I finished the latch hook project I’ve been working on for over a year! No, not a year straight–I’ve taken many breaks. I’m not very dedicated to my crafting endeavor. But thanks to lockdown, I’ve had more time to sit inside and listen–to meetings, to the radio, etc. while needing something to do with my…

April 14 is Be Kind To Laywers Day. Obviously, there is a favorite lawyer in my life, and I try to be kind to him every day–admittedly to varying degrees of success. (Although things have been going quite well for Chamy during lockdown, I’m sure in part because Chad has a “home office” space on…

I’m all caught up with the podcast “Dead Eyes.” This makes me feel very accomplished. I feel like I’ve achieved something primarily for two reasons: I haven’t listened to podcasts that much before now Chad and I are never caught up on our tv viewing My career as a podcast listener is a direct result…

(Author’s corrections/additions: Since I published this yesterday, I found a Pass Easter Egg Dyeing Kit in our basement, proof that I’ve had intentions of celebrating Easter in the last 20 years. Also, my sister said she and my mom DID used to hide Easter eggs for us. As my sister recalls, our dad would usually…

I often say I don’t read (which is funny, because I’m a librarian, right?) It’s true, I rarely read fiction books with my eyes, either in paper or eBook formats. I listen to audiobooks instead, mostly when I work out. (I got through a lot of audiobooks during marathon training). Sometimes I will actually read…

I never used to be a hugger. It’s just not what my rural German family or community did. I definitely spent the first-half of my life not hugging people. We only hugged on VERY special occasions–actually, graduation is the only occasion I can think of. Then I met the Snyders. They hugged in greeting and…

I can’t believe I’ve almost completed Week 4 of WFH full-time. Official “Shelter At Home”/”Never F#$in Go Anywhere” didn’t start until a few days later…but however it’s counted, it’s very surreal. Time actually feels like it’s speeding up the longer we’re sequestered, which could be a good thing–I’m not bored–but I’m also not getting any…

Sometimes it takes me a while to figure out how to end an online meeting–I literally can’t quickly find the “Leave meeting” button in Zoom or the hang up phone icon in Teams or Skype. This seems to be seeping into my real life. I don’t want this post to be an “Oh the Perils…

I wish I could come close to writing something that could appropriately honor John Prine on his death. I’m not even all that familiar with his work. Chad is the official fan our household (he’s already got his John Prine song book out). I’m just a fan by proxy. We did see him in concert…

We are so happy we got to order delivery from one of our favorite restaurants, Hai Hai, last night. This is the first weekend they’ve been open for takeout or delivery since all Minnesota restaurants closed for in-person dining. We love the food–and cocktails–from Hai Hai, but it’s more than just a restaurant or bar.…
