In my previous post, I mentioned my partner, my pal, my punching bag, my ball-N-chain, my honey, my dude, my long haired hippy hubbie of nine years.  Let’s call him Drob.

It’s funny to talk of him as my husband (sounds so grown up and all!), and I really prefer not to call him my Dear Husband and especially not my DH.  I think that’s just a little too saccharine, thank you very much. So often when I’m cruising the mommy blogs out there, so many women write so very enthusiastically about their DH that I have to wonder about how much sugar coating goes on, just cuz they love their man and he reads their blog.  Without getting all mushy, I do love my man, but I won’t b.s. you: we have all the requisite fighting that couples do; neither one of us (it turns out) is perfect; we annoy one another sometimes. I get pissed at this and that and the other thing. Life is good; marriage is good; but I want to keep this blog honest.

Drob and I were recently talking about blogging. (Our children pointed out to us that this conversation was extremely boring, but I’m sure you bloggers out there will agree.)  He has a blog that’s really him, his name and everything! I have this blog, that’s kind of anonymous.  (I don’t want skeevy folks who know me and aren’t friends searching the internet and then Peep Showing on my life.)

But having an anonymous blog has its drawbacks. I’m often holding back stuff I’d like to write for fear of its being too specific and thereby blowing my cover.

And Drob finds that having a blog that’s Really Him has its drawbacks too, because sometimes you want to rant and rave like a lunatic, but not have that sort of drivel be available to your potential future clients or employers.

So we got an idea. A terrible, wonderful, awful idea. Why not SHARE our BLOGS. He could visit here and write stuff anonymously and I could visit there and write stuff… like, as myself! Bravely and in front of the whole world.

While I may not be ready to march up and write something somewhere besides here, I wanted to mention this blog-sharing idea and introduce Drob to you wonderful readers out there. He’s a good writer, a clear thinker and perfectly capable of humorous ranting when he gets good and heated. I’m officially inviting him to come here and post.

Please welcome: (drumroll…..)  Drob.
