Julia’s New Year’s resolution this year was dubbed “Project B.” She vowed to take better care of her body. She’s been working out, eating more fruits and vegetables, and most of all, drinking more water. At any point on any given day, you’re likely to find me with a glass of water in my hand. [...]
Well… I’ve done it. I finally broke down and bought something I never thought I would: a Playstation 3. In my adult life, I’ve never really been much of a gamer. When I was a child, I played games all the time, and was pretty good at them as well. This doesn’t really hold true [...]
Anyone who reads my wife, Julia’s, blog knows that she is terrified of spiders. Whenever a spider is found in our home, I am usually summoned to destroy it. Unfortunately, “power washing” has never been a part of the vocabulary de landlord. The siding of our apartment building is generally pretty gross. It’s recently gotten [...]

I’ve been a married dude for nearly a month now. The honeymoon is over, the gifts are unwrapped, and things are finally starting to calm down a bit, right? *snort* I wish. My first week back at work was no tamer than the week I left. It’s been sheer chaos ever since I came back, [...]

Well… vacation is over. It was wonderful, although not nearly long enough. Friday, afternoon, Jules and I went out to my mom and dad’s house for the weekend. We were both really excited. I don’t get to see my family nearly enough, and there is nothing more relaxing than spending a weekend out there. This [...]
Behold Julia’s latest creation. That’s a normal-sized cupcake holder next to it, just to give you some perspective. The plan is stick one of these bad boys on top of the cupcake tree at our wedding. Jules and I are going out to my parents’ house this weekend, and she’s taking her jumbo cupcake pan [...]
T.G.I.S.

What a bear of a week. The boss was out, everyone needed something right now, and I feel like I’ve spent more time helping other people do their crap than actually taking care of my own. But this is now all in the past. The weekend is before me… and I’m pretty happy about it. [...]
If you have not yet read Julia’s blog on why I should try yogurt, you should probably do so before going any further. Dear Julia: You have presented several compelling arguments on why I should give yogurt the ol’ college try. I’ve done much research on the subject since reading your blog, and here is [...]
Look At Me Go!

Before we begin, I need to point out that my sweet, “delicate” little fiancee can belch like a trucker. We’ve been sitting here watching the Cardinals game, and every so often, I’ll feel our apartment vibrate as she lets loose. I don’t know what that root beer is doing to her, but its effects are [...]
