Pinch-hitting for Jamie

Today marks a first for me, in that I was asked to guest post for Jamie over at Jamie's Rabbits. She asked me a few weeks ago, and I said "yes" before I really even thought about it. And then I got totally freaked out and asked her for an idea for a topic. To which she NOT VERY HELPFULLY replied, "No topic requests - although I always fancy having a Mom around to write about mom-things or a married person to write about married things. My readers like lists. They always respond to lists."

So I, being the lazy person that I am, decided to write about married things, in list form.

Luckily, it seems like the topic might be of use, even though I might be a little late providing my advice for some of you (and it appears as though those 115-year-old giant tortoises could have used it, too.) Coincidentally, on the very day that I sent my draft to Jamie, I had the following exchange with one of my "Stalkers":

So don't delay! Head on over to Jamie's and find out what you'll wish you had known 10 years ago!
