|
|
|
I celebrate the little details of every day in my Microposts. In this post I somewhat arbitrarily chose one micropost for each month of 2023.

Scandinavian Bounty: IKEA and LEGO
|
|
|
After walking with a friend around the vast Mall of America, popped into IKEA to return a lamp because it's not dimmable. After meatballs and mash, got lost in a labyrinth of merchandise, feeling oddly guilty for not purchasing a $1.49 Bolmen (toilet brush). Eventually found my way back to the light rail station via the LEGO Store.

The sun was shining, but the wind was biting, so four miles of my walk found me in the Minneapolis Skyways where I rediscovered gems like the lobby of the 1923 Medical Arts Building.

Posted 12 Months of Microposts: 2023. It’s the little details of each day I try to celebrate in my Microposts—our hobbies and interests, home life, physical activity, volunteering, and being with friends and family.

We take our time with the Christmas tree. We're old-fashioned like that, waiting until Twelfth Night to take it down. So today, we simply laid out the ornaments on a table. They'll slowly make their way onto the branches over the next couple of days.

Kicked off the decorating with LEGO gingerbread houses designed and built by Dwight. Decorating the tree can wait for another day.

Corn, Water, and Lime Shouldn’t Taste This Good!
|
|
|
Every Thursday I walk past a tortelleria. Sometimes I stop and watch the tortillas on a conveyor belt moving towards women who package the product. Today I walked in and purchased 36 for $4. The package was so hot, I could barely hold it. Back home, I enjoyed the freshest tortillas, ever.

Settled on black gooseneck lights for our climbing plants. As a prototype, ordered one light from IKEA which arrived today. It’s almost perfect, it’s almost invisible, but it’s not dimmable. The bulb can’t be swapped, so back it goes and the search continues.
