The Word of the Day is “Resentment.” Whenever You Hear It, Scream Really Loud!

resentment

Ah yes. Resentment. I’ve been harboring a lot of effing resentment lately and I’m only spilling the beans publicly because I’d rather not go to prison. It’s hard to train for marathons in prison. And I bet they wouldn’t accommodate my dairy allergy there. Anyway, there’s a shitload of adjusting when it comes to motherhood [Read On]

It’s gonna get loud around here…

BikeNightCoolBike100_0880

Grab the honey, your black leather jacket and your motorcycle and head over to Dulono’s Pizza at Garfield and Lake in Uptown (Minneapolis) on the first Thursday evening for a roaring good time. And by roaring, I do mean ROARING. When you’ve got hundreds of motorcycles cruising around, it’s a pretty loud time. If you’re [Read On]

Barefoot on the beach Part 2: Finding vendors

This photo by Kay Scott turned out beautifully -- even though we thought we were going to sink in this little boat!

Planning a wedding thousands of miles away in Belize proved challenging, to say the least.   While I could have opted to hire a wedding coordinator, I chose to save money and do the work myself, knowing there wasn’t much I required.   What we needed was a location, a minister, a license and a [Read On]

I’ve never been the kind of girl who dreamed about getting married in a church.   No, a blue sky held more allure than vaulted ceilings.

  Our timing has never been great.  We started dating (11 years ago this August) because I forgot to duck out of the way in a well-rehearsed skit. He knocked me over and I fell flat on my back. He helped me to my feet, and that was it. Our engagement story is kinda the [Read On]

Well, apparently my life is a little unconventional at times. In the course of one year, I was divorced, remarried, moving to Thailand, and pregnant with twins. Whatevs. I’ve always been an overachiever. I know this is supposed to be an engagement story, but I need to rewind a bit so you don’t think I’m [Read On]
