This beautiful exchange

The other day, Tony and I had a conversation and it went a little something like this…
me: Sweetheart, can you please not put an empty tea pitcher back into the refridgerator? How am I suppose to know we’re out of tea?
him: Well, can’t you just come and check it periodically to make sure I have [...]

(These are not scenerios from the Evans household.)
One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his Sweatshirt.
Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, “What setting do
I use on the washing machine?”
“It depends,” I replied. “What does it say on your shirt?” He yelled back,
“University of Oklahoma.” And they say [...]

Then, we have a bit of a problem. My husband doesn’t like chihuahuas. Hmmm…
Go find out what breed of puppy you are and share it with the rest of us!

You Are a Chihuahua Puppy

Small, high strung, and loyal.
You do best in the city with a adults - young kids could crush you!

Does it look like this outside your window?

It has been raining like this for three days now. I’m tired of the rain. And, our dog is developing a serious case of cabin fever since he’s not been able to play outside much and we haven’t been able to take him on walks. Yesterday, there was [...]

Over the weekend, we watched the movie Syriana. As far as movies go, it was a slow story without much to move it along. However, we were impressed with the balance in which it presented very relevant statements about the world today. As an ensemble story, it pulled together many different sub-stories that all centered [...]

Yeah, whatever.
He looks intimidating, but that’s as far as it goes. He wants to be tough and protective, he really does. But he’s just not sure what to do. Earlier today, Tony had me pinned down, trying to pluck an eyebrow hair without my consent. (Don’t ask, weird “thing” of his). I was yelling and [...]

While watching the new Pride & Prejudice movie.

him: Can you pause it while I go to the bathroom?
me: Sure. (chuckle)
him: What?
me: I think it’s cute that you like this movie so much you want to me to pause it so you don’t miss anything.
him: It’s not cute. It’s very rugged and manly.
Conversation one evening before [...]

To be very honest, today I am uninspired when it comes to posting on my blog. It’s not that things are not happening in my life. I’m job hunting, battling allergies and working on our budget. But, none of those things are interesting enough to put up on the internet. So, after thinking long and [...]

What book are you currently reading?
I have just finished reading French Women Don’t Get Fat and plan to re-read Pride and Prejudice. Tony and I just saw the movie (new version with Keira Knightley) and it has made me want to read the book again. (Although, I do recommend the movie.) So, I guess, technically, [...]

On Friday evening, we cleaned out the gutters. Oddly enough, we were pretty excited to do such a task. Right now, scrubbing the grout in the kitchen sounds like a great way to spend an afternoon, if only because it is our own tile and grout. I suppose that’s part of the joy of being [...]
