Well, la-di-dah, ain't I special?

I am now the wife of someone Very Important. The husband was assigned to another area at work, which (while it doesn't mean an actual raise, oh no) does mean he now has much more Important responsibilities.

My mother-in-law was a woman very impressed with social standing. She was a bit of name dropper and never lost an opportunity to give the husband's father a promotion in casual conversation. "My ex-husband, the colonel ..." She would have been delighted with the husband's new job.

In honor of her memory, I will now go practice putting on airs.
