Ha! I remember about 80 million years ago when Roger and I first started dating. He asked me how my day was and I said it was fantastic because...and proceeded to list off all of the things I got accomplished that day. For me, productive days are good days. When I have too many things on my to-do list, I feel stressed and getting a lot of them ( Read more... )

There are of course millions of things I wanted for my birthday this year. Most of them were things for around my condo, but none of which I would probably have room or a use for until Ellen moved out. I saw that Target had palm trees and I decided I really wanted one...just cuz it would be fun. So for the last few weeks I have been talking all ( Read more... )

Technology is so cool. The tv that was $2500 just two months ago? Yeah, its only $2100 now. And before it was $2200 through an online store...now its $1900. I still don't think I am ready to spend that much money on a tv, but how much do you think it will be if I wait another few months!?!?!?! Football season?

I am sitting out on my deck right now watching the St Louis Park Parktacular parade. Man, its been a while since I have seen a parade. First of all, its kind of cool that the route goes right by my condo; I don't have to leave home ( Read more... )

I bought a pool pass today. You have no idea how excited I am. I got a pass that means I can only go after 5 pm. Which is fine cuz that is when the lap swimming is. But! There is also a waterslide!!!! Oh yeah. Guess what I will do after I am done with my workout ( Read more... )
