free 99

i love free stuff. i got the santoku knife and bamboo board set by martha stewart for free. i used a $15 dollar coupon from macy's. yea, even without the coupon, it's a good deal. yay for coupons.

flying solo?

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 02:58:45 GMT

i'm watching real housewives of orange county (nubu isn't home) and they're discussing the issue of traveling with or without your significant other. i didn't realize it was such a big deal to husbands, but two of them on the show never travel without their wives. hmmm. i don't know about that. i think it's ok to fly solo, but so far since we've been married, we haven't. of course, if the occasion called for it, we'd be ok if we traveled alone. i'm wondering if it's a trust issue, control issue, or justwanttobewithmyhusband/wifeincasesomethinghappens issue?

happy (fried) turkey day

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:29:18 GMT

every thanksgiving, nubu's tradition is to fry a turkey. the most he's fried is six. this year will be three. i'm proud to say that i've fried one on my own before and came out pretty and pretty tasty.

no, this one isn't mine. nubu did this one.

i met fried turkey through nubu and i had to dump oven roasted turkey after the first bite. it's been fried turkey the past three years. happy (fried) turkey day!

is your eggo preggo?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:32:40 GMT

i've been updating my gchat status with overweight or can't eat because i feel like hurling every time i do. friends have been asking if there's a bun in the oven due to the status updates. my favorite has been, is your eggo preggo? sadly, my eggo is not preggo. my second favorite, is it twins? happily, it's not twins.

nutter butter

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:53:47 GMT

i was thinking i may continue to use nutter butter instead of the hubs when referring to him on this blog. the hubs is kind of boring, eh? i don't actually call him nutter butter in person...well sometimes just for fun.

nutter butter actually came about when a group of us played a game of scattegories. another one of our game nights. our team included myself, ~~the hubs~~ nutter butter, and a friend of ours.  one of the rounds included a term of endearment beginning with the letter 'n'. if you guys have played the game, you know there's a time limit. we couldn't think of anything so under time pressure, we just wrote down nutter butter. when it came to giving our answers, i lied for the sake of a point and said i call the hubs nutter butter all the time. they let it fly. since then, nutter butter comes up now and then.

on second thought, nutter butter takes forever to type out.  maybe nubu. yea, nubu it is.

happy one year, nutter butter. we made it!

not the romantic type

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:02:48 GMT

from the hubs. he sent me flowers at work and i was totally surprised. he's not the romantic type, but from time to time, he'll throw in a little steve urkel. as you can see, there's one single rose. i mentioned to him last week that i've never received roses from him. he wrote on the card, 'happy anniversary. i got you a rose.' funny guy. wonder what else he has planned for our anniversary weekend.

winos & cheeseheads

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:59:28 GMT

i've become quite the wine drinker these past few months. the hubs is a fan of red wine whereas i prefer the white stuff. i hosted a wine & cheese party over the weekend and shared a bottle of gewurztraminer-um, can't pronounce it, but it's delicious. i think i could drink the entire bottle on my own. can we say fish? it's ok. i have self-control. anyhow, the party went over well. we even squeezed in a game of charades. this is what happens when you get married. instead of going out to the clubs, you host grown-up parties and play dorky games like charades with your dorky friends. *cheers*
