Wants....

I don’t want to work. I just want to stare at my husband’s handsome face all day…and listen to music, go hiking, take photos, take naps.

Rainy Days & Mondays...

Some days you have a rainy, gloomy, stir-crazy day. Especially when you live with a hyper little three year old. The whole day consists of distraction, movies, meals, and time-outs. And just about the time you think you’re gonna lose it—- —-right about dinnertime—- you get the kids, the dog & your best bud out for a rainy night walk. And it’s great. Brings...

I KNEW I had a sweet minivan, I just didn't know...

So this weekend was pretty low key. Couple trips to the park, visit to Grandma’s house, a nice bike ride and May Day Parade…. oh yeah. And we were the vic’s of some auto theft- grand style. Yep, my sweet, sweet van was taken. The weirdest part is, I didn’t even notice until mid-day Sunday. We got back from the park and I noticed it wasn’t there. “Hey,...

Job Interviews give me the runs

Ok, not literally, but I am so freaking nervous about the interview I have in a few hours. And it’s not even the “job-getting” interview! It’s interview one in a potential series of two. (Imagine what I will be like if/when I make it to round 2. I hate interviews. I used to be good at them. Great even. But it’s been a year now (more I guess) since I have had...

Back to the future time machine hot tub thing with...

So, FINALLY after much, much, much anticipation (faux-pation) we went to see Hot Tub Time Machine. (HTTM, hereforth) I should start this muddled, pseudo-review with a couple disclaimers: 1. I LOVE the 80’s. I love any movie that parody’s the mint, radness that was the 80’s. 2. John Cusack was my first movie love. I have had a crush on him for a long time. And no, not...

A Story About Life

For K. Ok. About 8 years ago, I was working as an OVERWORKED manager for a retailer. It was the holiday season. I had a bladder infection. I was the only manager in the store. Suddenly, I realized I needed to urinate. Bad. Worse than ever before & ever since. However, the restrooms were complety across the store. And holding it seemed unlikely. So, I went in the cash office. Tried...

I'll Tumbl for ya...

Has that been used as a blog title on here already? If so, sorry. If not, DAMN I am CLEVER. Now that I am getting more “corporate-y” [read: employed] maybe I will start blogging on this more. I mean, it LOOKS like I am working. It’s more fun than my other options when it comes to “time-killing” and maybe one or two of you will laugh at me, sometimes. I recently...

Sacha plays with Britt

Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it -Whistling tunes we hid in the dunes by the seaside -Whistling tunes we’re kissing baboons in the jungle It’s a knockout If looks could kill, they probably will In games without frontiers-war without tears...

I will fight for their honor!

Why’s everyone hating Air Supply?? All they ever wanted to do was sing about love, being in love, making love, making love out of nothing at all, being lost in love etc etc. What’s wrong with a little love? And with harmonizing like that, love is what you’ll feel. Let’s get open minded.

Fact:

Daytime sex when you are supposed to be working or doing homework is the best. All other sex is a close second. Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself.

Decapitation...tion...tion...

So, last night my boyfriend was watching a movie for homework (I will blog another time about the fact that 75% of his homework is watching movies….) and there was a pretty graphic cow slaughter scene in it. As I was dozing off, I realized that that bloody scene reminded me of a weird, suppressed memory from childhood. I grew up in a small, rural area. The houses were all spaced at least a...

Name Changing is Silly. And this has nothing to do...

So, as of January 31, 2009, the old divorce is final. I guess it takes over 6 months from the time you decide to get divorced to the time you actually ARE divorced. That alone is a pain. But the REAL pain is the aftermath. Changing my name back to ME. Apparently, if you get divorced, they want to really make it painful to get your identity back in line.

2009. Year in Review. A little Late.

Quit my Job. Went on a few trips. Ran two half-marathons. (Peed my pants during one.) Reconnected with some old buddies. Disconnected with some stupids. Got divorced. Fell in love. Moved. 2009- Best year so far.

Nothing Smells....

…Quite like a Minneapolis District Court waiting room. I just want them to take this ticket off my records. Jerks. Now I’m sure to catch some communicable disease. Ish.
