Yesterday was the Run the Republic stair climb in downtown Denver. The event happens ever year and is a benefit for the American Lung Association of Colorado. I've been wanting to do this event for years...since it was "Run the Register" (the Register is another cool building in downtown) and this year, I finally did … Continue reading Up, Up and AWAY!

Well what a week this has been for the ol' brain. Work and school both took it's toll on me and required far more than I thought I had to give to either. Fortunately, all of my classes continue to stimulate the brain which is something that I've been longing for for quite some time. … Continue reading Thinking thinking thinking…

Last night, during our Valentine’s dinner at the Hard Rock Café in downtown, Todd and I began talking about music, specifically, that which we think is important. We’ve longed discussed that we want our children (whenever they come into the picture) to be well-versed in as many genres of music as we can possibly expose … Continue reading Because it’s important, that’s why…

I used to be one of those people that was adamantly opposed to the notion of Valentines Day. Truth be told, I have no idea why. Probably because, for the longest time, I never really thought for myself and hating Valentines Day was somewhat of a trendy thing to do. Again, I have no idea … Continue reading All you need is love, love is all you need.

'Tis the time of year that love is (apparently) in the air. Valentines Day is upon us and I've nearly forgotten because I've had no time to "decorate" the house for the holiday...I have dish towels and candy bowls and stuff that I usually set out, but this year, it went by the way-side.

Martin. One of Todd's friends informed … Continue reading Stereotypes exist for a reason…

I'm feeling lighter today. Literally and figuratively.The Britney Mission is in full-swing, Jillian Michaels is making attempts to kill me and I'm finding myself eating more and more vegetarian meals as the days pass.I blew through the last barrier and am well on my way to breaking through the next one. I feel good in … Continue reading Weighing in…

So I got this new daily desk calendar the other day...I love calendar sales! Anyway, January 2 asked several questions, most of which are worth answering, so I thought I would.What makes me feel alive?Easy. Learning and traveling. I started classes again yesterday and only have one that's actually on-campus. My professor is engaging and … Continue reading Make it happen…

This morning. That's mine.I feel terrible. Awful. Probably even ashamed.I don't even know what I did. But this I do know. I can trust people less. And I should be trusted less.I don't know what happened. What I do know is that I was betrayed and I betrayed. Not intentionally. Apparently it isn't wise to … Continue reading What’s YOUR wanna-get-away moment??
