With half the country covered in snow it's time to, once again, explain how to drive on snow covered roads. As a Minnesota blogger who happens to drive occasionally I feel it is my duty to share with you the winter driving rules as I see them. These winter driving tips should be self evident but apparently they are not because I manage to
I was going to write my annual Bitch About The Cold post but that has been done before and really nothing has changed. Except, I made it 14 more days before I started bitching publicly this year. Before we get into today's rant let me just say that I have always been and will remain on Team Jen. I have an ex husband
I've missed you internet. First it was the trojan* that incapacitated my PC and laptop and then this! I was almost back online when this monster of a storm hit late Friday night. I wasn't the least bit prepared for it and ran to the store, like everyone else in my neighborhood, at 8pm. The shelves were empty but I made do by grabbing some

There is a big pile of leaves in my backyard that were supposed to be raked the day this storm hit. I should actually be thankful
We went to the Como Zoo on Good Friday. Our plan was to go to the Minnesota Zoo and meet my friend and her two kids there. About a mile from the zoo I got a call on my cell phone from my friend. "It's a fucking zoo out here" she yelled over the screaming of her kids in the back seat. Apparently we weren't
It was 22 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. According to the local weather man who has been hiding in fear of being tarred and feathered it was 85 degrees Fahrenheit on this date last year.
It's snowing again! We are expecting ten inches. TEN INCHES! It's almost April for crying out loud. I know I can't do anything to stop it but I'm not sure I can "suck it up" anymore. I don't know what the alternative is but I need to do something to register my dislike of snow in April.
