People of the Minneapolis Skyway

      No Comments on People of the Minneapolis Skyway

Over the past two months, I’ve noticed patterns people have while wandering through the Skyway in Minneapolis. First of all, as far as I can tell, Macy’s is the worst place to be between 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM on any given weekday.

While at BlogHer13, I won something… a Keurig coffeemaker. All I did was tweet about how I enjoyed the Brew Over Ice tea. They put a giant chunk of ice in a plastic cup, put it under the Keurig and bada bing! Perfect iced tea. I actually went back for seconds… While I have enjoyed using these machines at other… Read more »

It’s Oktoberfest time and apparently that’s kind of a big deal in the Twin Cities.  I’m inferring that from the amount of Oktoberfest celebrations I’ve heard about on the web.  I think the last time I went to an Oktoberfest, I was about 5 years old.

But, I do love my new apartment. I feel like a grown up with a grown up place. I want friends and family to come over and… Read more »

Luckily, I have been blessed with wonderful parents. I had arranged for the movers to come on Wednesday. All of the paperwork was complete.  We were just waiting for a time to… Read more »

Plus, he likes the characters that Lego comes up with a couple of times each year in their minifigures collections. This time, the… Read more »

Relationship Firsts: An anniversary

      No Comments on Relationship Firsts: An anniversary

For the first time in my life, I am celebrating a dating anniversary. No, this isn’t one of those, “We’ve been together for a month, so let’s Facebook it to death, schmoopie” things. One year ago on August 31st, I met the man of my dreams. I can still remember seeing him come down the escalator at the airport. I… Read more »
