Boring Post?

Nothing much to talk about here folks, sorry. This will probably be a pretty boring blog post…but maybe not.
I’ve been on this big financial kick lately – learning all about investing and saving for retirement, like I’m some sort of adult, or something. I even enrolled in a 401(k) last week, something I [...]

yippeee hooraaaay!

We think our dog-abuser-neighbor-jerk-guy has gone for good!! Earlier this week we noticed him packing things so very tight into a little car (not his), and then he drove off into the sunset. Hopefully his supposed girlfriend kicked him out because he literally did nothing all day, everyday. And then he would [...]

From StarTribune.com last week… (I made this blog entry last week, but forgot to publish it, so it’s a little late, sorry.)
It’s official: The Local Irish Pub sells more Jameson Irish whiskey than any other bar in the world. In a story last November about the Local’s remodeling, Jameson reps were pretty [...]

Hoorah!

No cavities for me! A cleaning is scheduled for next Tuesday. And somehow I ended up picking a dentist where the doctors look like actors/actresses. The girl that took my xrays looked like Sacha Baron Cohen’s fiance, Isla Fischer, while the actual dentist looked like William Dafoe. So, that was kind [...]

I started playing Sims 2 again….I played a bunch right after I got it, but haven’t played it since, so I started fresh with a new family, my family.  Kieran watched me play, and she got really excited when she would see herself on the screen, playing fetch and barking. Look, look how cute we [...]

for crying out loud…

I never thought it would be so hard to get a dentist appointment. To begin with, I had a hard time picking who I should go with, because I didn’t want to just pick some wiener of a dentist. I want someone who’s good at what they do, and who’s nice about it. [...]

Hope you all (can’t say “ya’ll” yet….I just can’t) had a good Easter Weekend! We ended up going to San Antonio for the holiday. We brought along the Wii to entertain little Ian, and it worked, 100%. We also had our first Alamo Drafthouse experience. The idea is that you enjoy [...]

Every year in the springtime, Austin City Limits send out an email to people on their email list, informing them that they’ll have the chance to get tickets for cheap, cheap, cheap! On Monday I received it – so it’s that time of year! Kind of crappy, but you have to “win” the [...]

TEN YEARS AGO: I was in 8th Grade!
FIVE YEARS AGO: I was almost finished with my freshman year in college, hated calculus, and was looking forward to going home for the summer so I could see Erik everyday.

ONE YEAR AGO: I was living in Minnesota with my roommate and my doggy, preparing for my wedding, [...]

I had a pretty good weekend, even though it was sort of boring. Saturday, I took Erik to the eye doctor so he could get a brand new prescription for his crappy eyes. And then Sunday we went and got him some nice new glasses. When they come in, I’ll take a [...]
