There Goes My Minnesota Girl
Posted in A Little Cheese To Go With That Whine?, A Traveling Girl, Holiday Time, So Strange, It's True on December 22, 2008 | 14 Comments »
Driving to Minnesota is one thing in the summer. And even then it’s almost unbearable. Driving to Minnesota in the winter is bound to make me gray, or bald. I’m not sure which would be worse–obviously bald, I could dye gray hair. Anyway, I thought the eight hour drive back to [...]

Ran across an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal this morning. Apparently, people just don’t care so much about the Oscars this year. I hadn’t really though about it, but I think it’s true. I am a huge Oscar afficionado. I’ve hosted parties in the past. I love movies, [...]

Ok, I actually don’t. But I do predict other things. Like Hilary’s downfall in Iowa. Seriously, I called it back in September.
One day, my friend “Bluebird” and I, along with another friend were walking to the bar where the Texas Exes gather to cheer on the Longhorns. It was a beautiful [...]

Recently a friend of mine who will remain name (and initial) less told me that he had a pet peeve–people calling Thanksgiving “Turkey Day.” He pointed out that it’s not such a great day for the turkey. When I looked at him quizzically he pointed out that pet peeves usually don’t make the [...]

Scary realization: I’ve become one of those people who can’t work the copier.

Examples of Places That Creep Me Out
Posted in So Strange, It's True, Yours Truly on August 28, 2007 | 13 Comments »
What an odd title to this post, you may be saying. Or maybe not. But I’d think it was strange if I were a reader to this blog, not the writer. Actually, sometimes the things that go on in my head strike me as rather odd too.
But anyway, I’ve decided to play [...]
A Pre-Midnight Toker
Posted in Dating, So Strange, It's True on February 21, 2007 | 18 Comments »
So a little more than two months ago, I joined America’s #1 online dating website (they say). And a little less than two weeks ago I went out on a date with a guy. It was…interesting, to say the least.
We had been in touch and fell out when he emailed me to see [...]
