Oh the hips were amovin' today! It was the first of ten session of belly dance class and I finally put my giant ass to use shaking and undulating. My my. Now if only I were coordinated.

In other news. Ryan ran the Twin Cities Marathon yesterday! Good job Ryan! Months and months of training have come to an end! And now he can drink beer and eat ( Read more... )

I was going to write this entry about a crazy dream I had about a wall and death and my boyfriend swinging me up onto a runaway bus in England last night, but two paragraphs in, I realized that it was all kind of boring and difficult for me to explain anyway since I don't do well with talking about obscure dreamy things. So I've decided to scrap it ( Read more... )

Mice in my car!

I lived up to my promise to poison all mice in my car. I have poisoned and trapped them (or my manly boyfriend poisoned and trapped them) and I have sought my revenge! Take that mice in my car! TAKE THAT.

Technically, I have seen six separate mice associated with my car in the past weeks. However, I suspect that frappucino mouse ( Read more... )

On Friday I went home early from work because that's how I roll when I have a bad headache that worsens with every glance at the giant double monitors I have to stare at all day. On my way home, I stopped by the good ole Starbucks to get a frappucino since the magical drink sometimes soothes the aches that take over my head from time to time. I ( Read more... )

I have recently stumbled upon the gold mine that is my junior high diary. It took a combination of going to a performance of the terrific show OMG Before We Got Our Lady Bits, readings from friend Kerin's high school diary, and fessing up to myself that I was a total, utter nerd, and I mean NERD, in high school. I know I've mentioned it before ( Read more... )

It's that time of the year again. Fringe! I swore up and down last year that I was going to take a sabbatical from the Fringe and not do it again ever since it was so much work and stress. But really, I can't resist a theater opportunity when it arises. Plus, there is nothing like the feeling of all that hard work paying off in the form of a show ( Read more... )

Yesterday I think I may have hit two birds with my car. The reason there were two birds and not one in front of my car is because I'm pretty sure they were mating. Mating, road style apparently. They must live for danger because they were not aware of my bumbling Mercury Sable barreling down the road. There was a car directly behind me so I really ( Read more... )

I don't know if anyone knows this, but Sheboygan, Wisconsin is probably the COOLEST PLACE EVER! My supersweet boyfriend took me there over the holiday weekend for some good ole beer tent, beach bum, Lake Michigan fun! We played in a water park, swang on swings, and jumped off of dunes! That's right dunes! I bet you didn't know that Wisconsin had ( Read more... )

I have discovered this magical area just north of my house in Maple Grove called the Elm Creek Park Reserve. Actually, I've known about it for quite some time, and have even visited once or twice. But recently when I was running on this trail that goes by where I live, I saw a sign that indicated Elm Creek Park Reserve was but 1.3 miles away. Since ( Read more... )

Oh Bachelorette! Thou art my weakness and my strength. Thou taketh thy sap and thy ooze and poureth it on my parched heart. My heart that aches for the magical romance that hath be brought on by helicopter rides and European excursions. Where doth my six pack clad harem of men roam? Doth roam in California? New York? Iceland? Turkey? Where art thou ( Read more... )
