So my life is now completely consumed by baby stuff... which kind of fun and funny at the same time.

As the big day get closer and closer there are a lot of things we are stressing out about... Will everything go as planned?  Will the baby be healthy?  What should we pack to bring the hospital?  Will I know when I go into labor?  What if I'm home alone when I do?  What if I'm at work?  What if we don't make to the hospital in time?  What are we going to ... << MORE >>

For those of you that I don't see on a regular basis or haven't notice the gigantic bump growing in my mid-section, I thought it's time to share the big news.

I'm going to be having a baby in roughly a month; my due date is April 3 though technically I am only 35 weeks along. It's been a huge life change but a very exciting one. Babies are something else though. The mere fact that my body was made to change like it has is amazing and extraordinary all in itself. Add ... << MORE >>

This past week my uncle's twelve year battle with cancer was concluding. He passed away on Wednesday evening with lots of family surrounding with love and prays. From children, parents and a wife, to brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces there he had plenty of support while he made his final journey from this world to the next.

My uncle is 54 years old and number four in a line of eleven siblings. At Thanksgiving he began not feeling well;  by Christmas he could hardly "hang out" with everyone. He spent New Years at ... << MORE >>

I cannot wait to shave off this beard. If any of you have stopped in our Saint Paul location on west 7th, you’ve seen it. And, at the end of this month, I finally get to shave off my Birkie Beard.

Last year, my girlfriend, Ingrid, and I signed up to take part in North America’s largest cross-country ski race: The American Birkebeiner. The Birkie – as it’s more commonly referred to as – is a 50km (33 mile), one-day, ski race across the rugged terrain of northern Wisconsin. Skiers from all over ... << MORE >>

So Friday evening I started having pain in my chest and a sore jaw. (Apparently common symptoms of a heart attack.)  After finishing my shift I went home... Only to call the Nurse Line to see what I should do about the weird combination of pain I was experiencing. Naturally they told me to call 911 and to take some aspirin... well I'm 25 and apparently do not believe in aspirin or calling 911; so I had my boyfriend drive me to the ER.

Our "wonderful" 6 hours visited involved, an EKG, X-Ray, ... << MORE >>

I have to be honest about the fact that blogs just don’t make sense to me. I don’t see my life as very interesting or someone who brags a lot so why read about me. Now being the owner I am obligated to come up with a blog so here we go. Some random happening and stuff… I am addicted to youtube.com and Netflick.com right now so please check them out. Youtube makes you laugh and you can find music you may have not listened to since high school so much fun. Netflick is just great if you are like me and seem to never have time for that kind of stuff. You don’t have to drive to get a movie one is always ready to go. Ugg’s the boots that are popular why???? Ugg’s in Minnesota just seem such a bad idea (not water proof) but I am sure dry cleaners love them. See AVATAR the movie in 3D just because it was so interesting to see how much technology has come in such a short period of time and it was truly a beautiful movie to watch especially on the big screen. Our mom Irene well she turned 65 and she said it’s really no big deal. She said that she is counting down the days this year till retirement because she wants a smaller work week to enjoy life more. Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

I hope everyone had a great holiday and very happy new year. Keep your eyes open for some new menu items coming out for 2010 and if you have any ideas please don’t hesitate to let me know at chris@chrisandrobs.com.

Don’t forget ketchup is for the fries

Happy New Year's!  Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday season. With New Year's every year I like to make a list of things I would like to do in the coming year; I avoid using the word "resolution" because I never keep them nor do I actually accomplish them, so this is my "New Year's Should Do List":

1. Don't collect junk
2. Actually use the gym membership I continue to pay for
3. Get more sleep
4. Finish my paintings
5. Play more ... << MORE >>
