One of my dirty little secrets

I am so happy that I have this secret little pink place to put all my secrets--good and bad. What I'm about to tell you, I've never shared with anyone. It isn't really too terrible, but it just makes me feel stupid and like a bad wife all the same.

Okay here goes *deep breath*: I totally have a lame crush on my husband's sister's husband (brother-in-law by marriage). I am totally happily married and would NEVER act on it--we've been married for a few years and I still think my husband is totally handsome and wonderful and am totally attracted to him. However, there is just something--personality, maybe?--that my brother-in-law has that makes me think "Grr baby" whenever I'm around him. It's just so funny because he's so not what you'd think of as technically attractive (balding, with a little belly from over-indulging over the past couple of months) whereas my husband would fit the bill (tall dark and handsome with a full head of hair). I think my husband would just laugh if I ever told him, but he has a bad habit of letting things slip when he's not supposed to and I don't even want to imagine the fallout from a slip like that. I don't think my brother-in-law has any idea (and hopefully won't ever) and as far as I know, he's totally happy being married to my sister-in-law.

I feel like a total adolescent actually admitting this, but hopefully *anonymously* sharing this will help make it go away more quickly, 'cause I spend quite a bit of time at their house.

Still moving in and getting settled

But really, how great is this secret little spot in the Constance Building. Here I can really let my hair down and tell you what I really think about things without ever having to worry that anyone who shouldn't be reading will see something they are not supposed to.

I think my stress level went down 20 notches already.
