The Virgin Post

Wow, my first post. I've been reading friend's blogs for a bit and decided to finally join up. I kind of have a "late to the party" sort of feeling though. Like only the cheap drinks are left in the bottom of the cooler and all the food is gone. But hey, I can still have a good time, right?

All right, well, what's going on? Things are pretty good in our little corner of NE Mpls. We have a great house in a great 'hood. I live 10 minutes from downtown MPLS and can still take a walk late at night without worrying about my safety. And thanks to the parks and little shops around here I know people in the neighborhood and everyone says, "hello" when you're out walking. Very unique for MN. Kind of a small town in the big city kind of feeling. A lot of the neighbors know each other and we hook up for grilling and bonfires in the summer.

Summer! Man, am I looking forward to summer. Walking and biking to the parks and hanging at the Audobon Coffee Shop. Noah and I were cooped up too much this winter. Besides a small stint at ECFE and hooking up with friends a couple times a week, we've been stuck in the house for the most part. You can only do so much before cabin fever sets in. And two year olds have limitless amounts of energy. I swear he gets more every day. That kid can run circles around me. If only we could bottle and sell it, we'd finally be rich! Rich, I say!

As I already wrote, I stay home with our 2 1/2 year old son during the day and work evenings and/or weekends as a massage therapist. My website should be up soon: www.keathlymassage.com. Check it out! Stan works his 9-5 at Custom Guide as a flash programmer and enjoys his job and working with the High brothers. Our family also includes our friend Jeppa (as Little Man calls him) who has been living with us off and on as a roommate ever since Stan and I started dating, almost 7 years ago. Wow, time does sure fly.

Anyhow, that's the quick update. I'm sure I'll flesh things out later, both for myself and for whoever my readers might be, if any. I don't have a job to lose over this blog (see Dooce). But even so, I won't be writing things I wouldn't want everyone in the world to read, even those I despise. So go ahead, blurk if you wanna. You're not going to find anything I haven't already decided you may know about. I'm going to have some fun venting as I sit here on our couch, hanging with the laptop, watching Little Man watch 'Dora The Explorer.'
