Hand Surgery Went Well, Thank You

You've no idea how long it has taken me to write that title, or this sentence for that matter. Turns out typing is considerably more difficult when you've recently had hand or wrist surgery. It's not just the hand I had surgery on that is making mistakes, apparently the affliction travels to the surgery free hand. Oh, there's a photo in this post that might

You Know You’re a Minnesotan When

As a lifelong Minnesotan (except for those years I lived in Washington, Wisconsin, Texas and Colorado) I am always amazed at how different we are from the rest of the country. Okay, we probably aren't that different, we just have different regional tastes and traditions. Still, as Minnesota has made it's way into the vernacular thanks most to movies like Grumpy Old Men, Fargo and

2019 Year in Review

It's the end of the year, the last day to be exact, so what better time to write a 2019 Year in Review post?  I didn't write for my blog that much this year, and my traffic tanked because of it. I'm changing that in 2020. Still, when I did write it was usually because something big happened. Some of the big things I did

It’s All Fun and Games and then You’re Wearing the Cone of Shame

This summer has been a shitshow. Busy as ever, hot as a fuck and I swear to God I am losing my mind. The new puppy is awesome, she's super smart (can already sit, shake and lie down on command) and such a sweetie pie. She also has tons of energy and sharp little puppy teeth. Ruby has been wonderfully patient with all the puppy

I Used 439 Words to Say “Fuck You”, and Now I’m Going to Use Even More

This post is going to live up to the blog title - you've been warned. I just used 439 words to say "fuck you", but in a nice way. I posted that little status update last night. I vague booked, though I am sure everyone knew I was talking about my ex husband. Many people praised me for being pedantic and asked what I said.

So You Want to Get a Puppy…

If you're thinking about getting a puppy - don't. Actually do, they're adorable and cute and cuddly and floppy and wonderful. They just don't sleep when you want them to and they poop and pee a lot, especially when you aren't looking. We recently got a new puppy. We went through a border collie rescue and found the most adorable puppy. This was not a

Adventures in Online Dating & Ghosting

Donny and Marie at the Flamingo!!!!

OMG I got to see Donny and Marie at the Flamingo in Las Vegas!!! This was one of those bucket list items that I never thought would happen. And truth be told, I hadn't considered seeing Donny & Marie (but mostly Donny), since I was probably 12 - which makes it even that much better!! I've been attending the International Builder's Show this past week.

2018 in Review

It's been a while since I did a Year In Review post. Hell, it's been a while since I did a post. It's been even longer that my posts lived up to the title of my blog. Not sure this will reach that lofty goal, but it'd be nice to get back to the basics of this blog instead of being all movie reviews -
