My new favorite song is Coldplay's Speed of Sound. Took me a week of blasting the radio every time it would come on, but I finally realized and bumped Snow Patrol down to second.

I might even buy the new Coldplay cd when it comes out, sounds like it should be pretty good.

Oh, and I'm eating trail mix with raisins. I HATE raisins, but I'm eating ( Read more... )

I ended up going to see Star Wars with Mark this weekend, and I actually enjoyed it. I hated #4, 5, and 6, thought 1 was ok and liked 2, so figured I had to see 3 to finish the series off. Everything came together and Mark was so happy that I went with him - he's so used to seeing movies like that with his friends, I think it threw him off when I ( Read more... )

Yesterday, being the first day this year that was warm enough to use it, I discovered that my car's a/c doesn't work. Hottest drive home EVER. And then I was really annoyed - my car is 2.5 years old and I take excellent care of it - it shouldn't be falling apart yet. And then I got super annoyed because I just hit 38,000 miles, and my warranty ( Read more... )

Mark and I went to the drive-in for date night last night. It was a lot of fun because I was with Mark, and we brought some blankets and snacks and stuff, but Kicking and Screaming wasn't nearly as good as it could have been. I think I'm always going to compare Will Farrell's movies to Old School, and it's pretty tough to beat perfection. (Ok, ( Read more... )

Seriously, it's so hard to believe this guy walked out of the hospital a few hours after being hit like this...

Watch the video hereI think they played it on the Today show this morning, but this happened HERE, in Minnesota. I know exactly where ( Read more... )

My allergies have been killing me these last few weeks. Runny nose, sinus pressure, sneezing, sinus headaches - the works. So I, little Miss "I don't take medicine", took some allergy medicine today. Daytime Benadryl-D, to be exact. And it's knocking me out ( Read more... )

There's an interesting article in the Star Tribune today on color choices in neighborhoods. I'm not a huge fan of all-beige neighborhoods. I prefer neighborhoods filled with color, which explains why we moved to where we did...my favorite houses consist of one in two different shades of olive green with cream trim, and another in rust with tan ( Read more... )

The honeymoon is booked! Well, the "pretend" one is, at least. We're just going up north for the week after the wedding, and then the "real" honeymoon will be this winter when we really need a break from the cold. We didn't want to miss any Minnesota summer weather, then again we didn't want to go right back to work like nothing happened, so we' ( Read more... )

I love these chairs - they would look so cute on our front porch!! I've been on the lookout for the perfect chairs now that we have the space, and these are pretty close to what I want.

What a great weekend :)

On Saturday, the most spectacular rainbow ever hung on the horizon behind our house for a good 20 minutes - it was so wide and dark, almost like a billboard hanging above the trees. We sat looking at it for a while until the sun slowly set and it faded away. I love it out there, the sky feels so big and I feel like we ( Read more... )
