I'm Claiming a New Boyfriend

I don't know his name yet, but I am I.N. L.O.V.E. with him.

To me, he is a prince, a knight in shining armor, my savior and every other over-used cliched. He is "Da Man."

Sorry, Hubby, but I just can't keep my thoughts off of this other man, but I think -- if I explain everything -- you will understand.

(Hopefully)

Truthfully, my new man has satisfied me in ways that my husband simply has NOT been able to achieve. He has quenched a fire that burned within me -- a fire that has been distracting me from the joys of life: eating, sitting quietly and listening to rain . . . holding my daughter on the couch.

I feel like a new woman.

And, it's all because of this man . . . this unnamed man.

I wish I knew the name of this shadowy figure. I wish I knew a lot about him, but I only know one thing.

He invented this:



Oh, you hot, HOT scientist of years past! If you only knew what your simple little tablets of sodium bicarbonate have done for me! For weeks, I've spent sleepless nights -- tossing, turning, and sighing -- desperately trying to find a position that would ease the horrible burning sensation rushing through my esophagus.

TODAY, I found relief in a little, unassuming bottle on aisle 19 of my grocery store.

Oh, Prince TUMS . . . if you weren't probably old (and possibly dead), I would SOOOOOOOO plant one on you right now!

I lived on Tums during both of my pregnancies. I would buy 2-3 bottles at a time at the grocery store. I always joke when a friend is pregnant that they need to buy stock in toilet paper and Tums.

Oh Tums, how I doth love Thee. Or did, when I was preggars.

Hey, finally looked at your new design on a wide screen and love the background.

My screen is too tiny at home.

Good luck with the heartburn, gas, etc. It will take a couple months (no kidding) after the baby is born to go away. Or you could be lucky like me and it could take a year or more.

Mr. Tums was my boyfriend for a short nine months (or long nine months) too, sent from heaven that guy is (was).
