An 80-20 Split


Wow. It has been a very busy (and fun) few weeks since I last posted. I am busily preparing for and executing a fundraiser at work and trying to give my husband the most calm midterm week ever. I'm not sure how successful it has been, but I have certainly tried.

Why is it that people are always busy at the same time? I love the notion that when one of you can only bring 20% to the table in your relationship, that the other can bring the 80%---the idea that you can give and take for each other. It is a really nice idea, and I have to say that it does work a lot of the time.

But what about when you are both busy and you both bring 20%. How do you make up for that other 60%?

I guess that is where the love part comes in. You are both extra forgiving and extra patient with each other. It is the part that my sweet husband is oh so good at. It is what I am working on now.

Life as a hyphenate has been smooth sailing since my little trip to the drivers license renewal office. In fact, I have actually meet several people in the last few weeks with hyphenated last names, one of which was a man (gasp!). It kind of feels like a cosmic apology for yet another DMV name disaster.
