Many times our funny jokes turn in to bets, that then turn in to reality. Recently this resulted in me, who a few short years ago could barely stand up on skis, gearing up bright and early this 4th of July. It was maybe the funniest day on skis – which is a bold statement. […]
Knowing someone for ten years, you learn their likes and dislikes. Being married five years, you learn about what matters in life and what doesn’t. I talked about our first wedding anniversary dinner, our second being on a trip to LA, and don’t even remember our third. Last year we went out to Hapa Grill […]
So I’m sitting in the basement while I paint the last of the doors, listening to this free SXSW music channel thinking about the past few weeks – and cracking up about poor KD today. I’m so pumped about SXSW. Might be the only thing I like more than skiing. Why can’t free stuff be […]
It’s not even officially here yet and I’ve already gotten my present! MK really stepped it up this year… Hope I can do better than last year on that reading list challenge…
MK showed up the afternoon of the 28th with a dozen red roses. Butthead. I went to WalMart and got him the only other card they had besides the one I got him last year, and some Orbit gum. He’d rather have money in the bank than cheesy gifts that end up in the storage room. […]
I kinda thought winter was over. Most of our snow was gone and it was almost 60 yesterday. So of course it’s snowing. A lot. All morning. It’s spring break here, so I’m happy for the kiddos that might be out enjoying it, but I’ll wait until tomorrow to see what we end up […]
So as I mentioned yesterday, sort of, MK and I are out shopping, aka I’m shopping and MK is reading reviews on his phone. With the best of intentions. We ended up at Ikea. Which I’m not putting in all caps because then I’d be screaming a store at you that I’m not all that […]
If you read this website and aren’t a chicken, answer my question in the comments:
How often do you look to the internet for reviews?
Whether it’s for restaurants, hairdressers, movies, skis or I don’t even know what else, how often do you read opinions?
MK doesn’t really makes decisions without this type of review. It’s how we […]

Dude, my husband spent the day outside doing YARDWORK. If every marriage has a house- and every house has a yard- every marriage should be great. My husband was out in the yard all day today – he filled my birdfeeder, raked leaves, got the garage doors plugged in to our car buttons, clipped some […]
