This beautiful exchange

For some reason, lately, Graham has become incredibly needy and insatiable. All day he is moaning at Tony or trying to get his attention. All evening he is staring at us as if to say, “I need something and you miserable humans need to figure it out before I scratch a hole in your carpet.”
We [...]

So far, the best part of going back to work is coming home. After a long day of training, meeting with people and making calls, I enjoy coming home because, when I pull into our garage and walk through the door, I am immediately greeted by Graham.
Each evening, I am reminded of why I love [...]

You will all be happy to know that I am smarter than my dog. Last night, I proved that to be true.
Graham has always been a picky eater. After a few weeks, he would get tired of his dry dog food. We had to start coaxing him to eat it. We would add butter, ranch [...]

Yesterday, I had a second interview with the recruiting job. Over the weekend I received an e-mail telling me that we would be required to give a brief presentation on why we should be hired. I literally cried when I first read the e-mail. I hate speaking in public, and I especially hate it when [...]

While talking about future plans.
him: Why do you want to be a mommy?

him: You mean the dog’s not enough?
me: Well, he won’t let me pick him up and carry him around anymore.
him: Do you like to feed the dog?
me: Sometimes.
him: Well, then you probably won’t like being a mommy.

(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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
