Birthday wishlist
Today is my last birthday of my 20s. To celebrate, I'm creating a big ol' wishlist. Some of it's ridiculous luxuries I'll never get, but feel free to buy me any of it.

Kitchen tip: Keep pots from boiling over
My skills in the kitchen are definitely limited. The smoke detector often ends up in the cupboard, and a mess is inevitable. Pasta is one of the few dishes I can successfully pull off, but the meal usually follows a catastrophic boil over when I'm not looking. But not after this tip.
Place a wooden spoon across the top of the pot and let the water boil away. I've yet to have a mess erupt from my pasta water.

FridayInFargo
This week marks a decade since I moved to Fargo. My move here was meant as something temporary, a step toward getting somewhere else. I was at the end of a relationship and confused about which direction my education should go.
I moved into a small, cheap (and scary at times) downtown apartment. Broadway was in the middle of its reconstruction, and young people tended to stay away. The first winter here, I read almost a book a day, slept in a room with nothing but a bed and watching Oprah on 17" TV from an air mattress. I planned my next move, where I would go and how I could find a hipper, cooler place to call home.
But somewhere along my stay here, it became my hometown.
The city grew up with me. I met my husband, reconnected with some great friends, found a career and made a home.

ColorfulThursday: Rose Gold
I'm not a huge fan of pink, nor of gold, but put them together and I think I've found something to get behind.
