I Win

Slap a little paint on these beauties and you've got yourself four vintage chairs for the porch!

I Woke Up in a Car

Downsizing

This has been a theme in my life for a while now...so I decided to apply it to my purse (which was just getting out of hand).  We'll see how long it lasts...

I painted a $2 Goodwill purse following these instructions I'd pinned forever ago.  I hope it holds up, because I'm super happy with how it turned out!

True Dat

I feel like this says so much with so little.

Kira Sushi

Always with the umbrella drinks!

Finally opened it after at least five years of holding onto the black wrapping.

 2008 models were "new" when I got this thing...

Of course, it was a Mustang I didn't have!  It was meant to be...

Art Nouveau

I lugged my four cases of Hotwheels cars from the crawlspace and, having invested heavily in Hobby Lobby glassware, put them on display.

The short squatty one has my prized collection of Slug Bugs and Lincoln Continentals.  Two of my favorite cars of all time are pictured here:

 The tall one houses my entire collection of Ford Mustangs - by far the largest of the themes.

 And the largest container holds almost all the other cars.  I have about 20 that I just couldn't fit...

I think they look pretty amazing.  I plan to take them to work to display on my conference table...

But I wanted to wait until my Dad got to appreciate their epicness.  My favorite part in all these metal goodness?

I hid a note he'd included with one he'd mailed me years ago when I first moved to Denver.  You can't see it in the display now; but I know it's there.

How to dress!

So Soft

Definitely making something out of this...

Themed

Mike brought his heart dice PJ pants just for the occassion...

And I brought shoes!

An Easy Out

The whole point of going to Niwot was to make an easy getaway where we actually take it easy.  The problem with home days is that I always have projects or ideas or biz and it's difficult for me to just stop and be restful.  Today was that day...even if it was more biz than initially planned!

We ate lunch at the Cheese Emporium.  Not our first time there, but our first time for a meal!  It was amazing...

After that, we went to Serendipity and Target.  Then had a super relaxing afternoon back at the Inn! The grand staircase...

We ate dinner at Treppeda's for dinner and had THE best lasagna I have ever tasted (sans marinara)!
And looked good doin' it, too. :-)

Valentine's

A tour of the Niwot Inn (I told you!):

 Wine & cheese in the afternoon every day!

 Love this fireplace...

 Prom pose before dinner at Colterra!

I'll spare you the myriad pictures of each course we took; needless to say it was a lovely Valentine's Day meal!

My Old Fave Airport

This bridge always caused mixed feelings...upon arrival it meant a week of work.  Upon departure, home.

 At lunch here all the time...

 And enjoyed this art installation!

Go Mustangs!

Boise State - finally I see the field!

BOI

I am traveling to Boise for our very last Fusion in '14 Sales Rally.  It's been almost five years since I ended my three year stint in that zone, and so much of it feels so familiar, and yet so different.  The HGI that became my home away from home is under construction.  The upper floors are complete, new hallways and carpet:

But this is how I always remember it:
