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… Read More Old Trash vs. New Trash
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… Read More Chicago in February
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.

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… Read More A Funny Chicago Story
I’ve lost my brain. Do you know where I might be able to find it? Seriously – yesterday was bad to begin with because of my cold, but then I did something kind of embarrassing. I was just getting out of the shower when I heard a knock at the door. I knew it was… Read More I’ve Lost My Brain
Happy Birthday to my wonderful, handsome husband 🙂 He’s an old man – 28 years old! This is the 6th birthday that I’ve been able to celebrate with him, and each year I’m more grateful than the last.

During my wolf down your food in 5 minutes or less lunch break at work yesterday, I called Chris to ask if I’d left my blackberry at home.

Let me start out by saying that today’s my day off, and that inside every guy there is a dormant 5 year old, just waiting to come out. Since I don’t have to work today, I slept in till almost 8:30, and Chris was in bed till 9:30 at least. After eating breakfast, Chris was… Read More The Hidden 5 year old in us All
Chris knows that I love to get presents (what girl doesn’t?), and he knows that these presents don’t have to be big or expensive – just gestures to let me know that he’s thinking of me. This morning, I get up at the leisurely hour of 9:30 (I’m working evenings tonight, so I don’t go… Read More Thanks, Sweetie 🙂
I neglected to do the Saturday Summary this weekend, so instead, I’m just going to do a quick little weekend wrap-up (I knew you all would forgive me)… Friday, K, O, and I had an absolute blast at Patriot Place.

Apparently my subconscious is extremely protective of me. Allow me to offer up some examples (try not laugh)… (1) I visited my sister S just after finals during my freshman year at Purdue. She was living in Arizona at the time. The first night we get there, S gets the “brilliant” idea to scare me… Read More Saved by my Subconscious!
Hello my lovely readers! The weather in New England this weekend was gorgeous – sunny, clear, and 86 degrees 🙂 The only downside is that the upstairs of our townhouse was seriously hot that first night. I could definitely relate with the Jane Austen quote that hangs from our bathroom wall… Chris and I took… Read More Spring Pictures!
I love shopping for Chris – he’s easy to buy for, loves just about anything I pick out, and I get to buy clothes without worrying about how I’ll look in them 🙂 Usually shopping for Chris involves trying to find stuff that’s both appropriate for a 27 year old professor to teach in, but… Read More Shopping for the Guys
