finally growing up...

After 10+ years of operating a vehicle, I finally get how to use cruise control.

Better late than never.

the fishing series

Please enjoy Doug's catches, none of them large enough/edible enough to keep.

Caught on the second cast!


Bit bigger... not bad...


Dangit.


Not shown: The fishing/game warden dude checking Doug's fishing license, and then walking back past us a little later carting someone away. We assume they were taking the man to prison for not having a fishing license. Don't mess.

lake anna

Sunday night we camped with some friends up at Lake Anna. We had a sweet campsite right near the lake, so on Monday Doug fished, I read, and we played on the beach. The weather was perfect, the company was delightful, and I inhaled a ton of roasted marshmallows. Now THAT is a successful camping trip.

It's only an hour away, so you better believe we'll head back there again.

We neglected to take any pictures until Monday, so these few will have to do.

A snake I almost stepped on. Fun fact: I h-a-t-e snakes and Doug loves them, yet I'm ALWAYS the one that finds them when we're out and about. It kills me.

11 p.m. kickoff

Who would want to play football at 11:00 p.m. on a weeknight?!


Oh yes, this guy would. Let the intramural football season begin!

new profile pic

Late last night I informed Doug we needed a new picture for our blog profile.





And those were the good ones. I think we'll try another time...

don't quit our day jobs

That's what we learned from laser tag this weekend. No matter how many times I play, I will always be the idiot who doesn't really know what's she's doing.

i'm sorry, what?!

Have you heard about KFC's new Double Down Chicken "Sandwich"? Bacon, cheese, and 2 chicken breasts instead of bread.



What the what?!

Thanks to foodgeekery for finding this treasure.

I wish I could have been in this KFC pitch meeting... "See chicken is BETTER than bread! No carbs! This is practically a health food! And just think of all the grease you can get directly on your hands."
