I, wife.
................

Today, I became a wife.

Sure, technically, I got married back in May. But the wife part took a while. See, I got an e-mail this morning from my friend Regan. 'Twas lots of catching up, but towards the end, she innocently asked me if I'd become more wifely in my unemployment. I wrote back, saying something to the effect of, "No, not really."

But then I started thinking about it. Why haven't I become more wifely? What the hell have I been doing with myself? Whatever happened to Be All You Can Be?

So from now on, I will be all I can be: A wife. A 1950s-slave-to-her-household wife.
