Today the big goal was to sit around and do nothing…maybe watch the Twins play, stay in my pajamas, shmoop up the pup-n-squeaks, catch some of the Impractical Jokers marathon…you know, all the things that make life worth living. But that’s not really what happened. Even though the weather was perfect for being a gigantic, [...]

Looking Forward
Looking forward to the weekend. I’ve been really busy at work, and I’ll probably do some more of it this weekend, since Nate will be out turkey hunting. Bleh.

Sunday, Lazy Sunday
We’re lazy today. Both Nate and I took a nap during the Twins’ game. The only thing that got broken during the bachelor party was a salt shaker, which is both excellent and pleasantly surprising. If you wanna know the truth, I hid everything I didn’t want ruined — just so I wouldn’t have any [...]

Big Weekend Ahead
We have a big weekend ahead. Technically, just Nate does. He’s hosting a bachelor party for his cousin Scott at our house, and my responsibility is to take the dogs and leave. Scott and Matt are coming up tonight to get things set up, and then the party starts tomorrow afternoon. Zoiks. I’m bringing the [...]

Exceeding Expectations
Tonight I was talking to Nate about some work-related stuff. I love him. Here’s what he said: It sounds like you’re exceeding expectations, so, y’know, you might wanna just dial back a bit.

Happy Easter!
Nate and I spent the day with family at Grandma’s house in the city. We both decided that we’re real happy to live in the country now. It was fun to see everyone and eat too much food. Papa Jon (Fizz) mentioned how nice my eyebrows looked, which is always nice. Hehe.

It’s Muh Birfday
Thank you Leah for coming to show me how to use my hot glue gun! (And for letting me know that it’s a sucky glue gun — not all my fault!) Had a good, pretty non-eventful day. Cleaned some dog puke off the carpet, since Finny’s grass eating habit has now re-manifested itself with the [...]

All I Want…
All I want for my birthday tomorrow is for someone to come over and show me how to use a damned hot glue gun. CRIPES!

Just in Case…
My boss cracks me up quite often. We often share stories of similarly bad days at the office. He has taken it a step further, hanging the following on his office wall. I’m pretty sure it’s just Tylenol, but nonetheless…I hear ya, man.

Powerful and Disturbing
Wanna check out a website as powerful as it is disturbing? Check out Project Unbreakable. In October of last year, Grace Brown began a photography project called Project Unbreakable. Grace uses photography to help heal sexual abuse survivors by photographing them with posters that hold quotes from their attackers. Rape survivor and advocate for victims [...]

Bad Days
I had one of my top 5 worst-ever days at work today. Just general shittiness, you know. If I’ve told any of you about it privately, don’t comment on it here (of course). February, so far, is not off to a good start.

My Role
I’ve figured out that my role at Zumba is to be the girl that makes every other girl feel better about herself.

If You Haven’t…
If you haven’t read my friend James’s post, please read it. It’s very cool. So not to be all publicly corny, but I’m real glad this guy joined my department. I like weird, interesting people with weird, interesting stories. And good brains. This guy is weird and interesting, with stories to match. Sure beats the whole, “so [...]

Otorhinolaryngology
I’ve been feeling sick for a couple weeks…sometimes really sick, sometimes just a little under the weather. Last night I could hardly stand it; felt like my entire head was gonna explode. So I committed to seeing a doctor today. And that’s what I did. I have ear and sinus infections. Hopefully the antibiotics will [...]

Stuff, and Things
I think I’m gonna sign up for a booth each weekend at our local farmers’/crafters’ market, beginning this spring and summer. But first, I need to make sure I have farmy/crafty things to sell at such a booth. Which shouldn’t be hard, right? I think it’d be fun–make a little extra cash, do something fun [...]

A Far Cry from City-Slickin’
Remember when I lived in the city? I do. And my, oh my…how things have changed in less than one year! Tonight Nate and I were standing on the front porch while the dogs were outside. We saw lights on from one house, across the pasture and woods, and I found myself slightly irritated. “Ugh,” [...]

Feelin’ Old
You know what makes me feel old? When I’m “friended” on Facebook by kids I used to baby-sit, and they have their own husbands/wives and kids now. Cripes. In other news, happy birthday to my Uncle Don. Though he’s been gone for years and years, I still think about him every day. One of the [...]
