Questionable Projects

A 9-inch plushie takes on American life

  • Mitted

    This weekend was kind of crazy because the girl had to work again, taking pictures of people winning pie contests and stuff at a festival, but the Quad Cities River Bandits were giving away oven mitts at the game on Satuday and I really wanted to go. She had only one hour to make me Read more

  • Sweetened

    So last week I was looking over the girl’s shoulder while she was reading her email, and she got this message from Amazon saying she would really like this cookbook. She hit delete, but I was like, Wait, that looked like a good book! So she undeleted it and we looked at it on Amazon. Read more

  • Recognized

    This weekend was another super exciting one. Instead of waiting for Saturday to go on an adventure, the girl took me to work with her on Friday so that we could go to Big Grove afterwards. I got to meet one of her coworkers when they went out on an assignment, and she was really Read more

  • Caught

    So in my last post I was telling you about my beach trip to Milwaukee and I ended it by going back to the hotel. But that was not the end of my trip. After we rested a little bit we went out for the biggest adventure of my life so far: a Milwaukee Brewers Read more

  • Transported

    The girl’s birthday was this weekend, and she said there were two things she needed to do to celebrate: go to Lake Michigan and eat fish and chips. Lake Michigan is 227 miles away from where we live, so we had to drive five hours to get there. We had to cross two state lines, Read more

  • Quad Citied

    Now I’ve turned an Iowa destination into a verb, how do you like that? Yesterday was absolutely wild. I visited two of the Quad Cities — the Iowa ones — and I think I saw more people in one afternoon than I’ve ever seen in my life. The girl’s friend came by in the morning, Read more

  • Gifted

    Yesterday was Memorial Day. After the girl got done taking pictures of flags and honor guards for her job, her friend picked us up and we took a walk to one of our favorite places — Big Grove Brewery. Our server, Anna, noticed me and asked about my work as a blogger. I shared my Read more

  • Celebrated

    This is me when I first wake up in the morning. Isn’t that funny? Here’s something else funny: the girl has hardly been home this week because she’s been working like mad and that has made her unhappy. But she really wanted me to have something new to wear for the weekend, so she tried Read more

  • Wowed

    This weekend I saw the second-longest river in North America — the Mississippi! I walked along it with the girl and her friend for about two miles. I saw a place where corn kernels and soybeans get loaded onto ships, and I saw tug boats pushing barges up and down the river. It was a Read more

  • Doughed

    What do donuts and soft pretzels have in common? Dough, I think. So I titled this post ‘doughed’ like it’s a verb, because yesterday I had a donut and a soft pretzel, and I think I invented a word. I went to Donutland again yesterday and the girl behind the counter recognized me even though Read more
