The Weekend- October 3-4

Hello folks, it's that time again. TGIF! I'm desperately trying to pump out a blog post while I hear LN thumping away in her crib...she hasn't slept...yet... Well lucky for me we've got a great play date to go to this afternoon with lots of yummy food, which will hopefully lead to an early bedtime. What's on the docket for the weekend? Well, let's see:

The Big Cheese is running in the Medtronic Twin Cities 10K tomorrow morning. He'll be up and at 'em at six bells. LN and I will be sleeping.
The rest of Saturday we have not a thing planned. What's that you say? No plan? Nope!
Alright, we might hit up an indoor playground, such as Eagle's Nest.
Sunday we have our family pictures that were rescheduled from last weekend. Cross your fingers that this rain stops!
Since the Vikings aren't playing (they play Monday night) that means we have no plans for Sunday either. How can that be? No plans for Saturday AND Sunday. Yes kids, that's just the way it happens. Some weekends are over booked and the next we couldn't find something to do if our lives depended on it.
Ok, maybe we'll finally hang that shelf in the bedroom. And put some pictures on the walls. But that's it!

Fun and exciting weekend planned?

Any ideas of what we should do?

Confession #1

I don't fold and put away my clothes. Really, you'd think by the time I graduated from college, got married, bought a house and had a kid that I would be able to take care of myself. But no, there are still a number of things that I can't seem to get the hang of. Like laundry. Well, that's not true. I actually don't mind doing laundry. Washing and drying clothes is no big deal. (Let's not point out that a machine takes care all of it...shall we?) Even un-organized me has a day that I do laundry. Monday. Now granted, it is Tuesday and the first load went in about twenty minutes ago, but hey, I did bring it downstairs yesterday! The washing machine does it's job, the dryer theirs. So the laundry is done, it's been brought upstairs and I pile it on the bed in a overly idealistic display of domesticity; where it sits all day until the guy goes to bed and pushes it onto the floor. Now, if it's started out to be a good day, the pile will end up o

Five Things Friday- Summer Drinks

Hello good peeps! It's currently 79 degrees in sunny Minneapolis and I think it's high time I shared my favorite summer drinks with you. Whether you are chilling on a patio, sipping around a campfire or simply sitting in front of your A/C, here are five tasty, cool, refreshing drinks for your pleasure. What about you? What do you imbibe in the summer? Moscow Mule : I had this for the first time at the beginning of summer and it is just about perfect. Ginger beer (not ginger ale), vodka and lime come together to form the most refreshing drink you can have on a patio. Sweet, spicy, with a nice little kick. Surly's Cynic Ale : A light colored ale with a nice kick at the end. I could drink pints and pints of this brew. It's the ideal beer for a back yard BBQ. Arnold Palmer : Part tart lemonade, part sweet iced tea. Love this combination in the summer time, especially in the afternoons! Nothing like a little caffeine kick to get you through the rest of a

A Giveaway, A Giveaway!

Well fellow inter-friends, I was going to post today about my experience with the Wii Fit. However, upon looking at my post number I realized that today was post #95. Which means that I get to announce the nifty little giveaway I have planned for post #100. Giveaway you say? Oh yes, just keep reading folks. I'm not going to get too introspective and sentimental today. After all, I have to leave myself something to write for the hundredth post. I'm excited that I made it this far. When I started out I really, really hoped that I'd actually write in this space and feel motivated enough to keep writing here. And I do! I like having something to do everyday that is for me, and really (sorry to disappoint you) only me. We can discuss this at more length next week, when I've actually made it to one hundred. So, the details. I want to know more about who you are. Yes, you! The people that come and read my stuff everyday. Or every week. Heck, if you're just pa
