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 [...]

Left Brain

My mom sent me this video, and it cracks me up!  The speaker is a Southern woman, and (1) I love the way she talks {reminds me of Steel Magnolias} and (2) I can so relate to what she says.  It’s really cute, especially if you’re married to, engaged to, or dating a left-brained kind [...]

The Tale of the Tim Tam

Shortly after moving to New Zealand, Chris discovered a new favorite: the Tim Tam. Chris told me they were yummy and fellow bloggers assured me that I had to try them, but I wasn’t sure.  I took one look, turned up my nose, and said, “Ugh!  Looks like a bunch of over-processed, chemical-laden, highly preserved [...]

Squirt Guns and Water Balloons

I haven’t thought about Super Soakers or water balloon launchers since, I don’t know, maybe 3rd grade. No, make that 8th grade.  The last time that I thought about a Super Soaker was during my 8th grade Science class.  I had this crazy teacher who had “interesting” ways of making sure that students toed the [...]

Plungers: They’re Not Just for Toilets!

We’ve learned some unique terminology, slang, and colloquialisms during our short time in New Zealand.  I know that you’re just dying to know some of them, so I’m going to share!  Doesn’t that make your day?!  No?  Well, maybe it’ll make your next 5 minutes ;-) There’s one word that has a bit of a [...]

Two Things

(1) I heard back from one of the DHBs {side note: a DHB is a District Health Board.  Auckland has 3 DHBs, and each one oversees at least 1 hospital}.  Things sound promising, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed! (2) The advertisements in NZ are hilarious.  Case in point? Exhibit A – Seen while walking [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
