Virtual Husband
I was thinking today that I was tired of having a virtual husband. I know some wives might think that a virtual husband would be a good idea. He makes money that he can’t spend, so I get to spend all the money in the bank. He calls and talks to me twice a week. I get consistent email and occasional gifts. He operates a blog for me. This for some would be the perfect husband, because it avoids the difficult bit of actually getting along with each other in the same house. But, as I mailed his Valentine today, I thought about how nice it would be to actually hold his hand, to arrive home and find him there, to live life together not life apart. I do appreciate my virtual husband, but I’ll happily trade him in for the real one in just over 6 months. I like the real one much better.
I can relate. I miss my virtual American friends and every time I log onto this site it makes me think of the the things we did NOT do together while you guys were here…
(PS. That’s about as close as I get to being a SNAG, so don’t expect it again)
When I asked my assignments officer if I could have a job where I would be able to telecommute, this isn’t quite what I expected. For some reason, I was expecting to work from home and connect to the office electronically. I guess I got it backwards.
Thinking of you and praying the next half goes faster than the first.
