Salted Buttered Rum Latte from the shop down the street.  Best lattes in town.

Went shopping at the outlets.  Lots of shopping.

At a show!

11.24.12

With the Bents.  We saw Rogue Valley at the Cedar.  It's the only rock club I know that sells coffee and serves it in a ceramic mug.  This is the first time I've had to return dirty dishes at a concert.

Leftovers

11.23.12

Reading the ads and enjoying the leftovers.  I have a lot of salad to get through.

Thanksgiving

I found this sweater in my parent's closet.  My sister found this photo on my parent's wall.

I was adorable.

Success

I have been going to the Egg and I restaurant in South Minneapolis after long runs as a reward for, well, running a long way.  I get a single kamikaze pancake and a side of three sausage links, coffee and OJ.  I have never ever finished the entire thing.  Until today.  And I didn't even go on a long run.  I just really wanted a pancake.

I had my first hockey game of the season tonight.  My work schedule doesn't allow me to play at many games, but my team lets me come whenever I can.  Tonight I scored a goal and two assists and had a great time.

Flying waffle soles.

These shoes make me happy.

Bake-off!

Last week at work there was some trash talk about who makes the best pie, so this week we held a pie bake-off.  What a great idea.  We should fight more often.

Cheescake

11.16.12

Baking my pie for the bake-off tomorrow.  2.5 POUNDS of cream cheese.  I'm using my dad's recipe and my grandma's mixer.  That mixer is quite the work horse, built when things lasted.  It's older than I am and will likely outlast me.

Groceries

11.15.12

I've been cooking a lot more than usual.  In the past couple weeks I've made latkes, soup, brownies, apple cake, and homemade mac and cheese.  I made a stop after work today to pick up all ingredients for a pie I'm making tomorrow for Saturday's pie bake-off.

Homemade beer

Tasting Adam's beer.  He grew the hops in his backyard and brewed it in his basement.  Quite tasty.

Happy Toes!

It snowed today.  Mackenzie and I decided to get pedicures and it was a great decision.

Brownies, Moving and Marines.

11.09.12

I made brownies for Liz.  From scratch.  They're amazing.


11.10.12

Helped my sister move again.  She's finally in her new house and that makes me happy.



11.11.12

Today is Veteran's Day.  My grandpa was a Marine.  And a handsome Marine at that.

What I've done since I went to NY.

Halloween at Liddy's.  He's hosted the party for the past 10 years.

My nephew Mark's 9th birthday!

Me and Hudson stopped in Garrison, MN to catch this enormous walleye!

Happy Halloween to me!  I got to meet Anthony.

Movember kickoff party at the Nomad.

So many leaves.  So, so, so many.  Ugh.  But I got a leaf blower and it is great.

Mark's birthday party.  Having a 9-year-old nephew has many benefits.


11.04.12

Covering politics for work.  It will soon be over.


11.05.12

I hosted a party for a friend.  She sells skin care and health products.  We had wine and cheese and good conversation.


11.06.12

Election night.  I worked over 13 hours covering the Voter ID amendment.  I love coloring in the country blue and red as the returns come in.  It's like March Madness but with crayons.


11.07.12

Photo editing bonanza.  NY photos, Anthony's photos, self portrait photos...  Still more to get to.
