Why Absent-Minded Professors Shouldn’t Cook

Remember yesterday how I told you we’d be having Southwest Pasta Bake on Monday night?  I generally try to make stuff in advance when I’m working, so I was planning to make this Sunday afternoon.  However, I was volunteering on Sunday morning and Chris had said he’d be happy to cook a meal sometime.  So [...]

Australia!

Before we moved to New Zealand, I wrangled a promise out of Chris that he would take me to Australia.  I even videotaped it so that he couldn’t renege, and I was very specific.  And then I lost the video. Darn it. So, guess who’s going to Australia?! Not me :-(  That would be my [...]

Happy Birthday, Chris!

In honor of Chris’ 29th birthday {which was Saturday!}, I thought that I would share an in-no-way-complete pictorial chronicle of his life.  It’s so fun to see what Chris looked like before we met, and to notice things about him in his childhood pictures that he still does now – the eyebrow waggle, his characteristic [...]

Auckland Domain

Chris and I did some more walking about town on Saturday.  We’ve walked all over the place! This time, we cut through the park across from our hotel.  We had a general destination of Auckland Domain, but no set route on how to get there. Here’s a photo that I snapped of Chris along the [...]

Conversations Between Me + Chris

Hello, my lovely readers!  All of our things have been boxed up and are on their way to California, where they’ll be loaded into a shipping container and sent across the big, blue ocean.  We should see them again in about, oh, 8 – 10 weeks! In the midst of packing, I’ve found that organization [...]

Old Trash vs. New Trash

Here’s the scene: the laundry has been folded by yours truly prior to heading off for work.  One request: that Chris put the clothing away before going to bed that night. It’s now several days later and I have another day off (translation: I’m actually looking around the house as opposed to just passing through [...]

Chicago in February

Oh, the life of a rambling college professor.  Chris has already been to several conferences since December: New York once, New York again, and now Chicago. Well, he’s not going to have all the fun without me!  I’m planning to tag along to Chicago this time.  It’s one of my favorite cities, and even though [...]

A Mouse in the House

There’s a mouse in my house. Here’s the scene: I’m sitting in my living room Monday night.  It’s late.  Chris is already in bed, but I can’t sleep because of this whole stupid working-the-night-shift thing.  So I’m watching a movie and then I see it – a dark shape skittering over the back of the [...]

A Funny Chicago Story

I know that I said that I would be offline till Monday, but I had to share a funny story from my last Chicago trip. It’s worth it! Oh, and by the way – thanks to my old HS friend Mrs. H for the Chicago driving head’s up. We will definitely re-plan our drive based [...]

My Hour of Temporary Insanity

Moving is madness, and you have to be either (1) crazy, (2) desperate, or (3) in love to agree to do it. I think my reasons for moving can be categorized as reasons #1 and #3 – I’m crazy, and I really love my husband and know that all of this moving around is important [...]
