Don Juan

If only Mike would let me dress Keebs and Kona (and if only they didn't chew off anything with which I try to adorn them).  It'd be so funny!

I Will Possess Your Heart

This guy is always here when I come and leave during the day.  I can't find his nest, but there has to be one; he's always there, protecting something.

Gone to the Dogs

I'm beginning to think people are always at our house not for the human company, but to be graced with the presence of Kona and Keebler...
Ok, to be fair, half these dogs aren't mine.  But we've had so many dog friends over along with ours that Kona and Keebs are becoming regular entertainers (read: Butt Sniffers).  Awesome.

It's a Good Friday

After I'd purchased the iPad 2 in February, I waited a couple weeks to even open it as I purchased the case online.  Imagine how ticked I was the day after I opened it when the announcement of the New iPad came out, and would be available in a week...

To Best Buy's credit, they took it back no questions asked; but I was ready for a fight because the blue shirt guy told me it'd be another year!

After weeks of waiting for the new one, it FINALLY arrived today (which I also had off work)!  And it. Is. EPIC.  Totally worth the months of saving up my blow money!  I wanted to make sure it was extra protected, so I modified the size of these instructions and sewed myself a customer iPad case for my iPad case, which I finished just in time for its arrival!  I'm surprised how simple and enjoyable the process was.  But was most surprising was how awesome it turned out!
I'm going to fuse some embroidery from an old pair of warm ups that I love, but are too big.  Perf colors, and it'll add some durable decor.  I think I'll use my flight to Houston next week to handsew the leftover seems down to the padding...but I love this thing!

People bring me stuff

Seriously, almost to the point of being ridiculous.  I love it!

Yard Work

I heart perennials.  They make me feel like I know what I'm doing.
 STEVE!  He's actually blooming!
 Must've been all that yelling...
 Kona.  Such a stalker.

Off the Beaten Path

And on the sky path!  They just finished a sky path (I have no idea what the technical term for that is) across Colfax from Colorado Children's Hospital leading to heaven in a bread basket.  Panera Bread opened and I will now be there every Thursday.  Their Chicken Salad sandwich is insane.  Give me the current read (or New iPad come Friday), Thursday dinner, and sunshine and I am a happy camper.

The walk on pretty days is the perfect way to end the work day (one way) and begin the Gift Shop Girl shift (walking back) the next.  It's almost like I walk across the bridge one person, and walk back another.  All with the soundtrack of sunshine and traffic.

Also, if you haven't gotten a My Panera account, you really should.

Gourmet

I looked forward to stuffed Poblano pepers all day today; it's my current home-made meal obsession.  But what made it taste even better was the note I found on my way in from the garage...

I am a Car Lot Balloon

There are several (and by several I mean everyone) people in the office that humor me.  Today, we walked across the street in the beautiful 70 degree and sunny weather to order lunch at Mangia Bevi, took it to go, and walked to the the Samson Park sculpture garden to enjoy a sit-down outside lunch.   What a great lunch.  Happy Friday!

Colorado & Company

That look I have on me is "Don't screw this up, you're live.  Don't screw this up, you're live.  Don't screw this up, you're live.  Man, I have to pee."  It's a multi-faceted weird face.

I love the random child in the background...

Do It Yourself

My mom found this perf stacking tray set originally from Pottery Barn at Hospice Thrift.  A bit of liquid sandpaper, some paint (leftover from other projects), and a 2001 Atlas make for a good Sunday afternoon project.
I like.
