How Long Does It Take?

For a post to show up in Google Reader? I guess we'll see...

What's for dinner tonight?

On my menu it looks like it's going to be chicken with cous cous and salad.

I feel like this is Twitter... only on Blogger! HAHA!!

Still Totally Random

Yep, seriously.

I've peed 4 times today already trying to drink more water.

I feel like I'm in some sort of holistic detox program today.

Ack. I'm Trying to Get Rid of Advertisements

On the RSS feed post footer so I'm going to post a few random things just to make sure that I'm getting rid of advertisements!

Motivation

I need the motivation to rise before 6 to actually exercise. Seriously, I mean if you wake up before 6, how the heck do you do it?

And what time do you go to bed?

Ok, Happy Hump Day!

Drumroll Please...

I passed the driver's test! On the first try! But I forgot to bring my marriage license and I've been married for two years.

Oops. At least I look good in my picture!

I promise, tomorrow afternoon I'll hunt down my card reader and upload some pics.

Oh yeah, and post a recipe too!

10 Random Facts

1. I lost my card reader. Surprise, surprise.

2. The only finished room in the house is the kitchen. Dining room is next, then master bedroom, then office, then family room, then the living room and the 3 season porch. Oh yeah, we'll have to get patio furniture too.

3. Owning a house is expensive.

4. I really like gardening and playing in the dirt.

5. Cottage cheese is a fantastic breakfast.

6. I feel so old with a home phone number. Who knew?

7. Changing your address gets you Pottery Barn coupons.

8. Clutter makes me stressed & crazy.

9. I have to take the MN driver's test today. It's known as the "knowledge" test. BWAHAHA!!!

10. I'm going to laugh if I don't pass the test...

Happy Tuesday!!

Look At What I Found!

Ahh... The Beach...

Donkey Beach, K'auai - we rode there on rented bikes. I totally felt like a 12 year old.

By the way - these pics are for Bess Wess, Robyn, Spartacus' Momma and those that want to actually see our vacation pictures. No, I will not comment on each of them...
Donkey Beach - the waves were AMAZING. Between 8 - 10 feet tall. The surfers were just AWESOME.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA... I have to laugh. I don't think we've ever looked so dumb. I was totally freaking out (though I was silent about it) when I stopped concentrating on the steps and started seeing the ground 100 feet below me). Scary.
LONGBOARD. I'm looking for this beer. And I can't find it in Minneapolis? Anyone have any idea of where I could find a specialty beer?

Ok, promise... the new house will be next!

Coffee??? How do I make it?

I'm a horrible coffee maker. How does everyone make coffee??? I follow the directions - 2 tablespoons per 6 oz of water. BUT, it always turns out kinda gross. What the heck am I doing wrong? How do I perfect the art of coffee making?

In Hawaii we had the best Kona and K'auai coffee. It was amazing. So I bought some to make at home and um, I'm not doing it correctly!

BTW - we have a Krups 12 cup coffeemaker. It looks like this:

OMG. I'm back. Finally.

Geez, it's been a long journey.

We bought a house. Pictures to come.

I got a job. No pictures to come.

I'm gardening. OMG. I can't believe I bought dirt today. For $1.99. And I'm even going to plant bulbs, anyone got any good ideas for a shade garden?

We have internet. After about a week and a half. And DVR. Woo hoo!

And a home phone. That's way too weird for my generation.

I have a kitchen that's the color of the sea. Yes. And I also drink Kona coffee. And only coffee that's Hawaiian. Unless it's local.

And um, well, that's the news so far.

I still gotta upload my pictures of the house and some food that I've made so far.

Coming up:

1. My New House
2. Cumin Dusted Chicken with Onions & Potatoes
3. Help Me With a Shade Garden
