Riot and Frolic

a mostly ballroom dance, but also a bunch of other stuff, blog

– read Pride and Prejudice.  Accidentally.  Explanation: I like reading while eating my breakfast.  Much to the detriment of my brain cells, my table has been well-stocked with catalogs and magazines.  But late last week, GOD FORBID!, I had run out of inane material and I shuffled over to the bookshelf and grabbed the pretty, hardcover, B&N Austen collection.  Because it's pretty.

I read about a page and I WAS HOOKED!  I finished it in 3 days.  Suck it, Twilight.  

– made my first pie crust from scratch.  It didn't suck and it didn't cost me $5 and a bunch of packaging, so my wallet and THE WORLD win.  So did my stomach.  Yum.

– how great is Northeast?  

 

northeast minneapolis from the Guthrie

it's soooooooo great


– did you know you can get in the Guthrie and just walk around?  That place is super neat.  (AND they're playing Pride and Prejudice right now.  [No, this isn't a sponsored post.])

– these kids.  They don't get more normal every day.

– I've voted LITERALLY about 1000 times for this guy on So You Think You Can Dance.

Mostly because he's had to wear a shirt every single episode, but also because he's a great Latin dancer and a total sweetheart and I KNOW HIM.  MINNESOTAN!

VOTE FOR ALAN!

 How was your week?  Enjoying the Minnesota… fall?
