The thing I hate most about traveling? Showering at other people’s houses. I hate it. No, I LOATHE it. Especially at my in laws because the shower door was installed backwards and so to turn it on, I have to step into it, turn the knob and jump back out before my entire body is [...]

Weekend Mornings
Posted in Uncategorized on December 16, 2009 | 3 Comments »
The weather must be taking a toll on our sleeping habits. We go to bed around 11 or midnight and still don’t get out of bed until after 10 am, needing a cup of coffee.
And since neither of us are exactly “morning people”, including the dog, our weekend mornings look something like this:
Pumpkin spice coffee, [...]

Thanksgiving
Posted in Uncategorized on November 29, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Growing up, I always hated Thanksgiving. My mom would drag me to someone’s house to eat a bunch of food that I didn’t really like (cranberry sauce, mystery casseroles, dry turkey) and the only TV in the place was turned to football. Always football. I hated football.
The year we bought our house, I thought it [...]

So far today I…
Went to the DMV to get my replacement driver’s license. I’m so glad they didn’t make me take another picture. I actually like the picture that was already on there (taken just days after our honeymoon, so I’m skinny(er) and tan.)
Also stopped by the Post Office to pick up holiday stamps. Yes, [...]
Movie Reviews

Due to our busy work schedules, weekends at home are sacred between me and the hubs. We spend as much time together as possible, even accompanying each other on mundane errands like going to the grocery store, getting the oil changed, picking up dinner, or dropping off a movie.
Speaking of movies, cuddling up on the couch with a [...]

I was on the phone with my grandpa on Friday when I pulled into the driveaway.
“So tell me about the new neighbors,” he said.
“I don’t know! They closed today and I’m pulling in right now. I see a car. And the yard looks empty which means no dog, so that’s good.”
And then the barking.
SHIT
“What’s that noise? [...]
The next 48 hours
Posted in Uncategorized on August 14, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Here’s how I expect the next 48 hours to go…
Drive 2.5 hours to southern IL
Pick up grandma and father
Drive. 2.5 hours back to STL
Take grandma and father to funeral home
Visit with aunts and cousins for about 45 minutes. Hand grandma tissues.
Feel like an asshole for not crying or feeling sad that my grandpa passed away [...]
You spoke. I listened.

I wasn’t kidding when I left it up to you guys to decide what we do about the bathroom. Every single person said to paint, so that’s what we did. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get my pictures off of my camera – the cord won’t recognize a new device, and the SD card doesn’t [...]
Nintendo Party!
Posted in Uncategorized on July 12, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I promised to write more about the Nintendo party I attended, but I’m feeling quite lazy. Plus, Rebekah did such a fabulous job of recapping the event and posting all sorts of photos (I’m in a few!) that I think I’d rather just link to her instead.
Check it out!
