The nearest one is six minutes down I-80, but I rarely shop there. I don't have the time to wander, which is why I like multi-purpose stores, like Target or Costco. I can buy dog food, waffles, cleats, and a cute t-shirt all in one place! Plus, coffee on the way out the door-ah, heavenly.Megan Coakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422558504606256516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-34143018040074000742012-04-09T06:49:51.399-06:002012-04-09T06:49:51.399-06:00As a native Minnesotan, I can’t argue with any of ...As a native Minnesotan, I can’t argue with any of that. However, some of us fled as soon as the opportunity arose.<br /><br />When I worked in Minneapolis, I had a coworker from one of the Carolinas. He pointed out that we laughed about dumb things all day. Well, yeah, the thermometer had never moved above freezing for a month, and laughing was better than crying.<br /><br />When I worked nights, it was thirty-five below for a week. The break at four in the morning was like the historic start of Le Mans, as everyone raced to warm up their cars so they’d function in the morning.<br /><br />Ever scraped an inch of ice off your windshield so you could drive home, peering through tiny holes, trying not to hit anything? I’m laughing right now.Darlene Underdahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862207573237585373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-32997755804237807522012-04-09T00:43:25.139-06:002012-04-09T00:43:25.139-06:00"And so, God sent them to the worst place of ..."And so, God sent them to the worst place of all."<br /><br />"Hell?"<br /><br />"Worse.

I hate getting lost in big malls.M. Dunhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00624479956106759407noreply@blogger.com
