I guess I'll know I'm truly starting to fit in if I ever utter something is "too spendy" since that is a phrase that has honestly never come close to passing through these lips.
And I better gets some Uggs since David's business is in Edina.
Fingers crossed it won't be too cold next weekend. I'm sure I'll be up there again soon enough to get together!
Our one and only DQ is closed for winter :-(
I don't get it. I eat hot food in summer, and cold food in winter. That includes ice cream. Why do they have to close?
I don't really have anything to say to this update, but I have a goal to be 100% as far as commenting on blog posts I read. I added you to my list, so here is my comment. enjoy. :)
Have a nice weekend. :)
Ha! That's awesome! I'm reposting portions; and most of those are fairly accurate, too.
Hey, we are above freezing here in the winter but I'm still not going outside for a ride. Great compilation of tid bits. If I ever go to MN I know who to contact :).
Some are so true....like heated seats. A total MUST!
Personally I consider down south anything south of 494 but I'm all about up north!
1. I rode my bike outside today. 2. Growing up in a small town here in AZ we only had one fast food restaurant and it was Dairy Queen. Open year round - but my lips did turn blue last winter while trying to eat frozen yogurt. Apparently i don't do cold well.
I grew up in CT and could relate to some of those things (mostly because I grew up in a rural area) like ice fishing, eating venison, and knowing how to use jumper cables.
I remember when DQ closed for the winter. I think it was that way in Ohio. We don't have DQ here...but I'm sure if we did it wouldn't close for the winter.
Haha I've jumped 5 different cars this winter. With my own cables. :)
