about

I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

Something Stinks In The Garden

You guys, I almost took a picture of poop today.  

[Never mind that I often take pictures of poop because our smallest offspring is potty-training and it is that big of a deal.]

I mean, I almost took a picture of a poop of mysterious origin and then posted it, so you'd have to look at it also.

I'm sorry for almost taking a picture of poop and making you look at it.

We just harvested our beets and carrots and so there was a huge patch of freshly turned dirt that apparently looks like a DAMN LITTER BOX.  

I messed up the feral-neighborhood-cat-restroom by doing a second planting.  And putting cayenne pepper EVERYWHERE.  

It's doubtful that my root vegetables will be anything but spicy.

I put so much on there.  

Can you see it?  I can see it.  I can taste it through my eyeballs.

And garlic.  What do we know about garlic?  I want to plant some of that stuff.  And onions.  Those things seem exciting.  #howyouknowyoure30

That's for you, Dina.  - Melanie

    Of man. THANK YOU. And I’m a teeny bit freaking jealous of your garden.

    Stupid neighborhood cats think our garden areas look like spots to take shizzles and pizzles (aren’t our cute terms so pleasant to use?) and I hate it too. We even had individual flower plots with big loads somehow perched atop the tiny little pots. I can’t imagine how they aimed well enough to even pull it off. Anyhow, I refrained from burning down the neighborhood and planted catnip elsewhere…it didn’t work but I thought I’d share my genius plan!
