We didn’t end up calling a repair man to fix our washing machine. Instead, Chris thought he could fix it. I am always hesitant about this solution. Whenever Chris offers to fix something, it usually takes about a week for him to get a plan together in his head. It takes [...]
Our washing machine is breaking down. It hasn’t broken completely yet, but it is in the process. You can turn it on, but it won’t run a full cycle. I’m having a hard time dealing with this.
Everyone knows of my love/hate relationship with laundry (See The Great Laundry Crisis of 2008). My [...]

Katie: I could never be a professional athlete because I don’t have the passion.
Chris: You could never be a professional athlete because you don’t like to sweat.
As you know, we have put our dogs on diets because our little one, Lucy, was so fat that the vet worried she might break her own legs (see The Lean Weenie). Dieting then seems like it is a responsible action for a pet owner to take. But you are wrong. Instead, [...]
Riddle me this - how are so many people able to find pants that are the appropriate length for their legs? This just baffles me! Sadly, I was not blessed with long legs or even legs of a normal length. I’m short and sweet, with the majority of my “height” being my [...]
I think we killed our dogs. As you all know, we had to put our two precious doggies in a kennel for a week while we lived it up in Houston for Chris’ conference. All things considered, the kennel was great. They got to stay together. They had a doggie door [...]
Now I realize that the things I am about to complain about are trivial compared to, say, world hunger and issues in the Middle East, but this is what stress in my life looks like right now:
1. I am three weeks late on submitting homework assignments for one of my classes this semester because [...]
(DISCLAIMER: This is a very gushy entry. I am allowed one of these a month, so just suck it up. Lovey dovey is sometimes just a part of our young, married confessions. Deal with it!)
Champaign, fireworks, diamonds, plaques. These are things that typically signify a major event in [...]
Today I discovered my inner Mexican Princess.
Chris had to be at the conference all day doing boring theater work things so I took the opportunity to reach out to the Southwestern culture in a way that is universally recognized as unifying: shopping at Macy’s. I didn’t intentionally set out to find my inner [...]
Sometimes when I do something that my parents would never let me do when I was a kid, I giggle to myself. You know, like when I buy sugared cereal or a candy bar in the check out line at the grocery store. Or when I order dessert at a restaurant. Or [...]
