As some of you may know, we decided to be Monsters Inc. characters for Halloween this year. For more than a year now people have told us that Bridget looks like Boo from Monsters Inc., so we thought it would be a fun thing to do. You may remember my previous post, and the call […]

Last week Bridget and I made caramel apples. She helped me melt the caramel in the pan, and we dipped them in and drizzled some chocolate, or rolled them in nuts. And after we finished… We dipped our fingers in the leftover melted chocolate and then in the nuts. And we licked the caramel spoon […]

September 18th, 2008 · 8 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, college life, dave, domestic attempts, random, tina

This past weekend we tackled what was the messiest and most cluttered room in our house. Our computer room. Dave and I are both pretty big computer geeks, each in our own way. So over the few years we’ve been married we’ve managed to collect all sorts of parts and gadgets and miscellaneous computer related […]

Bloodsuckers

August 23rd, 2008 · 2 Comments · bridget, random, tina
