Week Three: Evaculating the Dorm!

Thursday, 27 January 2005 09:14 by John

Last night, while attempting to be good husband and make my wife some tea while simlutaneously answering tech support emails, I managed to almost burn down the dorm. The stove was much smarter than me, as it managed to fool me into turning on the wrong burner. Normally this would have just ended up with a hot burner and cold water 6 inches away, but oh no, not for me. A plastic pitcher fell on the burner. Three weeks into marriage, we are down one $2.00 pitcher and one $39.48 burner from the Sears Online Parts store.

My sense of smell is almost completely lacking and therefore I completely missed the smell of burning plastic until Amber came running out of the bathroom. By then it was too late . . . The fire alarm went off at 11:12 PM and the entire dorm had to clear out. Amber and I stood outside in the 40 degree cold wet night with about 100 college girls freezing in their pajamas. I sheepishly explained that I was just trying to make some tea for my wife

One of My Favorite Things About Being Married: Nickles and Dimes

Sunday, 23 January 2005 01:39 by Amber

My husband is a mad scientist.  He can solve any problem with his mad skillz-- Greek, biochemistry, theology, web development-- sky's the limit. . . Hence, to my delight, he has no time for nickles and dimes.  Every day is Easter for me.  I find those shiny gems all over the house-- on the nightstand, in the bathroom, on the kitchen floor, in the fridge. . . I am in marital bliss.  After three days of "Project Nickle" and "Project Dime," I've collected enough cold, hard cash to get a soda from the Coke machine.  That's one dollar, folks.  One dollar in nickles and dimes.  I love being married to my little Einstein.  At this rate, I'm going to pay off the Lexus by March!
