Oddly, this is probably my most running-related post for a while. And it’s a short essay that my college boyfriend wrote. He’s currently working on a masters in creative writing. I’m keeping him anonymous because he is pretty private on the internet, and I don’t want this cropping up in a search engine somewhere. Well, [...]
First of all, I have to tell you that last night’s Doomtree show was awesome! And awesomely loud. I brought ear plugs for once. Loudest show I’ve been to. And you know what kind of music I listen to … \m/
The show was SOLD OUT. Which still made for an intimate event at this [...]
This post is LONG overdue. Especially since football season has ended.
Nonetheless, I forgot to tell y’all about taking Mark and his dad to a Bears / Vikings game in the Twin Cities. I got tickets for his dad for Christmas. I wanted to take MY dad too, considering he’s a huge Bears fan and [...]
So I know you’re all in “get fit and trim” and “eat healthy” mode.
But you know, you’ve been doing that for 3 whole weeks now. And the that means you’re probably pretty much done with all of that crap until January 2013.

To the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012.
Have a safe and fun evening. I’ll be at the bash Mark’s brother’s friends throw annually.
Here’s a shot by Justin who took a shot of us doing shots (I hope it wasn’t Scotche) and ringing in 2011. It [...]
Hello bloggity bloglings! It’s been a while since I’ve done any sort of giveaway.
You may remember my Monday Madness Giveaway back in May. or my Scavenger Hunt Giveaway back in 2010, or when I gave away some Pinterest invites when it was brand spankin’ new, or maybe when [...]
As an early birthday gift, Mark bought us tickets to see Jim Gaffigan tonight in the Twin Cities. And by early, I mean he bought them back in March.
Don’t know who Jim Gaffigan is? You’ve probably seen him.
Here’s one of my favorite bits of his.
… now that Summer has been officially over for a few days.
First up — early July. Mark and I went up to Stillwater to celebrate Mark’s brother, Nick’s, birthday. They were doing a downtown Stillwater bar hop.
First up, dinner at Nacho Mamas — an AMAZING Mexican restaurant and bar. Mark and [...]
Last month was crazy. Here is a sneak peek at things that happened before I get to blogging about them …
… Mark’s brother Nick’s birthday in Stillwater …
… Mark’s 25th birthday in Chicago …
… awesome new fabric …
Death Cab has a new album out and I discovered this song on The Current a bit ago. I was surprised to hear it was Death Cab because I’ve never really liked them.
Enjoy.

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
