Tuesday, Monday?


So, was yesterday Monday? I'm not really sure, you see I've been gone and I'm still not sure what way is up. This week going by fast is not a good thing. We have an action packed weekend coming up and I think I'll be doing laundry well into next year (which, incidentally is only thirty-one days away. Eh.)

I'll have a post about our trip as soon as I can get the pictures off of the camera. And delete some. I think I took a thousand pictures over the course of five days...no lie.

Now I need to go finish my book for book club, tomorrow night. Who knew that camping with a toddler doesn't lead to much reading time?

Did everyone have a nice Thanksgiving? The Mr. and I ate deli turkey sandwiches and Mac n' Cheese made over the fire. LN had a banana. The people camping next to us? Yeah, they had turkey, stuffing, potatoes, beans, some cranberry thing and pie. We kinda wanted to kill them. Or just wished they would have offered to share. Wasn't that what the first Thanksgiving was all about? ;) And isn't it amazing what you can find out about people when you are 'living' ten feet from one another?

Until tomorrow folks, have a great Tuesday!

    Can't wait to hear about the trip! Also, they should have shared the meal...that is the whole point of Thanksgiving!

    i would've offered you some of our 20 lb turkey!

    one of our other 4 attendees snotted askily at patrick what he was bringing (she brought mashed potatoes)... he calmly replied...well, the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, corn, snacks for before and connie's making an apple crisp... you totally could've had some if we were camping next door!

    miss you SSSSO much! can't wait to see you this month sometime!

The New Year's List: Grad School

So last night I officially crossed one item off of my New Years To-Do List . I attended the Hamline University's open house for the School of Education's Graduate Programs. It's part of my, "What Do I Want To Do When I Grow Up" process. LN is getting older and I need to figure out what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. We may or may not have another child, so either way I want to get a move on and start something for myself. A degree in Anthropology can take you a lot of places, but one place it can't take you is to the Employment section of the newspaper. At least if you're looking for a subsection with it in the title. That leaves one with a host of choices. Too many choices in my opinion and that's why it's taken me this long to decide on my next step. I started the application process last night. I'm not sure what the final outcome will be. I'm choosing to wait and make that decision until after I've heard whe...

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 l...

A Confession

First let me come clean.  I'm pregnant. Now, let the next thirty-one weeks commence where I talk of nothing else except my growing belly, appetite and need for Cheetos.  Not really, but I will say this; I'm tired.  So tired that normal everyday tasks that should only take me a few minutes suddenly sit around, unfinished, for days at a time.  Examples?  The dishwasher, the dirty dishes, groceries (the non-perishable ones, duh), folding the laundry, making the bed.  I mean, there are much better things to do, like, stuff handfuls of popcorn in my mouth while watching all the episodes of Angel, in order.  Don't judge me, I am returning to school in a few weeks; maybe this is just me trying desperately to channel myself as a Freshman in college?  Who the heck knows.  What I do know that my "golden time," or nap time as it is commonly called, was once used to clean, cook, tidy up, rest and blog.  Well, you know how much blogging I've done o...
