Last night I was thinking about my life and how I blog a lot (yea, very deep stuff) and it occurred to me that my wife married a blogger. I was blogging well before we got married. Not many bloggers I work with can say that.
My blogging obsession (including my work obsession), was something she was aware of before we got married. Some spouses can say, you weren't like this when we were married. Not my wife. ;-)
I was justing thinking of the married crew at Search Engine Land and the majority of them were married before "blogging." I think Danny was a journalist before getting married, but there wasn't such a thing as blogging back then. Chris Sherman, Greg Sterling, even Matt McGee, I think were all married before blogging. So it is cool if their wives complain about their constant need to post things to a blog.
But my obsession was pre-marriage, so no complaints. ;-)
Honestly, like I have said time after time. I am a lucky man. My wife is extremely patient with me, extremely good about my obsessions and very supportive. I am not suggesting that my wife complains, she never does. It was just a deep thought by Barry Schwartz from last night.
And since I am a blogger, I had to blog it.
(Oh, the picture above is from me blogging while driving, which I have done many times.)

Uh- I don't think so- no blogging from the hospital, thank you. I am a supportive wife, but that will not be happening!

It is nice to know that you know/ appreciate how lucky you are to have me :)

Love this, because Eric and I can SO relate, only I was the blogger/writer and he's had to wait for me to finish "outflow", whenever it happens!
PS - I wrote an article about my son's birth soon after it happened. Was perfect, because I got so many details I may have forgotten later. His/my midwives have that story in our file to this day, 15 yrs later.

LOL - Kim.
Not sure if the Wife will allow me to write too many details about the birth... ;-)
