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 it would […]
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 worked […]
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 that have been […]
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 an original design. So […]
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. It’s not allowed. And I’m rather cheesed off […]
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 “you […]
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 as my day got. […]
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’ houses and they’d have […]
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 my building. Didn’t really know anything about it until […]
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 it must be clear to […]
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 tonight I am […]
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. Wish me luck. I’m […]
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 the past year. […]
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 so much anger […]
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 it to me to […]
Ah, Sunday. I got home late last night from Phoenix, where I spent Thanksgiving. I was down there with the rest of the family for a cousin’s wedding. It was wonderful. And as an added bonus my aunt mentioned to my mom that there was a Dale Chihuly installation at the Arboretum nearby. His glass […]
“I’m like the Lord of the fucking Dance. I got moves.” Dean Dean Dean. Darlin’, you look good no matter what decade you’re in. You’re also eeeevil. Work has slowed down this week. And by slowed down, I mean I’m no longer working 14 hour days and tearing the hair out of my head. Which […]
I went out to dinner with my mom when she got off from work tonight. After working 14 hour days for the last few I was ready to leave the house and face the cold comfort of fresh November air. So we went to a Noodles & Co. by her house. And since all the […]
Happy Veteran’s Day! Both of my Grandpas served in WWII. One was in the Army (in the division that was the Air Force before there was an Air Force). The other was in the Navy. I think they both married my Grandmas when they were home on leave. And I have several uncles who served […]
