June 2, 2010Spagmare – def: A nightmare about waiting tables at the Old Spaghetti Factory… usually involving getting overwhelmed with tables and falling behind your orders. For the first time in years I had a spagmare. Last ...
Worst Childhood Fear Confirmed
June 1, 2010Though I’ll admit I enjoy the movies, I’m still somewhat disturbed by the Toy Story concept. It would be less disturbing if the concept was foreign to me, but it is all too familiar. As ...
Backyard Trees
May 10, 2010This is a picture of two flowering trees in our backyard. You can see a fall picture of our yard here: http://mjreed.com/?p=1554. It’s the two trees on the left.
Garage Sale Day -MN Style
May 7, 2010It’s May and as many would assume, it’s perfect garage sale weather. Yes, and yet, perhaps those ‘many’ are not familiar with Minnesota. It is May 7, and I am huddled near the small space ...
Birthday Month is off to a HUGE beginning!
May 3, 2010As some people may already be aware, and others just learning of this wonderful thing, Matt and I began celebrating birthday months quite a few years ago. After all, we reasoned, how could one little ...
First Twins Game
April 26, 2010We went to our first game in Target Field last Tuesday and watched the Twins beat Cleveland. We even managed to get on the BIG screen on our first try. I was responsible for taking ...
1 2 3 4
April 14, 2010This is my own real life LOST… at least once a week (sometimes multiple times) the numbers 1 2 3 4 appear somewhere. A clock, mileage,license plate, songs, statistics, and so on. I would dismiss ...
Weak Armor
April 14, 2010What I like about the ladybug is that it’s wings appear to be armor… but they’re not really armor. Ladybugs are easy to smash.
Spring has Sprung
April 9, 2010We have numerous trees, shrubs, and bushes just started to bud for the spring. We just bought a pruning saw, shovel, rakes, and hedge clippers to tame the foliage. One tree is gone as is ...
I MUST have Robo Stir!
April 5, 2010As some people may already know, I have written in previous posts about my weakness when it come to infomercial products. The later at night it gets, the more brilliant the idea seems. I usually ...
Ripped off by Waffle Makers!
April 3, 2010I have nothing more to say about this other than, “What is the deal with this waffle?” Okay, maybe I have a little more to say… I opened my whole grain Eggo waffles to find ...
Landscaping and Lawncare Resources?
April 3, 2010There are faceplate-less light switches everywhere in our house. We’ve done a ton of work, but there’s still lots to be done and we’ve mostly concentrated on “larger” indoor projects like flooring and painting. It ...
Egg Crack-KING
April 2, 2010It was a close finish. Shannon seemed unstoppable at the beginning but was overtaken by Lonni. In the end it came down to three eggs and my egg destroyed the others. I won the traveling ...
Lake Geneva Summer Camp
April 1, 2010I know it’s only April 1st, but today’s weather sure made it feel like summer. With summer comes teen camp and this year will be a different experience than the last seven years we’ve been ...
Bloomin’ Onion
March 31, 2010It’s always fascinating how some vegetables just start growing without permission (permission being light, water, etc.). Apparently we hadn’t touched our onions in the cabinet in a while. I hope the potatoes don’t get any ...
What I’d look like as a blue-eyed blonde
March 29, 2010I recently chopped my hair off, but before I took the plunge, I did some investigating. I was curious about hairstyles, and what would look good on me (or, more to the point, what would ...

18 days until Opening Day
March 25, 2010Cost of the new Twins stadium, $522 million. Cost of signing Joe Mauer, $184 million. Cost of a single game ticket, $18. Enjoying baseball outdoors, priceless. Oh, wait… it was 24 degrees today when I ...
Larrivee Guitars
March 25, 2010I love my acoustic guitar. It was going-away gift given to me from our old youth group. Its sound quality is superb both plugged and unplugged and plays as well as most guitars 3-5 times ...
Strike!
March 22, 2010We’ve been bowling once a month at a local bowling alley by our house. They have a late night “all you can bowl” deal that is hard to beat. We took our camera this last ...
