Tough week. Tough Christmas. Tougher weekend.
I’ll be back soon. Maybe a little different.
Maybe not.
But don’t count me out yet.

So I went to bed.
And woke up at 9AM.
All ready to go out shopping for Mom’s gift. I was really fucking happy to have woken up so early.
Yeah. Merry fucking Christmas. Turns out it was 9PM.
BUT! BUT! I get to watch Princess Bride. Yay. What are the odds that … More

Hm.
Hm.
So I thought I’d be smart. I moved my car yesterday afternoon, thinking there’d be a snow emergency declared and I’d have to move it anyway.
Brilliant! Inspired! How smart am I!
Not so much, it turns out. Because I still had to move my car this morning.
Which totally would have … More

Huh. Despite appearances, only about 50% of what I write ends up in here.
I know! So you can only imagine what I end up shelving. One in particular keeps bugging me though.
So I will just say that I am increasingly troubled by the bailouts and some of the other revelations … More

I got my Holiday cards printed today. So for those whose addresses I have, expect one. Eventually.
I was contemplating sending out for them, but decided to get them done at my old work. They have a different printer and paper stock now, so they’re not quite as snazzy. But they’re … More

Let me explain (for those who don’t know better) how winter works in Minneapolis:
Wait, no. Strike that. Reverse it. Let me explain how winter does not work in Minneapolis:
It does not get down to below zero temperatures in the middle of December. It just doesn’t. … More

Cops in Minneapolis! Woo hoo!
I wasn’t even paying attention until I heard “31st and Chicago” and thought… Well, it couldn’t be Minneapolis. Could it?
‘Tis! ‘Tis!
And as an added bonus, prostitution sting!
I didn’t recognize anyone though.
I mean, not that I expected to or anything. Just… you never know.
Speaking of … More

I bought myself a Christmas present today.
Is it too early to do that? I was feeling a little guilty. To be completely honest it was actually something for my business and something I’ve needed for about a year so it wasn’t exactly an impulse buy.
And… that’s about as exciting … More

I found a Ho-Ho in my kitchen drawer.
At least that’s what I think it is. I get all those Hostess snack cake things confused. I have had maybe eight of those things in my lifetime. And that was only when I was a little girl and would go to friends’ … More

I really don’t have anything to say. I am pretty much wiped out right now with work and design and quotes. But I’m also having trouble falling asleep so I might as well write something.
So apparently some time last week there was a flood in … More

So I’m sure you’ve noticed over the years that in most commercials for large companies portraying a man and a woman romantically entwined, a woman with kids or just a woman who seems to be a homeowner, they often make sure to flash a wedding ring at the camera. Because … More
Oh that does it.
That does it.
My loud upstairs neighbor (who you may remember from posts such as “What the hell? My neighbor is playing Sheryl Crow?” and “My neighbor seems to be having a hard time finding his bed tonight” and “Seriously?!? Sheryl Crow again?!”) has done something so unforgiveable … More
December 6, 2008
Ah. It’s snowing in Minneapolis. I went out for an early dinner with mom and tonight I had decided to cuddle into blankets and read a book.
But I changed my mind. It’s snowing out (or it was when last I checked) so I think it’s time to decorate for the holidays. … More

So in the mail today I got my first holiday gift for my business. One of my clients is seriously on top of their game. And it was pretty standard formal business speak:
Happy Holidays to PCC from So-and-So at XYZ Company, Inc.
Thanks for all your work on the website throughout … More

So I assume I’m late to the party, but I just read an article on a security guard who was trampled to death in a Walmart on “Black Friday” by shoppers rushing to get the best deals.
What the fuck is wrong with us as a culture? Seriously.
It just brings out … More
So when I was in Arizona toward the end of the trip I started getting the sniffles. I figured my allergies were acting up with the different climate. So I figured it would just go away once I got home.
Yeah. This morning I woke up with a full-blown cold.
Leave … More
