The Pig Pen

I'm the last person I thought would ever create a blog. It's my lame attempt to give my family and friends a means of keeping up with my goings on and those of my kids. This way, I can prove I haven't fallen off the earth and that I do think of you all often.. even if I don't show it. Here goes!

The Good, the Bad and the OK




Minneapolis hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. Though much different than life in the Pacific Northwest. It has taken some adjustments, but I'm getting more use to it.

Things I like:
1. Lots of parks here!
2. Professional sports teams
3. The zoo
4. Museums
5. Great bar scene
6. Thursday is the new Friday here ( in a going out sense)
7. Mall of America (sans kids)
8. Most people are pretty friendly (Eagan is sorta touch and go)
9. Cascade Bay Waterpark
10.Valleyfair (amusement park)
11. Everything I 'need' is in close proximity to my residence
12.Thunderstorms

Things I'm not crazy about:
1. Snow
2. Mosquitos
3. Humidity
4. Crazy drivers (And you guys in WA think the ID drivers are bad!)
5. Self absorbed people
6. Headgames (popular social thread here)
7. Snobbiness of Eagan
8. Flat terrain and no white water rafting
9. The 'no alcohol sales on Sunday' rule
10. The 'no car sales on Sunday' rule (I can't afford one, it's just dumb)
11. Cost of living
12. Lack of drive-thru, corner coffee huts (Walnut Street Perk - I miss u!)
