My Florida friends don’t understand it, but Minneapolis is really pretty during winter.
Maybe I’ll even make a road trip to see Bemidji in winter again.

Stitches begone!
Today was an exciting day because I got to walk the dogs with gloves on! Just in time too – it’s a bit nippy.
I had a cast on my finger since Thanksgiving that prevented me from wearing gloves. I got my stitches removed today so I can take the dogs on long walks without worrying about my fingers freezing off.
The finger still looks gruesome enough to keep me away from bars. I’m hiding it with a bandage for now. Maybe it’s time for some Paris Hilton gloves.
Dull but here
Several people have noted that things are much quieter around these parts. Blogging was easier when I was in school because I was busy exploring the city, surrounded by hilarious people, attending drag shows, and living in a crazy apartment building full of drug dealers, passive aggressive notes, and schizophrenics.
Now my days are filled with work, dog walks and marathons of Law & Order, Midsomer Murders, and The First 48. Sure, my school life provided easier blog fodder, but things are more comfortable now.
So many of my favorite blogs faded over the years. Molly Joon, Alexa, and Simon Psaric moved to Tumblr. Everyone else stopped updating livejournal and fled to twitter or facebook… I guess my point is that this blog has run for seven years so far. Some periods will be more exciting than others, but at least I’m still here.
Also, this is actually a very exciting time of my life. I’ve had my post-law school job for 10 months now and already received a promotion, but running around boasting about that isn’t exactly tactful is it?
