Bed, Bath, and WAY Beyond

Geoff and I took a leisurely Saturday stroll through Bed, Bath and Beyond this weekend. All around the store they are displaying those awful, yet must-have "As Seen on TV" items like the Hercules Hook, Sham-Wow, Vidalia Chop Wizard (or something like that), Snuggie, Beach-Towel Snuggie, etc...As we rounded the final corner of the store, we reached the pinnacle of such items:I can't think of an item I'm less in need of...although I do know someone...

North of What?

So, Geoff and I are looking at google maps the other day on his phone (I'd tell you why, but we are doing this so often, that they all just blur into one big google search).It kinda weirds me out when we pull it up and a blue dot starts blinking right where I'm standing. I mean, seriously, if I walk across my living room, the dot moves. Google knows everything. But, I digress. Geoff zooms out to get a better view of where we are in relation to where...

Morph and Mandy

I used one of those face morphers to determine what kind of beautiful baby Geoff and I will make. Obviously this is SCIENCE people. Here s/he/they are. Enjoy Mama...

Spring is coming in Fargo

Well, Geoff and I are officially into week 15 in North Dakota.It's crazy to think how quickly time flies. Winter wasn't so bad. There were some days that I can't even believe how cold it was, but today we were supposed to get into the high 60s, maybe even 70s. So, we've come a long way! The grass is starting to really green up. It's lovely. The trees are also starting to bud just a little bit. So they should start looking spring-y before too long....

Hatchbacks RULE

This post may be a little delayed, but on account of the fact that my entire body blew up, I had other things on my mind.In an effort to slim down and tone up, I've taken on a new fervor for exercise. I tend to go in some cyclical patterns when it comes to working out (i.e. I worked out for an hour 6 days a week from April 2008-Jan 2009 and worked out about 10 minutes 1 day a week from Jan 2010 to now). Well, I know I feel much better when I'm working...

Oh, it's big.

So. It's the day before Easter. I'm planning the menu and the goodies and the trails the Easter Bunny is going to leave behind for the hub and I. I'm am planning trips to Wal-Mart, Target and the Dollar Store. I am lamenting a bit the fact that there is no Big Lots in the area. I LOVE Big Lots (but why, oh why did they name it Big Lots? Seriously). I have an idea - I've googled Big Lots in Fargo - but what about Moorhead? This wouldn't be the first...

Happy Easter

I was determined to make today a lovely Easter. Even if it meant staying up way too late and working a bit harder then my body really wanted to me. And, at least, I succeeded!I straightened the whole house last night, made decorated rice-krispie treat eggs, got our London Broil marinating, and made a batch of sugar cookie dough (completely by hand since my egg beater gave up the ghost - what's with me a egg beater deaths?).I then laid out Geoff's...

Puffy, Swollen, and Itchy

It all started late Monday night. Geoff and I had undertaken the grueling task of carrying the treadmill back down 3 flights of stairs, driving it back to Wal-meezy and dealing with the return of the treadmill.I started making dinner. A delicious Lime Chicken dinner with Avocado mash. Really, delicious. After I put the chicken in the pan to cook, I sat down to watch Geoff work on re-conditioning our bikes so we could go for an early morning bike...
