I'm trying to read this while my own tries to shoot water into my mouth from a spray bottle to wash down the paper cupcake she tried to make me eat. Gotta love 'em.
Facts About Motherhood
As I'm huddled under three blankies, covered in princess accessories (I might have a crown on), trying to fend off some mild food poisoning, I thought I'd remind, or warn, you about the joys of my not-so-new job. You will never EVER get a good night's sleep again. Those babies come out kicking...
Aw....keychains....
Throw It All Away
My bestie asked me how I stay organized. Simple. I throw away a lot of crap. There's a lot of crap to throw away. There's some ridiculous stat out there about the amount of junk mail we get in a year, probably like a trillion pounds or something (okay, 41 pounds, according to this handy sit...
I'm gonna make popcorn right now.
Buttered Up
Let's say you're awesome. And, let's face it, you are. Because you're reading this. Now let's say you're hungry. I'll go ahead and assume you are because I always am and we're friends. You should go ahead and make some popcorn. And not the lame microwave kind. Stove-Top Popcorn Ingredients...
So, do you glue the rhinestones to your skin?
Unpaid Programming- Dance Version
There are some products that I feel I could not live without while I'm on the dance floor. If I don't use these products each time I have to sweat anxiously amongst unnaturally-tanned people, I sense impending disaster: possible wardrobe malfunctions, moving hair, or *gasp!* pale skin. This i...
I was able to change the scrolling back to the normal way.
List of Last Week's Labors of Love
- the Lion OS X update on my Mac. Who else has this? Is anyone else confused by the backwards scrolling? Anyone? - another case of vertigo. Yes, another one. Apparently, my awesomely low blood pressure and resting heart rate AND total lack of hydration (what? coffee doesn't count?) make...
To be honest when I was preggers, cloth diapers weren't even a blip on my pregnant radar. I was so freaked out about becoming a mom that I wanted whatever was easiest, and to me that was disposables. Which we're still using because a certain stubborn 3-yr-old refuses to wear anything else.
Dirty Little Secret
Warning! This post talks extensively about #1 and #2. Pee and Poo. The Diaper Twins. Whatever. Consider yourself warned... We use cloth diapers. The G and I had talked about it a little when I was first pregnant and I researched the idea a little on the interwebs. I found a brand that see...
Love it!
Obvious Things to Do
I have often heard people remark, "I don't know how you do it." I'm assuming they're talking about juggling three little ladies, marriage, dancing, working in an official capacity, and writing all about it. Not about my confidence in walking out of the house with no makeup, my hair in the ever...
We have one of those 5 qt swanky kitchen aid mixers, but Sean's mom stole it a long time ago and is keeping it hostage at her house. Thanks for reminding me to go rescue it!
Request for Bread
No, I'm not asking for money. Again. I actually received a request (from an awesome lady) to write about making bread. Like the kind with dough. That you make with flour. I laughed when she asked me because I've been trying to make french bread for a couple months and have been failing at...
I need to make Sean read this so I can finally get him to move back with me.
Also, awesome that you posted a pic of Brekin Meyer...a fellow Minnesotan.
Represent, 651
I got my update from Centsational Girl this morning and had to write a second post for today, so I could share alllllll my favo things about St. Paul. I won't even try to add in ye olde Minneapolis, because I don't want your heads to explode with all the magnificent possibilities that abound in...
Awww.....
Happy Anniversary
Four years and three days ago, I married the G. I often wonder why in the world I did such a thing. I mean, he's pushy and stubborn, opinionated and argumentative, demanding and uncompromising... Oh, wait. Are we talking about him or me? In any case, I should have seen it coming. The fi...
Hahaha...we always watch that scene from "Despicable Me" over and over. Keira loves saying "He's so fluffy!" just like her, too. Hilarious.
It's So Fluffy I'm Going to Die!
The other day, I mentioned how I made up my own crochet pattern. It's not the most original thing, but since I made it up myself, I feel okay making doodads with it and maybe selling them. Or at least telling you how to make it (not today, peeps- I have a short attention span today). ...
I like to eat shredded colby jack in a bowl, and I like to walk barefoot in wet sand at the beach!
The Pinterest Project- Flowers (Doilies)
This week's project comes to us from the most awesome Yvestown blog via Pinterest. I haven't crocheted for quite awhile and generally disregard it in the summer months, but Miss Yvonne of the wonderful house and projects at Yvestown made me want for a hook. I mean, look at them! They'...
"Things taste different when you get older." Haha...that made me laugh for some reason. Probably because it's totally true (i.e. peanut butter & jelly sandwiches).
And thanks for the pic at the end.
Team Ron.
Voilà
Awhile back, I was using "Viola!" as an exclamation of done-ness. I felt really dumb when I realized it was "voilà!" and not my great-grandmother's name. On the plus side, I'm pretty sure most people (minus the nerdy-intelligent-editorial types... you know who you are!… am I out of the club?) ...
The last NSYNC member would be Chris.
Lazy, Hazy Day of Summer
It's a little humid today and therefore, I ... A) can't concentrate B) can't move. Earlier today, when the dew point was below 75%, my bestie and I went for coffee over the ye olde High Bridge (you know, that bridge that connects the downtown St. Paul area from the bluffs and is quite pictures...
Is that a picture of JC?? By the way, I'm so jealous of people who buy magazines like that because they can actually DO the stuff that's in the magazine. I'm the most UN-crafty person on the planet. I guess it just takes time and practice, right? And probably the crafty talent, which I unfortunately lack.

