We bought a new car last night.New to us anyway.It's kind of a long story how we got it, but it's the exact car we've been wanting and we got a screaming deal on it!It's a 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i, dark grey metallic with black interior, manual transmission, and fully fully loaded...woo hoo!!! It's such … Continue reading I still hate winter driving…

One year ago today, we adopted our pups, Leo & Suki...and what a great year it's been! Road trips and hotel stays, garbage eating and hiking, treats, treats and more treats!We're so glad we adopted the little boogers and can't wait for many many more years with them!The weather was a little too crappy yesterday … Continue reading Happy birthday, puppies!

Saturday proved to be a rather miraculous day. Not only did it not snow (which I am ever so grateful for…not a fan of snow in the spring), but Todd and I were able to heavily de-clutter our “office” and get rid of / donate: 1 giant box of books 1 giant box of knick-knacky … Continue reading Clutter be gone!

She is the “cool mom”.I got coffee at the Bux this morning because coffee at … Continue reading Random thoughts for a Friday

I have some concerns about going to Japan. Not enough to make me not want to go, but they are concerns, nonetheless. First, I don’t know the language. Usually this doesn’t bother me, but the only other countries I’ve been to have been Spanish speaking, except France, but my mom (who is fluent) was there … Continue reading Reasons I’m nervous about going to Japan

It's been busy, demanding and and … Continue reading Shockingly, vacations CAN suck.

I think I'm going to go blonde.I haven't yet figured out what, exactly, inspired this. I have "virgin" hair, not yet touched by the likes of professional grade hair dyes...I've never even gotten highlights.But I think being a blonde might be a grand ol' time! Not like Playboy Bunny blonde...a platinum I am not. But … Continue reading Changes are coming…

Jillian Michaels is completely insane. And yet I contintue to inflict pain upon myself via her 30 Day Shred workout thing. I took about two weeks off from the madness to go to the actual gym and try my hand (feet?) at running.Ummm....my dog is snoring incredibly loudly right now. Hilarious.Surprisingly, between the working out … Continue reading Jillian is out of her mind.

I am a Britney Spears fan. I’ve been a fan since …Baby, One More Time. I own all the albums and the majority of them, I actually went to the store to buy. I am the most uncloseted Britney fan you will EVER meet. Guaranteed. The funny thing about celebrities is that, all too often, … Continue reading Salacious Tarts, UNITE!

Here I am, back in Boulder.Todd is at his Writer's Group in the back of the coffee shop and I'm studying (okay "studying") in the front.A glorious faux hippie and her two very cute kids just sat down to eat a quick brunch and are now on their way out. They left a massive trail … Continue reading Playing with hippies.
