Fathers

A happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there yesterday!

While I realize I’ve been light in the posting department lately, I wanted to give a little shout out to dads.

Dads are awesome aren’t they?

I mean, don’t get me wrong, moms are awesome too.  But I’m a firm believer that having . . . → Read More: Fathers

All by my lonesome

This week, everyone up and left me.  Just like that!  Can you believe it?  Total lame-sauce.  I suppose they didn’t leave me behind on purpose, it’s just how it turned out.  But still…

On Thursday the husband left for a 4 day backpacking trip through the Southern Utah wilderness.  As he has been finishing . . . → Read More: All by my lonesome

At last…

So much news lately!  So much to write!  And yet, I seem to be so easily distracted by eating peanut butter and honey sandwiches (have you tried adding bananas? Delicious!) and watching episodes of Hoarders, which is straight-up ridiculous. But really?  I’m spent. I’m forcing myself to relax a little this weekend, which has . . . → Read More: At last…

Working for the weekend

Today is Wednesday which I am very happy about, because in two days it will be Friday, and after Friday comes a weekend which means I don’t have to work.  I live for the weekends.  Saturday means I get to stay in comfy pants most the day and get things organized and to feel . . . → Read More: Working for the weekend

Birthday boy

See this dude right here?

Back off ladies, that’s my husband.  He’s pretty awesome.

Yesterday was his birthday.  He turned 30.  Thiiiirrrrttyyyyyyy.  He likes when I say it nice and slow like that, to really appreciate the sound of it.  He also likes when I say things like, “The big 3-0, huh?  Wow!” . . . → Read More: Birthday boy

Who are you and what have you done with my husband?

Lately, I don’t recognize my husband.

I used to know him as the guy in the house with his eyes glued to Sports Center. Or a Yankees game.  Or Jazz game.  Or pretty much any game at all.

These days though, I find him curled up in the corner of the couch, TV off.  . . . → Read More: Who are you and what have you done with my husband?

Taming the beast

There are a lot of words you could use to describe my husband:  Competitive.  Sentimental. Hard-working.  Athletic.  Fun.  Soft-spoken.

CARNIVORE.

And not just as in “oh sure, a little grilled chicken would be nice.”  I mean carnivore as in, “give me the biggest slab of prime rib you’ve got-  and RARE!”  We’re talking about . . . → Read More: Taming the beast

Take me out to the ballgame

For the first time in my entire life I have become (somewhat) interested in baseball.  I actually watched the majority of the World Series and the games leading up to it.  Some of them I even watched on my own!  FREAKY, I know! I hardly even recognize myself.  A couple of years ago we . . . → Read More: Take me out to the ballgame

Like clockwork

Men are so weird.

I grew up in a family with all sisters, no brothers, so I don’t think I really got the full idea of how guys are.  Sure, my dad lived there, but he was my dad.  Needless to say, getting married was a pretty big eye opener for me.  And I’ve . . . → Read More: Like clockwork