Love it! I remember when I was preggo and people treated me like I was some kind of invalid at work..."let me get those clothes for you" or "are you sure you can lift that?" DROVE ME NUTS. Anyway, have fun making people do crap for you these last few days.
I just don't know what to say.
Or wait. I do. I feel a little like Sally Field right now. I really was going to post something with content, but got a little distracted by my blog stats. They're pretty good. Thanks, everybody! As my awesome student jokingly said last night, "I love talking about myself!" So I'm goin...
That sounds like so much fun! Wish I could be there :(
Enter the Madness
I work a lot on Tuesdays, hence the lack o' post. Yesterday was more than the usual marathon since we have the local ballroom dance competition starting tomorrow. You haven't been to a ballroom dance competition? You've probably seen Dancing With the Stars. It's nothing like that. Let me pa...
haha...I remember you always hiding in the basement during thunderstorms! Never quite understood why, as thunderstorms are awesome. Of course, I haven't seen a real thunderstorm in about 10 years, which may add to their awesomeness.
Things to Get Excited About
I would suggest not overlapping the multimedia links I'll present here. That might make you loopy. - I'm pretty sure I mention my excitement for the new Muppet movie every time I teach a group class. So, ye of the Saturday noon class are well-aware of its existence. You might also be aware of...
I really like the color scheme! V. pretty!
Oh snap
Here is it! Look at the swanky, new design. Admire it. Love it. Wonder at the magnificence of ME writing CSS code. Yes, yes. I know. It's great. Not only can I do a mean tango, but I can cut and paste nonsense and follow directions. A special thanks to D at thephOtoshOp at Etsy for creati...
I read the Hunger Games even quicker than MI. Amazing books.
Media Frenzy
12 Lost In The World [feat. Bon Iver] I don't buy a lot of books. Or music. Or movies… Anymore. My friends buy books and then tell me to read it as they put the book in my hand. I listen to the Current or all my favorite tunes on my computer and if I'm really motivated, I *insert air ...
I loved The Mortal Instruments! I bought the whole series when the Borders store by me closed and everything was like 70% off. I read the first three in like three days and then pre-ordered the fourth one weeks before it even came out. Because you're right, they're like crack.

I gotta get me some Prairie Vodka.
Epic Fail
I had to fire my web designer today. She was terrible; absolutely no idea what she was doing and she wouldn't acknowledge it until she had wasted five hours of my time. I mean, who voluntarily tries to design a website without knowing any CSS or HTML code? If you see this girl, do not let her ...
Awesome! PS...I like pink.
But this is...
Crochet. I've done a bit of it, apparently. I started on a whim a couple years ago, at the start of my Craft Age. I picked up the book The Happy Hooker, written by Debbie Stoller of Stitch 'n' Bitch fame and BUST magazine at the ol' B&N and got tangled up in some yarn for a few hours. I...
I loooooove the pidges! I'd wear one to work everyday.

Um...I don't know...I just remember watching it at your house when it came out on video. Early 1994 sounds kind of familiar.
Interesting Fact
I'm a ballroom dancer. Sometimes I do this... And sometimes I do this... But never this... Because that's just stupid. I'd love to do this... And could name 17 other ladies who would want to also. This is one of my favorite movies... Because it's awesome. And everything in it is tru...
