A new step

My life as it currently is (and has been for the past 32 years) will be over as of tomorrow. It's an exciting time, but a lot of this is also unknown.

I fly to sunny LA to meet up with the love of my life tomorrow. We'll spend some fab time in Southern California and then we will pack up the remainder of his stuff in a tiny Uhaul and begin the journey back to Minneapolis, and our new life together.

Heck, now that I think about it, life as I have known it to be changed in the fall of 2005. Although it is different, it is a good different.

I have been alone and independent for so long that I never knew how good it is to have a special person in your life. It is fabulous and compares to nothing I have known.

LIfe is good.

A Perfect Saturday Night

It is a whopping 16 degrees out. I damn near frooze my ass off while getting groceries earlier. Consequently, I have decided to snuggle in for the evening.

Here is what is in store.


A fab Bells Winter Ale and reading. I even poured the beer in a glass to make it all extra fancy.

If you haven't read Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, it is a definate recommendation. A great read.

Moe has even staked out her claim on the chair.


I love Saturdays.

My morning lovelies

I am not a morning person. Some people can jump out of bed in the morning ready to greet the day. I am not one of those poeople. I typically wander around my apartment for a good amount of time when I awake, just trying to get out of my morning fog.

Allow me to intorduce you to my crutch...

There are few things that compare to the first sip of coffee in the morning. During the week, I depend on it. I love this little thing. It is just a simple coffee maker, but I love the fact that you can toss in the ground beans and water before bedtime, push the button to on and it automatically brews it in the morning. Not an unusual feature I know, but it's a feature I can no longer live without. This little beauty beeps when it is done brewing, which is the signal that I can get out of bed with a hot cup of coffee waiting for me. Life doesn't get much better than that.

There's more. When I am in the mood for a nibble I can use this...

That friends is an egg and muffin toaster. It seriously rocks. You just pop in the english muffin, put the egg in the side cooker and push the button. About 5 minutes later you have a tasty egg sandwich. I must admit since this has been added to the kitchen, I have been eating eggs about 4 times a week. I should slow down a bit and start back on the oatmeal.

But it is oh so very tempting.
