My Ramblings
After a brief, unplanned hiatus. . .
So, November 2 happened. In the words of Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that. I took some time after that to relax, do some stuff for me, injure my shoulder, rest, reflect, think, work, and do stuff around the house. It is interesting to look...
I felt like chicken tonight.
Tonight's dinner was a home-run. Seriously. It was utterly amazing. And simple to boot. I had some left over veggies I wanted to use so defrosted some chicken to go along with it. Here's what I did: Veggies 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into...
1.21 Gigawatts
Not many people know this, but I'm a huge fan of the Back to the Future trilogy. I own the special edition DVD of the three movies and I've been known to just hunker down and watch them all - including with the bonus pop-up trivia feature. I'll often quote...
Let’s be honest, I’m easily amused
On my Google Reader (which if you are not using you need to start ASAP) I have a bunch of feeds in a folder I call Snark. Included in this collection are such sites as Regresty, You Suck at Craigslist, Passive Aggressive Notes, TFLN and I Can Haz Cheezburger....
Quiet night – perfect time for some baking
Made it home after the GOTV Rally at the U with President Obama. It was a good time and I will have plenty of pictures soon. Decided I wanted to have quiet night at home - maybe watch a movie with the pup, do some stuff around the house, and bake some...
I can haz change?
I'm braving a trek to Minneapolis today to go to the U to see President Barack Obama. This is the 1st of his 4 most recent visits where I get to attend as me. Not a staffer, not staffing my boss, but as an individual. I'm kind of excited about this. I love...
Exploding the Pony vs Box o’ Kittehs
Florida Bomb Squads have had a rough few months. First we had the great Explode the Pony incident of 2010. Now we have the Box of Kittens Scare in Orlando. What's next? Troll Dolls shutting down a major interstate?
My herd.
I've always been a big fan of animals and have had pets most of my life. When I was little there was the standard string of carnival goldfish, a parakeet, a gecko (that phase didn't last too long), hamsters, in addition to Snickers the cat (that ended up living...
You’re allergic to what?!?!
After 27 years of life my body decided that it was going to be allergic to a bunch of foods. Let's just say the process of figuring this out was not an easy one and involved a number of trips to the ER, my doctor, various specialists and more tests then I care to...
Minnesota’s Capital City – the Good Twin
For the last 3.5 years I've called St. Paul, Minnesota my home, and it truly has become that - my home, my port in the storm, my happy place. One of the best parts of this city is the Capitol. It is a beautiful building and one of my favorite places to...
