Monday, 8/6/12. “Did you take a dump in my bathroom?” Yes, folks, that was probably the first words out of the ever-rested Morgan Menke’s mouth this morning. Good morning to you, too, honey! Morgan has taken ownership of the outhouse here at Miner’s Lake Campground. “It’s clean. It smells good. And there are no flies.” [...] 
Sunday, 8/5/12 Charlie was the first up and had a fire built. I, of course, thought it was Dave out there. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I rolled over and he was laying inches away from my face, still sleeping. Yikes. A very odd occurrence, indeed. Morgan, who went to bed at [...] 
Continued from previous post: Saturday, August 4, 2012. [very few pictures. but I promise. it get's better after today.] It was warm, but not ridiculous hot, and after sitting around for a while snacking — why, after 20 hours of driving does sitting down feel so good? — we walked down to the lake. [I [...] 
Saturday, 8/4/12. PART ONE. Cool Green Moss on a Stump We actually did a pretty good job of driving thru. We stopped outside of Fergus Falls for fast food around 7:30. Arby’s, of all places. For years — forever, really — Arby’s has been the butt of jokes for the Menke family. Don’t get [...] 
I been saving myself for the past two months. Gearing up for Road Warriors. No. Not really. Actually, if you want the truth, writing here is a luxury. I love it. But it feels…irresponsible, somehow, when all Hell is breaking loose elsewhere. So, it becomes a luxury I can’t afford. Is that the long-lost catholic [...] 
And that’s about the only good news. I’d love to rant and rave about all KINDS of blog posts that I have written in my head as I go from one crisis to another, always 7-19 minutes late for everything, but I don’t have time. Charlie has to ref in about 30 minutes, Morgan has [...] 
I needn’t belabor nature’s harsh pecking order. You know it, I know it. We can choose to close our eyes to the gore, to the unflinching honesty of it all. We can TURN THE CHANNEL. QUICK. TURN THE CHANNEL, dammit! Why men love to linger, while surfing channels to utter distraction, on the bucolic [...] 
What do you give the guy that has everything? No, that’s not quite right… What do you give the guy who doesn’t want anything? …No, that’s not quite right either. He always wants a jacket. He has a jacket fetish. We actually have an entire closet in our laundry room to house his collection. [...] 
Anyone who has ever picked up a Thai cookbook will know what they say: that store-bought Thai green curry paste is but a shadow of the real thing. Blah blah blah. I’ve been a green curry fan since sometime in college when I first ate at Sawatdee in Minneapolis with my then-boyfriend Jim — [...] 
Seriously people. If I had more time, I’d go around at night snapping pictures of houses light up at night with multi-colored Christmas lights and decked-out Christmas trees in living room windows, googling their addresses and calling them out online. I just don’t get it. I know, I know: “I love Christmas. I hate when [...] |

It's true. I do have a real job. If you are looking for my graphic design site, please click the link above. Jennie's bookshelf: read
Third book of hers that I've read. Couldn't put it down. I think probably all in all it's the best one
Audible book. I like this book a lot. It was a little sad. But well worth the read
Audible book. Two stars might be kind of harsh, but after all the ridiculously good reviews on this book from "even non-techie people" I have to disagree. While perhaps a non-techy person could read this book and enjoy it, a non-call of ...
This is a pick from bookclub by Melissa. I enjoyed it -- it was quick -- maybe two hours? Enjoyable but not my favorite genre
