Floor plans
I’m doing a completely separate blog post just for the floorplan of this house. It’s kinda confusing and I didn’t want to overload you last week. Ya know, because one post per week is my max these days. So this house is kind of a split level. I say ‘kind of’ because this isn’t one…
Read MoreIt's almost February…
and I’ve been absent for most of January. It’s not because I’ve been omgsobusy because I haven’t been. It’s actually been incredibliy boring. Well, that’s not entirely true. I did turn 29 (and I’ll be 29 for the rest of my life if you’d like to know) and We put in an offer on a…

Fish house colonies form on the lakes as soon as the ice is thick enough. They remain for months. Or at least until the annual ice fishing competition in February. Blue Moon is served in mason jars. It snows… And snows… and snows some more. And never melts. And flannel is the uniform…
Read MoreInsta Friday
Happy Insta Friday everyone. Hubs told Shiner it was too cold for her naked ass and took Sheldon outside to chase the bunnies in my mom’s backyard. Homegirl diva dog DID NOT like that. She stayed like this crying for them the whole time they were out there. If she only knew she hated the…
Read MoreHoly Crap it's 2013
Well that was fast. 2012 was a complete blur. Not unlike the New Years eve I experienced. My friend J mentioned this black tie event thingy at a fancy museum. Hubs and I jumped at the chance. Dressing up is few and far between these days. New York was a constant dress up party. Minnesota….…

Well, in-laws, more accurately. Hubs and I are living in my in-laws basement. Despite popular belief we are not destitute. There are approximately zero apartments in this town that allow pets. The good news is, now that we have zero rent/mortgage payments, a lake house is in our near future. Our house in Houston closes on the…
Read MoreDeep Freeze
If you’re wondering why I’ve been off the grid, it’s simple. Its effing freezing in MN. The Deets: Sweater: Husbands Leggings: Capezio Boots: Sorel This is my first major snow experience in 7 years. Also, since this picture was taken we’ve experienced freezing rain and snow. ‘snowy mix’ is what they call it. ‘death trap’ is what…
Read MoreInsta Friday
It’s Friday. You know what that means. Insta friday! Mostly because that’s all I have time for today. I am 99.9% unpacked. (can I get a woo hoo!) Without further ado, my last week in insta pics. Insert the obligatory follow me on instagram here (Marriage by Design) obvs. I had a nice big vodka…
Read MoreNo Longer a New Yorker
We made it to Minnesota in one piece. We moved out of our teeny Upper West Side apartment on Friday. I cried. A lot. When I walked through our empty apartment to shut off all the lights, I completely lost it. I walked out the front door of our building and a homeless man going…
Read MoreLast Days in the City
It’s the final countdown. Friday is the day we don’t speak of. You guys, the amount of packing we have done is sad. Approximately, none if you were wondering. Even though we are currently buried in bubble wrap, we are still taking time to do a few last minute things in the city. Last week…
