Adventures of a well-rounded geek
I wandered a pretty neighborhood yesterday with my friend, Meseret, since she's sticking around Denver for a while. We walked in the cool evening as the sun set and lit up the clouds in a most spectacular way. I imagine that a good part of yesterday's beautiful sunset was due to the persistent fires across…
Yesterday started off with Shari coming over to make breakfast with me and Elisabeth. Elisabeth, if you didn't know, makes her own homemade chai. It's pretty awesome, not only the fact that she makes her own, but she makes it well and it tastes good. I've actually had a couple of sips. She told Shari…
The colder weather may finally be here. I know I said I was ready for it last month, but I'm maybe not quite as ready as I thought I was. With the colder weather comes a colder apartment, which means my fingers are cold and I don't love cold fingers. I have a rice sock…
I started this post two days ago but just haven't had the time to finish it or post it, so, third time's a charm. Here we go! Pippin spent all day at the vet's on Thursday so he could have his teeth cleaned and 7 teeth removed. I had taken him to the vet for…
Yesterday, Elisabeth, Shari, and I completed The Lost Book of Astrid Lee scavenger hunt. ... Well, okay, technically, we completed it last week, but we didn't know that because the end was lackluster and not clear. I appreciate all the time and effort that went into creating this event and I enjoyed it and really…
On Wednesday, I went over to Shari's place to make dinner. She had found a vegan alfredo sauce recipe she wanted to try and you know I was game for it since the one "afredo" recipe Elisabeth and I had made was not worth making again (it was a hummus base and just came out…
After taking a walk during my lunch break I picked up a package and checked the mail because I realized neither Elisabeth nor I had gotten the mail in at least a week. I forget about the mail all the time. But I'm glad I didn't forget today because what was waiting for me? A…
Yesterday evening, Elisabeth and I met up with Shari to go on the hunt for our next location within the Astrid Lee scavenger hunt. We made our way downtown to watch the art light show that happens at the D&F Tower, the clocktower off of 16th street. We saw a variety of neat graphics by…
Elisabeth surprised me with flowers on Wednesday! She went off to Costco since it was her day off from work and came home with a bouquet of flowers just for me (and a whole bag of walnuts plus some other stuff, I mean, it's Costco, can't just get one thing there). How lovely is that?…
I had another pleasant weekend. Shari and I made brunch together on Saturday - banana muffins and tofu scrambled "eggs". She also brought over homemade blueberry lemon muffins she had baked the previous day. It was kind of a breakfast feast and it was all delicious. I had never made tofu scrambled eggs before so…
