I have a sharp pain in the middle of myself. I’ve had it once or twice in the last few months and when I describe it to co-workers they tell me I have gas or I have heartburn, but I never have had anything offensive to eat that would seemingly cause that. All I’ve had [...]

Taly wonders who is this new cute baby that her mom is holding? Today was a baby shower for Muiread Whitworth and my camera battery died before too long. The cuteness just drained the batteries. I have a fair amount of photos to share, but I have to clean out my iPhoto library before I [...]

It was a long day of football tailgating and sitting around. I nearly completely forgot to blog. So this is all you get. I know it doesn’t really count, but its better than nothing at all.

My blog posting is starting to wane. I’ve got this giant post written in my head, it even has a clever title of Cats, Cars, and Crowe, but I just can’t seem to get it out tonight. Instead, I suggest you listen to the new John Mayer song, ‘Say‘, because its awesome. Or look at [...]

Can you spot which one just doesn’t quite belong? I made M&M cookies with the ‘limited edition’ mint chocolate M&M’s. The recipe I used said it made six dozen, but I was only able to scrape out four dozen, plus the giant cookie. There wasn’t enough dough left justify a big cookie sheet with only [...]

Nothing like an epic movie about drug trafficking in 1970′s New York to satisfy my need to see a movie in the theaters. Added bonus of it being a $5 matinée. [Which I realize I should mention would be American Gangster.] I will have real movie reviewer thoughts tomorrow. Now its like 8:30pm and I [...]

and I need to blog and I don’t want to. I have nothing of interest to say. My back hurts tonight. After I went to the chiropractor last night. So I’m all paranoid that she injured me in someway. Tomorrow morning I take Mac to the vet to see what she’s dying of now. Joy. [...]

I don’t have much to say today, so instead I’ll give you this very random photo that I found and scanned. This is from a physics lab at Iowa in college. I don’t know what its measuring or what lab it was from. I took Physics I & II (with Calculus) in college because I [...]

Today, I went to the new ginormous Menards and bought a carbon monoxide/gas detector. I woke up this morning, after a night of horrible dreams that paralyzed me with fear, and thought that maybe my cat and I were slowly being poisoned by my apartment. According to the detector, I am just crazy, but maybe [...]

Iowa beat Minnesota today and welcomed home Floyd of Rosedale to his proper home. I am just now warming up from the day. My mom was sick and didn’t make it to the game today so I sat with Doogie & Colleen who were making their return to tailgating and game-attending, post-baby. Fun times were [...]
