to the state fair




last weekend we hopped on a bus and attended the Great Minnesota Get-Together! We ate deep fried treats, looked at new cars we wanted to buy and visited baby animals. My favorite thing to do is ride the sky ride but we didn't get a chance to do that this year so... maybe next year! 


ps. i swear the quietness on the blog is for good. stay tuned for some big(ish) news!

Cabin Time

Summer in Minnesota means cabin time. Each weekend, cars are loaded and coolers are packed and people are on 94 ready for their short (or long) drives up north.

Soon we'll be headed to good ol' Wisconsin with a few friends to enjoy some quality lake time. Spending a few days soaking up the summer sun, grilling up dinner and winding down by the campfire. Oh and of course sangria, beer and plenty of drinking games.

Bags are yet to be packed but here are some necessities for time at the cabin. Minus the bug spray.

roller suitcases and king size beds


I'm in Orlando for five days for work and still trying to get the hang of this whole travel-for-work thing. So far, here are the goods and the not-so-goods. lets start with the latter.

not-so-goods
- crying babies. crying babies who sit behind me. crying babies who sit behind me during a three hour flight. 
- also sitting next to a man in flannel pjs, no shoes and lots of unshowered hair. and he did lots of hair shakes. 
- roller suitcases. the boyfriend's was super funky and it took me a good 15 minutes to figure out how to use it.
- not being 25. and not getting to drive a Mustang. damn you rental car age limits!
- of course, missing the wiz and the boyfriend. and it's only been a day. 

goods
- big fluffy beds to myself! and lots of pillows. 
- the boyfriend sending me pics of the cat during the day. just to keep me updated. 
- lovely conversation with my coworker. looking forward to our big move next month and that we'll all be in the same building and floor.
- a tv built into the mirror in the bathroom. 
- a new gym to work out in. at least for a few days. 
- and not running outside (oh the humidity!)
- the little tiny soap in the bathroom that is shaped like a duck. but the three duck paintings in my room are weird. 
- drinking the mini fridge bottled water. because i already paid for it. boo-yah!

Off to spend the day at the work event. Hopefully Tropical Storm Debbie doesn't hang around too much and it becomes sunnier. Happy Wednesday
