why everyone should foster
In: Foster Pets| Local
1 Mar 2010The General and I have been fostering puppies and dogs and the occasional kitten for close to a year now for Pet Project Rescue, an organization ran out of Northeast Minneapolis. The General had done it before, but wound up keeping the dogs. I knew that wasn’t happening, so I figured I’d give it a [...]
my mind just exploded
17 Jan 2010Why didn’t someone tell me Brett Favre was just a certifiably inside spaz?
Dude watches American Idol and sings about it after he wins a very important playoff game. I love him a lot. Even if he is 40 years old and blah blah blah.

19 Dec 2009Earlier this week, I got drafted to participate in a focus group. At the time I was doing my little phone screen to make sure I was qualified, they didn’t mention exactly what kind of focus group it was, other then it was pertaining to food. Hey, I have opinions about food and if someone [...]
family night at the (not really a) bar
17 Dec 2009Tonight, mi familia and I had a date involving dropping off Christmas donations and hamburgers full of molten lava cheese, thanks to the fine folks at Matt’s Bar.
Jenni, Matt, Stephanie and I had adopted a family via The Aliveness Project. Since Jenni and Matt are somewhere in the Southern Caribbean right now, I volunteered to [...]
first league season in the books

14 Dec 2009Team Vaya con Dias, Bras took home 8th place in our 16 team league tonight. Had we not been matched up against a foursome of 40+ crybabies that had to have a half hour smoke brake between each game and couldn’t stand the fact that girls were beating them, my blood pressure probably wouldn’t have [...]

5 Dec 2009This afternoon, The General and I joined my hometown friend Angie in her first ever shopping trip at IKEA. She was in town for some type of leadership conference involving some of her high school students and I was very excited to see her and go shopping at my absolute favorite store of all time. [...]
i’m writing all over the place

23 Oct 2009I’ve apparently missed it. Not only have I updated this site TWO WHOLE DAYS in a row, but I’ve also started contributing (once again) to Minneapolis Metblogs. While it’s be nice if you wanted to subscribe to the entire site’s RSS feed, you can also just apparently read my stuff if you click on this [...]
in my neighborhood
In: Local
29 Jul 2009Or at least the last five hours in my neighborhood.
I rode The General’s bike home from work. She’s ridden it there and then drove back some furniture, art, and flower pots that I’d taken home from the Furniture Free For All we had on the 3rd floor of our building today. (Long story.) First off, [...]
you should be a foster
In: Foster Pets| Local
14 Jul 2009You know the only time I ever post is if I have new pictures or I need something, right? Well, good, because this is no exception.
For the past few months, we’ve been working with Pet Project Rescue, fostering animals that have come from less than crappy situations and finding them really awesome homes where they [...]

30 Jun 2009Just a few minutes ago, I was sitting at my desk working on some freelance stuff. The General was out on the porch spending some quality time with the laptop and open windows. The Boy was trying to find a flashlight so he could find a book that was under his bed. Suddenly, it sounded [...]
