Molly Stinks

We haven’t bathed our dogs in a while and Molly is starting to smell pretty potent. But she doesn’t really smell like a dirty dog. Today she smells kind of…nutty. Like peanut butter or almonds. Yesterday she smelled like yeast. Lucy won’t go anywhere near her and I think its [...]

House Hunting and Other Marital Joys

You know you’ve been living as a student for too long when you tell your real estate agent that your basic criteria for a house is 3 bedrooms, 2 bath with washer/dryer hook ups and a parking space. I actually said this this weekend and our agent laughed out loud at me. “Where [...]

Pomp and Circumstance

I went to school today to pick up my cap and gown because - HURRAY! - they are actually going to let me graduate in May. I get to the bookstore on campus and found my place in the loooong line of tired, graduating students. When I finally got to the front, I [...]

The 5-Year-Old Philosophy

This weekend Chris and I went to a park with some friends and our dogs. We figured there was nothing a little sunshine and frisbee couldn’t solve. We ended up climbing trees. Like 5-year-olds. And you know what? It was awesome! I suggest if you have any stress or [...]

Chivalry is Dead

Katie:    If there was a monster loose in New York City and you knew I was in danger, would you come find me and save me?
Silence.
Chris:    How big is the monster?

Dirt, Digging, and Dogs

Yesterday was a perfect day. It was the kind of day outside that makes you feel guilty for staying inside. Usually on days like that, we take the dogs to a park or field or something outside so they can run and play, but Chris had different plans this weekend. He convinced [...]

My TiVo and Me

My TiVo is starting to pressure me. It just sits there in my TV, keeping track of all the fun shows that I am missing in my life. I have been busier than usual, and when I sat down one night last week with a box of Girl Scout Cookies (don’t judge!) and [...]

Spring Has Sprung!

It is officially Spring. Sam Adam’s Summer Ale is out! Now I’m not a big beer drinker (I’m actually not a big drinker period), but I do love a good cold Summer Ale, and I wait all year to enjoy it. I came home from work and lo’ and behold, Chris had [...]
