Continuing on with our visit at the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, this time focusing on the sculpture aspect….
(It should be noted that and I both took pictures, so credit for some of these goes to him.)
There was random sculpture inside the Arid Garden, including an armadillo
and this piece, …keep reading
Really, it is. See, we have almost 200 photos from our trip to Grand Rapids sitting on the server at home. I keep forgetting to upload them to Flickr, so they just sit there, and I don’t talk about our trip on this blog. It’s not right, I know. So last night I finally remembered …keep reading
OK, how totally awesome is this – we already have two showings of our house scheduled for this weekend!!! I am thrilled, tickled pink, and… anything else you can come up with to describe how excited one might be about such a development.
Plus, I just got the green light from a fashion-conscious young co-worker for …keep reading
We had a great weekend in Pensacola / Mobile, but we’re glad to be back. I’ll have to update later, as all the pictures are on ’s camera, and I have a limited amount of time here at work, etc. So just a quick update from me today.
Everything with all our travel arrangements …keep reading
First off…
Here’s the pumpkin I carved last week for Halloween.
I was aiming for a cute wink and a grin, but I think I just got grumpy. Oh well.
But, on to more exciting things – pictures of my weekend in Illinois!
Friday night we drove into Illinois and met up with some of my …keep reading
Home sweet home… it's amazing how inspiring a sunny day in the middle of fall can be!
Obligatory Starbucks run. But this almost never happens – Starbucks in the cup holder in my car!
That's because I went to Starbucks in Eagan (at the Transit Center, which I didn't fully …keep reading
I took some pictures last night. Originally, I went out to take a picture of the tree limb that had fallen in Monday night’s storm. I am sorry to say that it did not turn out as artistic as I’d like. But I think that’s because I’m not actually a very good …keep reading
As of about an hour ago, I have officially lived in Minnesota for 5 years. (I tend to have these grand, life-changing moments happen on memorable dates, but that’s another post.) December 1, 2001 I woke up at ’s house in Illinois after having spent the day before loading my UHaul up and …keep reading
Travelocity sends me emails when the price to fly to O’Hare changes. It currently costs $63. That’s the lowest I’ve ever seen it. Too bad I don’t need to go there any time soon.
If I had a car, I would drive here for a short visit, because we learned about it in class today. However, I’m not interested enough to make anyone else endure it or pay for it. Sometimes being without a car has disadvantages. (But it sure is a whole lot cheaper.)
Because I really should actually get some work done, let me just get this out there quickly. Pictures from our weekend camping are up! Here are some samples:

Scroll about halfway through the list of “8 cheap places you’d want to live,” and you find Minneapolis. As someone who’s recently been despairing the idea of continuing to pay rent, pay off credit card debt, and go back to school… I was surprised to find myself living in an “affordable” place. But …keep reading
For , who wanted wonderment to be “edgier” in June…
When I worked in San Francisco, we lived at the Salvation Army on Turk Street, which is in a neighborhood called the Tenderloin (the name’s origins are unknown). It’s not a good neighborhood. In fact, it’s one of the worst. Within a square block of our …keep reading
If you haven’t heard about them, visit the link briefly first.
Restless legs run in ’s family. Specifically and myself. I don’t get them all that often anymore. Lately, the few times that I have noticed it, I’ve been super-tired but making myself stay awake anyways, and if I either go to bed or take …keep reading
I usually don’t get terribly involved in politics. I mean, I vote in the presidential election, and occasionally I vote for some of the other offices, if I’m relatively informed, which I’m usually not. So take what comes next with that grain of salt, because I really haven’t paid much attention to Coleman and what …keep reading
