The One Where I Tell You What I Really Did in December

That sounds all dark and mysterious, doesn’t it?  It’s like I’m going to tell you that we didn’t really go to Disney World.  Rest assured, we really did spend a week in December doing this… What I couldn’t really share until now, however, is what we did for the rest of December.  (Not because I [...]

10 Reasons I Love My Wife (Written By My Husband)

A Note From Angie It is not often that I have guest posts here.  But, today is one that I never expected that I would have here.  A guest post by Eric!  It all came to pass after I got mad about an action he did each time he and my Dad were beating my [...]

The Anniversary Post Where I Focus on the Bad Times

Dear Eric, I have scheduled this to be posted at 2:30 pm purposefully. Do you remember where you were at 2:30 pm exactly 15 years ago? You were that 20 year old guy standing in front of a church that was filled far more than you had wanted it to be.  I was the 19 [...]

7 Quick Takes: February 11, 2011 (Vol. 70)

~ 1 ~ I mentioned earlier this week that I was getting sick.  I still don’t feel well.  To make it worse, Jack kept complaining about feeling tired on Wednesday.  I just figured that it was a really busy day (since it was), so I didn’t worry about it.  It wasn’t until after he turned [...]

In Case You’re Still Keeping Score

Last week, I challenged Eric to comment on my 7 Quick Takes post, since he says he reads those, but then can never seem to remember what I wrote on that particular post.  (See #4 on that Quick Takes list) When I asked him if he had read it (after he hadn’t commented), he said [...]

In Case You’re Keeping Score

While Eric and I were sitting watching TV (catching up on Season Five of How I Met Your Mother), I casually asked Eric, “So, did you read my 7 Quick Takes this week?” “Yeah, I think so,” he answered.  (It turns out that he did skim it, as he recognized the pictures.) “Oh, I don’t [...]

7 Quick Takes: September 24, 2010 (Vol. 54)

~ 1 ~ Molly’s sixth birthday is coming up, and God bless that girl, even when offered a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party (just to be fair, since the boys had a shared one), she requested to have a party at home. So – anyone have any fabulous party ideas for girls who are five [...]

My Husband Rocks My Socks Off

Okay — so I don’t usually wear socks.  Let’s put this fact aside, shall we? I first laid eyes on Eric just over 19 years ago.  (When you consider that we’re in our early to mid thirties, that’s none too shabby.)  We were at a dance on the weekend before the start of my freshman [...]

7 Quick Takes: September 10, 2010 (Vol. 52)

~ 1 ~ I sat down to write my 7 Quick Takes this week, and then had a feeling of guilt that I should start a training that I have to do for work (the therapy I do part time with young children with delays and disabilities).  I had 45 days from the day I [...]
