Boo Turns 15!

June 4, 2015

This month, Boo turns 15 years old! Wow. It’s hard to believe how fast time passes. It’s also hard to believe that I’m old enough to have had a cat in my adult life for 15 years. If she were a human, she’d be begging to drive my car and otherwise unruly. Fortunately the most unruly things she does are puke on the carpet and demand to be let into the bathroom whenever she’s on the opposite side of the closed door.

Boo hasn’t slowed down too much, and she’s still as evil as ever, which I take to mean she will live FOREVAR! She isn’t a fan of photos, hence the glare in the one above. Or maybe it was because she knew I was going to close her window. Regardless, every time she does something cute she stops the minute I point the camera at her.

Despite not approving of people in general, Boo’s an amazing kitty. I’m very fortunate to have stumbled across her in the humane society. Here’s to many more years!

MN State Fair – 9/1/14

October 26, 2014

After a long softball tournament weekend in Duluth, we wrapped up Labor Day Weekend by going to the fair one last time. Nick made it a point to eat things he hadn’t tried before, which really impressed me. I had a great time this year, but I missed doing a full day with just Nick and me. There’s always next year.

Once again, I am late at posting my fair blog. Which, really, should come as no surprise at this point.

MN State Fair – 8/21/14

August 25, 2014

Nick, the Murderses, and I ventured out to the Great Minnesota Get Together on opening day this year. Our normal parking lot had been converted into the new West End Market, so we parked in the old bus lot, which felt pretty weird actually.

Nick kicked off the evening with an About a Foot Long hot dog as tradition goes. I had a corn dog. It was everything I’ve been dreaming of for the past year. Whitney and I did a wine flight again. I was not impressed. It was better than last year’s, but not by much. This may be the last time I have wine at the fair.

For new fair foods, we tried the pretzel curds from O’Gara’s, which were excellent but not in a get-these-every-year way, and the SnoRibbons from Blue Moon. I liked the SnoRibbons, but I wish I’d waited for a better flavor, as my choices were churro or mango, neither of which I’m a fan of. I’d like to try them again, but there are so many other ice creamy type things on my list that I don’t know if I will this year. I guess it depends on which flavors they have when we return.

I have a long list of favorite foods to eat as well as new foods to try. Time will only tell what’s next!
