It has come to my attention, in recent months, that I am not a "winter" Colorado girl. Rather, I prefer the warm. I love when it's blazing hot in the city and 70-75F in the mountains. I love tooling about by Boulder Creek and going to Blackhawk for picnics and camping off of Hwy 285 … Continue reading Look out, Rocky Mountains!

I got an email earlier thanking me for auditioning for the Broncos and that if I am getting a call back, it either will have already happened or will happen today. So far, no calls.Maybe it's because I'm extremely tired and overworked right now, but I think I could cry over not getting a call … Continue reading Huh. Turns out, rejection still sucks.

This blog is dedicated to Laura, for forwarding me the info that I needed.As some (or most) of you may know, one of my goals in life is to sing the National Anthem at a major sporting event, preferably the Super Bowl, but I'll take anything.So when Laura texted me the other day some information … Continue reading Once Disney rejects you, you can take just about anything…

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!

Two of my very dear friends are a little happier this morning.And so am I…for them. It’s a good day.My co-worker, whom I will miss a lot after next week, is rocking out to Coldplay, Snow Patrol and Counting Crows. 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

I have decided that the worst part of a vacation, without a doubt, is not the coming back to work after it.It's the week (or in my case, month) before leaving that is the most torturous part.The last month, but two weeks specifically, at work have been absolutely horrifying. 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…
