SOB. But sometimes it's very sweet and gives me lots of warning and does not make me spew my dinner into the toilet before I even get a chance to raise the seat.
It pretty much demands that I be faithful, though. Faithful to a diet without bread, pizza, Pasta, rice, cake, Cookies, fruit, and a bunch of other stuff. If I cheat, I pay for it. The band does not cut me much slack in that respect. Fortunately it doesn't hold a grudge, as I tend to cheat pretty regularly.
On the up-side....my band makes me feel much more attractive than I felt before we were married. And sexier....definitely sexier. Men flirt with me now, even though I am old. I guess taste is a very subjective thing.
Being married to the band has been a financial see-saw. I am a very cheap date these days, and I've saved a ton on groceries. Purchasing several new wardrobes has been pretty costly, though. I've breezed thru about 7 sizes in the last 24 months. It's very hard to find size 4 jeans that cover your belly button, by the way. So now my band and I hang out in thrift stores a lot. We can get jeans there that fit us. My daughter-in-law says that's because they have been hanging in people's closets so long that they are totally out of style, but we don't care. My band and I only need each other....we don't care what the makeover people on HGTV might say about our sense of fashion.
There has been one really tense period. I gained 3 pounds recently and I knew it was 100% due to my other love - Cheetos. I've been forced to give up the Cheetos. And the band was NO HELP at all! No help and NO SYMPATHY! Evidently, I could have had them both but I tried it and found that I just wasn't comfortable with a threesome. I've heard that ice cream and the band can team up and be really seductive, too. So be careful if you're married to a band. The guilt is just AWFUL! Trust me....it's not worth it!
