http://minniemag.blogspot.com/2009/10/here-comes-sunor-perhaps-hurricane.html
Friday, October 23, 2009. Here comes the sun.or perhaps the hurricane. We're boarding this cat (spoiled rotten; but the alternative is to come home to a bird blood bath) and we're going on a cruise (tomorrow)! I'm so excited (wahoo! To get out of dodge with my honey (husband of my dreams) and take a week to decompress. (Plus, they have cheese plates on cruise ships! Where are you cruising? October 26, 2009 at 9:13 AM.

Eclecticism At Its Best: Christmas Spirit
http://minniemag.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-spirit.html
Wednesday, December 16, 2009. As we don’t have a tree up this year and the economy has kind of crunched our purchasing activities we have had a really tough time getting into the “Christmas spirit”. I tried several things—listening to and performing Christmas music, making cookies, drinking lots of Abuelita, and incorporating winter smells into our house, but nothing really worked. Then the following happened:. 2) Went to a Christmas party. 4) Went to another Christmas party. 5) I worked on some gifts.

Eclecticism At Its Best: June 2009
http://minniemag.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 13, 2009. Our street makes a perfect campsite anyway. We had arrived at our campsite on Friday night, had started a fire, popped the camper top, and thrown rocks into the river. Craig: Guess what we forgot. Maryn: Oh blank (insert your favorite curse word.) The kids' bed. Note to self. When taking the kids camping, remember to put their bed in the camper. Fortunately we were at Grime's Creek rather (45 minutes away) than Challis (5 hours away)- as originally planned. Books Fill My Mind.

Eclecticism At Its Best: August 2009
http://minniemag.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 26, 2009. This morning Craig and I were discussing plans for Saturday and since things have been quite chaotic lately, we are planning a lazy weekend—specifically, we’d discussed renting a movie. That’s the background for the following Instant Messaging exchange. Ahem. How much money do you have left from the fair? So, you’ve got mad money (Craig’s $20 that he always has in his wallet) and $8. Well, at least we all had fun at the fair…for $100. Tuesday, August 25, 2009. The VIP Family o...

Eclecticism At Its Best: Green Eggs--no seriously!
http://minniemag.blogspot.com/2009/12/green-eggs-no-seriously.html
Monday, December 7, 2009. Green Eggs- no seriously! I always thought Dr. Seuss was just being goofy when he asked if “you like green eggs and ham” but did you know that some chickens really do lay green eggs? I love to eat farm fresh eggs but they are so astonishingly expensive at the grocery store. Turns out that one of Craig’s scouts raises chickens and sells the eggs for $2 per dozen. Totally worth it and totally green (pun intended). Our house has its very own URL. For your viewing pleasure.

Eclecticism At Its Best: Emily Bear
http://minniemag.blogspot.com/2010/01/emily-bear.html
Friday, January 15, 2010. A few nights ago I was practicing the piano and wanted to hear a recording of a particular song. I searched for it on my best friend YouTube and stumbled upon recordings by Emily Bear by whom I’m now totally captivated. Enough of my talking, here’s a video of her playing one of her compositions. Enjoy. Oh, and when I heard her playing Doctor Gradus Ad Parnassum, I thought—oh, THAT’S what that song was supposed to sound like when I played it at age 17.). Books Fill My Mind.

Thursday, January 28, 2010. Well guys—sincere thanks to the few of you who have followed this blog regularly. I don’t live anywhere cool and I don’t have any kids who aren't already being blogged about. Maybe someday if I do either of those things, I’ll bring my “personal” blog back to life, but for now I’m going to focus on A VW for Everybody. And Books Fill My Mind.

Eclecticism At Its Best: %^&# 2009
http://minniemag.blogspot.com/2009/12/2009.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. In all honesty, we had a great year. I feel like I should be all depressed about some of the stuff that happened in 2009. Maybe it is just that I’m heavily medicated or something, but really I’m pretty happy about the way the year went down. Today holds my last chance to muck up my doughnut resolution and as a result, the cravings are coming in strong today. My mind is simply determined to make failure my destiny, but this year it is going to lose. Ha! Take that, brain! Lol- ...

Eclecticism At Its Best: Art.
http://minniemag.blogspot.com/2009/11/art.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. One of the things I love about my husband it that he is such a “guy”. Between the two of us, we couldn’t paint our way through a halogen lit tunnel. The colors would clash, the figures would be unidentifiable, and we’d both sit down halfway through and decide that it was a stupid project and we should go eat pizza or something. Maryn: Will you please take a picture of me in this shirt? Maryn: So I can send your mom a thank you card. Craig: okay, what do you mean? I’m conv...

Eclecticism At Its Best: July 2009
http://minniemag.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 19, 2009. Quoth the Raven "Nevermore". Our cat- Ottoman- has proven himself to be quite the hunter of moths and spiders. This has come to my great satisfaction as I have an irrational paranoia surrounding moths. I'm afraid that I may have encouraged his behaviour a little too much because he's found other things with which to play.none quite so helpful as moths and spiders. We woke up Saturday morning and found an earthworm on our bedroom floor. It was in four pieces. A worm? The Big Red Flat.
