Haha, just kidding. No f*cking way. Well, I shouldn’t say “no f*cking way” because life is hilarious and weird sh*t happens all the time, but right now, I don’t see any marriages happening in 2022. Woohoo!
And so far, 2022 has been pretty awesome. I don’t know if I’ve written about it before, but in 2020, I joined a masters artistic (formerly called synchronized) swimming team. It has been the most fun thing I’ve done in probably decades. I was a competitive synchronized swimmer as a kid (from ages 8 to 13), but then we moved and I stopped. I went back to it about 27 years later. And love it so much!
Anyway, we have swimmers from ages 20-something to 77! We practice twice per week and these ladies are just my favorite. If you want to see some of our practice swims, I’ve added a highlight to my Instagram profile (@the_marni)! I’m also part of a performance troupe, The Rose City Raindrops, and we were recently hired for an event (the first since before COVID). I finally got to get all dressed up to swim:

We swam a team routine (10 swimmers) and then we each choreographed and swam a duet with someone who doesn’t swim. It was hilarious.

My duet partner was such a good sport and we had a lot of fun swimming our routine…and no one drowned! #success #futureolympians
Let’s see, what else? I’m still dating. It’s a total sh*t show…and I’m really into it. I’ve never dated for fun, without having some goal in mind (like dumb marriage) so it is very different. And WAY better…at least for now. No pressure.
Oh and little Tot is just doing the best. He still goes to daycare a couple of days a week and they send me report cards with pictures of him. OMG, I die. I just die.



He’s just the happiest little nightmare dog.
Happy New Year and I hope 2022 brings you all the amazing things!
I can’t wait to dog-sit that idiot Tot; so we can continue our bromance!
