Forgive me, readers, for I have neglected you. It’s been six days since my last blog, and, well, I do have some really good excuses to throw at you. In an ideal world, I would have infinite amounts of time to where I could do every single thing I want all in one day, but, [...]
As you may know, I love to do puzzles. I’ve blogged about puzzling before, and I hoped that I would start puzzling again on a regular basis. But alas, that did not happen. I haven’t done another puzzle since. Until now. I was at Barnes and Noble today, and I found myself looking in their [...]
The Grammy Awards are a funny business, don’t you think? Ever since I can remember, I’ve never been a fan. I’m not saying I wasn’t a fan of music, but back in the day it seemed that the Grammy Awards never represented the music I was listening to. Of course I was always the odd [...]
I spent two and a half hours at my local library with my daughter the other day, and while she entertained herself playing in the “kitchen” in the children’s section, I needed something to pass my time besides waiting for my crops to harvest in my Smurf’s Village. So I grabbed about ten children’s books [...]
There are so many blogs out there about arts and crafts and creating beautiful things out of toothpicks and paste, and instead of inspiring me to become One of the Craft, they all just make me feel inadequate. Thirty seconds on Pinterest, and I feel like a loser. I know it’s not these people’s intention, [...]
We as a human race tend to complain about a lot about things. That’s just part of our nature. Something bothers us, we complain. But in the grand scheme of things, none of these things are really valid things to complain about. It’s not like we’re complaining about no clean water to drink, or [...]
Yesterday I did a post about Groundhog Day books, aka, books you love to read over and over again. And that got me thinking…what about music? What about the songs that you love to listen to over and over again? Whether driving in your car or sitting at home listening to your iPod, there are [...]
Groundhog Day is the annual day in February where Punxsutawney Phil (said Groundhog) comes burrowing out of his hole to look for his shadow to let the public know wether we’ll have six more weeks of winter. It’s a crap way of forecasting spring, but it brings out the crowds anyway. This sacred holiday took [...]
Since I’m writing this post from the coffee shop at my new local library, I felt it appropriate to share my love of libraries. The one I’m sitting in right now has since been remodeled from the last time I was here over ten years ago, and I can’t tell you how happy that makes [...]
It’s been almost three weeks since I made the move from Los Angeles to Minneapolis, and let me tell you…it hasn’t been easy. I made a similar move ten years ago when I moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles right after graduating from college, and that was cake. Seriously, all I took with me was [...]
