While you’re here, I did the girl math. If I sell 66,802 copies of my E-book, I can pay off my student loans.

The E-book version of The Mermaid of Lake Superior is $2.99 on Amazon:

The moment you go, β€œI need a new tattoo!” and realize this is your reflexive response when you can no longer make your own sunshine.

The person in front of me this morning on the drive to work failed slowing down to turn twice and then hit a snowbank trying to turn and bounced back at me.

I love paying butt loads of property taxes to walk with my dog (cuz we sure as heck can’t run) on whatever the f* this is. You’d think a winter city like Anchorage would figure it out.

Sorry you have to go through the stinky poo sandwich. πŸ˜” Hopefully you will make your way out of it and on to bigger and better things like…pickled herring(?)or whatever it is you used to tweet about. 🀣 Sardines? I can’t remember.

My husband was at one time president of the curling club. There was no cross-training, which I devoted a lot of time to for roller derby.

It’s mostly practice and learning strategy. Yet he would argue that he’s the one who played a β€œreal” sport. πŸ™ƒ

This was my 2nd great grandpa. If I die in the rest room and you guys put it in my obituary I’m going to come back from the afterlife to cut a B.

I feel like a lot of people out there wrongfully use their smart/successful adult children to justify they were good at parenting and are decent human beings when they are straight up Yahtzee/p3do sympathizing trash feeding their feeble retirement savings to millionaires to own some libs.

What is the threat?

All copper mines experience spills and accidental releases.

Email your senators to tell them to vote NO on HJ140 to protect the water system that so many flora and fauna rely on for survivalβ€”including humans. It’s also WAY too close to Lake Superior for comfort.

Roses are red, clean lakes are blue, sulfide-ore copper mining is the wrong thing to do

Roses are red, clean lakes are blue, sulfide-ore copper mining is the wrong thing to do

Proposed legislation introduces sulfide-ore copper mining in the MN Superior National Forest by a Chilean-owned company. Pollution near the headwaters of the Boundary Waters would spread to connected rivers and lakes as well as enter the groundwater.

When I was a little girl my grandpa saved my life, and today we celebrated his.

At the after party I rifled through stinky files of old documents to find the newspapers that he thought were worthy of saving. He wasn’t wrong. πŸ˜†

Grandpa’s text calling Ice β€œinappropriate.”

Grandpa was the biggest fan of my book. Every time we talked, he’d ask about my progress on book two.

The last time we texted I asked him about 🧊 activity. β€œInappropriate.” Seems a little more heavy coming from someone who was alive during WW2. πŸ˜”
