Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Brittany's birthday party = complete. With Elisabeth's help, I created quite a lovely charcuterie picnic spread yesterday evening, complete with a build your own peanut butter pickle sandwich station. Did anyone else know that was a thing? It's one of Brittany's favorite (and weirdest) combinations, so I had to offer it at the party. Turns…
Today has been a task oriented day. I have gotten some reading in though so it wasn't all go go go. Tomorrow I'm throwing Brittany a picnic birthday party so I had to get stuff for that. I decided I'm going to do a charcuterie spread for her bday dinner since fried cauliflower wings and…
Went into work again yesterday. My coworker, Cathy, worked in the office too so I felt more normal than I did when I was there last week. I also enjoyed myself more since I could chat with her. We took our breaks together and walked around outside where we ran into a total of 3…

My company gave everyone a half day on Friday so we could all have self care time. It was a lovely surprise and I spent the time cleaning and journaling. That's kind of self-care, right? If my home is clean I feel a lot more at peace. Regardless what I did with the time, I…

Yesterday morning I met up with Brittany at Parker's farmers' market. My purpose was two-fold: get myself some bread and pickled dilly beans and hang out with Brittany. I emailed The Bread Box a month or so ago and asked about their vegan options and when they responded with the long list of delicious sounding…
I spent most of the day at Kaitlin's yesterday in celebration of Ollie turning two years old. This child has been in the world for two years, gosh. I sat and watched him and Emily play together and it was such a joy to see his enthusiasm and excitement while eating pretend food. He made…
I'm very excited about the Denver Botanic Gardens, hence the blog title. How can I not be? Also, people have told me that cursing is a sign of intelligence because it shows you have an increased vocabulary. I don't know how true that is, although I imagine there's some truth to it, so everyone take…
Today was my chore and errand day of my staycation. I can't not have one of those days, you know? So I went to the dentist, the doctor, the pet store, Costco, and the emissions testing site. And then I vacuumed, did the dishes, reorganized my closet, and a few other odds and ends to…
