Something that prevents me from posting — and this is stupid — is not having a photograph to add. I’m just a little bit too lazy to do photo editing and truthfully there isn’t much to display at the moment.
April has been good and quite honestly gorgeous in Colorado.
After Easter with my mom, I saw my father the very next weekend. He came to stay with me and then we went to the Rockies game on Sunday. We had great seats, great weather, and a great win by the Rockies. Spending time with my family is such a joy. I love them so much.
As April winds down though, I’m saddened that I won’t be out in California to attend my friend Jay’s wedding. I had been planning on going all along, but when I took a look at my finances, I just couldn’t make it happen. It was tempting to break out the credit card, which is essentially locked up. I’m making good progress on getting out of debt and so it would set me back. I’m living by a cash only philosophy as much as possible. So when I knew I wouldn’t be able to afford it, I opted out and sent them a very nice present instead. The best I could afford with cash. I hope they enjoy it, although I’m sure they’d enjoy having their friend there more. I guess that’s life and being responsible.
Life at home is serene. Time off is a blessing.
Shifting gears, to not be too serious….my newest obsession (there are always so many) is Keith Olbermann. I’ve loved Keith for years. If you know me, you know that I swing his way politically, so I enjoy his show every now and again. I know that he goes a bit too far sometimes, but I just find it adorable. Sickening, I know. Especially if you disagree with his views. I hear about people loving Beck or that other guy on Fox. What’s his name, the dark haired commentator? I find it awesome I can’t remember his name. Anyway — I get sick to my stomach when I hear people gush about those guys, so this is very hypocritical and I apologize if you feel sick now too, but I can’t help it. Turn away!
So what’s with the sudden love fest? He’s on twitter! And his posts make me so happy. I don’t know what it is. It’s not even that cool really, but I just dig it.
Random enough for you?
If it’s not, I could go on and on about my almost lesbian love for Rachel Maddow. So much that I love this Tumblr blog devoted to her. She’s adorable and so freaking smart. In an alternate universe I would legitimately fall for her. But, alas, in this world I just like boys. Shucks.
Finally, I picked a new (bright and busy) blog template. We’ll see how long I keep it. One day I’m going to really design my own. But today that seems hard.
And with that, I hope you all are well and I promise better blogging — even if I don’t have pictures.
