I'm sitting here downing a delicious bottle of cider (Fox Barrel Blackberry Pear = new favorite EVER) after a very uneventful day off. We were going to grill up some burgers with our neighbors tonight, but one of them fell sick, so instead I made some Spaghetti alla Carbonara for Luke and I which OMG SO HEAVY. (But so good.) (BUT SO HEAVY ( Read more... )

It was -9° F. Today's high shall be -2. I state this only because I'm quite proud that I made it to work EARLY today when 65% of our office decided not to come in at all.

Pride!

Last night, we braved the ice and snow to attend a beer tasting and five-course dinner hosted by New Belgium at a restaurant down the street. I don't even like beer, but ( Read more... )

Ah, Saturday! The weather has been stunning these past couple of weekends. After sleeping away our Friday night, we made sure to catch an early breakfast with a good friend of ours in Denver. I am starting to treasure excuses to wake up early, what the hell? I just love being out and about here in the mornings ( Read more... )

So. Exhausted.

Luke and I really did try to have an exciting Friday night, but somewhere around 8PM we called it quits and went home. Both of us stayed up far too late this week, and now we're paying for it. Not even coffee is doing anything.

Bahhh (Sing Se - watching A:TLA now).

Why do I have to be allergic to cats? Why? I may be a dog person, but that doesn't mean I find it any easier to resist adorable little foster kittens when they come up to me meowing for attention. My throat closes up and my asthma gets triggered and I can't even breathe when I lie down and... you know. Dead from cute becomes literal in my case ( Read more... )

What I really wish I had photos of today was the random and spectacular drive I took up along the Flatirons from from Golden. A co-worker's car was in the shop and he needed a ride home, so I volunteered. I was pretty much speechless at the loveliness of his commute every morning and evening. And I thought I had it good ( Read more... )

Oh, weekday madness! Work is still driving me nutty but at least they've fixed our database. Now I can actually multi-task instead of banging my head on my desk while waiting for files to load with five people on hold ( Read more... )

There was a brief but awesome THUNDERSTORM last night that woke me up all giddy at 2AM. The air smelled wonderful. California, it's been way too long since you've gifted me with one of these! Now can you do it during the day, next time ( Read more... )

I love you, sleep.

And yet I curse you. 11:49PM?! I have things to do! Things! Important to my general welfare! I have no less than four books I'm in the middle of, all BEGGING me to pick them up, that I've only been able to sit down with intermittently. I have writing that needs to be WRITTEN, not pored over for a few minutes then shoved ( Read more... )
