This blog post is going to be controversial for some. Some will agree, some will not, some are going to look at me and wonder how it is as a woman and mother I could possibly see and understand certain sides of the people in this story and even have a level of sympathy for … More Controversy in Beartown
This thing still on… It has been about five months since I wrote my last blog. Life became a handful there for a bit – bought a house, got promoted, missed Texas (well, not Texas but certain members of my family) so much I was tempted to up and leave in the darkest hours of the … More Once Upon a Coffee Bar
“Stuff and nonsense. Nonsense and stuff and much of a muchness and nonsense all over again. We are all mad here, don’t you know?” Life has gotten very full lately. Between typical year-end stuff at work, buying a home, and missing Texas and the people there, my stress level is full. This is about the … More Stuff and Nonsense
When I first started going to the Vicinity Coffee location at 3350 Lyndale Avenue South, it was not Vicinity Coffee. It was actually CRC Coffee Bar (CRC standing for Cars-R-Coffins) which was a coffee bar/bike repair shop. When this place closed its doors in March 2011, I was a sad girl. Not only because the coffee … More A Neighborly Cup of Coffee
Wesley Andrews Conversation Complements has been all over my Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook feeds for weeks now. It happens when you follow a lot of coffee and Minneapolis/St. Paul foodie-type sites. I’m by no means complaining. Between this and it becoming the new go-to coffee shop for a close friend, it was quickly moved to the … More You Will Know Wesley Andrews CC
My obsession with coffee and books is very apparent if you scroll through my Instagram feed. I follow more book/coffee/food pages than actual people. I have notifications setup so when pages like Eat.Drink.Dish MLPS or foodieapolis (as well as countless coffee shops, bars, cafes, etc.) post something, my phone sends a ding of happiness my way. 🙂 So I had … More Lost in an Urban Labyrinth
I am usually all for stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new things. I like to think that one of my strongest character traits is I will try new foods, new places, and new adventures (unless it involves heights where I’m not safely enclosed, snakes, or stupid scary masks – – I do … More Dear Comfort Zone…I’m sorry.

Stillwater is probably my favorite town in Minnesota, besides Duluth – – but that’s a two-hour drive, and Stillwater is just under 30 minutes from where I live. I spend a lot of time there so of course, I have a favorite spot. I have spent many weekends sitting on the patio of the Daily Grind which conveniently … More A Curious Brew
I feel like I’ve read a LOT of science fiction and dark thrillers lately. I’m certainly not complaining. I feel my obsession with them is a healthy one. (Says the obsessor 🙂 ) Due to this, it will come as no surprise that I’m reviewing two of Peter Clines books – 14 and The Fold. But first…. … More When Visiting Parallel Universes, bring Beer
