This weekend marks two unique events for me. A solar eclipse on sunday, and my partner taking off for a weekend kayak trip. In 5 years we haven’t been apart more than one night. I’m thinking that by the time the eclipse occurs, if he hasn’t returned it is possible one of 3 things will happen:

1) I will stare boldly into the eclipse face and burn the wet tears onto my retinas. Thus giving me a super power based in emotionalism. Perhaps the ability to depress an entire building with my presence.

2) You will start noticing posted videos of me and my very own husband puppet. Enjoying mundane things like dinner. (Except Fake-Man wont be able to digest spaghetti-being a sock and what not.) Also, you might not want to watch if Man-Sock gets cheeky and hits on me. I’d like to think I’d resist but I’m a bit of a degenerate to be honest, especially when left alone. Thats one reason I got married, so that we could be degenerates together.  

3) I will become self-sufficent and not the least bit codependent. When he returns I will greet him not with a blubbering “Why’d ya leaaavvveee meeee?” but a Rosie the Riveter like “Dude, glad your back. Lets grab a burrito.”

At this point I’m leaning toward option two. I’ve been a Muppet fan for so long it might be starting to warp me. “Why Kermit…stop making those eyes at me, I’m bushing.”
