And then to the zoo! With Stephan and Tony! It was a lot more exciting than evidenced by the photos, because I don’t waste my time with pictures through plexiglass or cages anymore, which seriously limited my photographic opportunities. We did see every animal (except for the butterflies), but we skipped the elephant museum (but [...]
I have a cat. His name is Simon. He is paws-down the cutest thing on four legs.
He may not be so cute, though, when we have to get him a pair of those upside-down-vision glasses to flip his vision so he can see correctly during the 12 minutes per day that he’s looking at the [...]
So I tried to make some cheesy cauliflower dish for dinner. It did not work out as planned: much closer to edible than palatable.
Whenever a recipe says to do stuff up in a saucepan, invariably, invariably, I will get out a frying pan instead. I don’t know why this is, but no matter how many [...]
Too much sunshine and/or actually doing stuff to blog this weekend. Sorry, Internets!
Sunday filled up fast, in part because of grocery shopping and the 3.4 hours I had to spend at work. More fun: I tricked Stephan into running around downtown with me. Where he officially became a Guy Who Waits Outside Victoria’s Secret. It [...]
I took our down comforter to the cleaners last week. Stephan went to pick it up so I wouldn’t have to carry it all the way home. When he picked it up, this happened:
“Oh, are you boyfriend?”
“No, I’m actually the husband.”
“Really? I thought she said boyfriend would pick it up.”
“I don’t think so.”
“Pretty sure ‘boyfriend.’”
We [...]
We just want to claim this one before anyone else does (you know who you are):
Sally Jesse Raphael.
Back off, other people with babies to name!
Remember when Stephan sprung not only a surprise honeymoon, but also our personal engagement on me? Lucky for us that these surprising roles were not swapped because I’m horrible at keeping the proverbial cat(s) in the proverbial bag(s).
I’m a blabbermouth when it comes to keeping my own secrets, but I’m great at keeping other people’s. [...]
I’m really looking forward to buying a house in three to five years, if only so we can legitimately expand our list of house rules, which so far comprises:
We don’t say, “shut up” here; we say, “shut your piehole.”
If you’re playing Monopoly and your name is Tony, you must give each other player $500 at [...]
Last week, Stephan went to Costco for pizza crust. And came home with a PlayStation 2.
Then he bought me a brand old copy of The Sims so that he, too, could experience being a PS2 widow(er). I played some car racing game with him, which I totally would have won if someone had told me [...]
(As suggested by my subconscious while I was sleeping this one time last night)
1. Have the bear stand at the bottom of a hill, maybe minding his own business and fishing for some allegedly tasty fishes.
2. Have your grandfather and his rifle (or shotgun–it’s not like you can tell the difference anyway) stand at the [...]
