Oct 18 2009: One of those weekends…

Oct 18, 2009 by

You know you’ve had one of those weekends when you’ve run the dishes three times and yet there’s still dirty dishes piled up on Sunday night. The kind where you eat really comforting food with people that you care about and they all stay quiet for a moment and say mmmm under their breath. The kind where you tell lots of funny stories that start with “remember when…” The kind that has football, and clean towels out of the dryer, and too many cups of coffee just because you can. The kind of weekend where you feel like you’re coming off a busy week, month, season, and you can finally reset. Reset your routine and reset your expectations. And the kind of weekend when you make new plans, set new goals, and finish the night feeling rather satisfied. Not completely, of course, because there’s still so much to do, so much to worry about, and so much left to desire, but more satisfied than usual.

This was my weekend.

Oct 10 2009: First Snowy Day

Oct 10, 2009 by

Yep, it snowed today. Not a whole lot, but enough to postpone the Rockies game and it was really super cold. So I pretty much stayed inside with friends today. I got the crock pot out. Caught up on a lot of my favorite shows. And played an epic game of scrabble. It may not appear epic, because we’re not that smart and it took forever. But we scored about 600 points and used all of the letters.

I did quiet and zoo/or back-to-back, for like 75 points!

Oct 06 2009: The Catch Up

Oct 6, 2009 by

Every now and again I get together with some of my college friends. This night was scheduled long before my trip, and so I was happy to see that it was still on when I got back. I had to miss a couple of these get togethers this year, and I was very excited to see my friend Meredith, who is having a baby! So I met up with them at the Kona Grill. We had lots of appetizers and a couple of drinks. We had a great time. I was glad to see them.

Oct 04 2009: Happy Birthday Johnny!

Oct 4, 2009 by

Today was my sister’s boyfriend’s birthday. Johnny turned 22. I got the pleasure of hanging out with them. We went to see “The Invention of Lying” and then I took them out to lunch at Mimi’s. We had a really fun time. Those two really crack me up, so I spent most of the time laughing. It was a great day.

Now, I must confess, I’m still a little camera weary from using it so much in the past week. So the picture below is from a month ago. But it’s Johnny at Mimi’s, so I figured, I couldn’t do much better.

Today is also Brian’s birthday. I didn’t get a chance to talk to him, but I did yesterday and it was really pleasant.

Oct 03 2009: Witches and Ghosts

Oct 3, 2009 by

October is a great month. One of my absolute favorites. And since I had some special guests over, I thought I’d get their help making some Halloween decorations. We made some pumpkins and then a very scary ghost (it actually really scares me), and this kick ass witch. It reminded me of being little and when we used make decorations just like this. It was a fun day!
