I discovered who my meetup Secret Santa is! On Friday, those of us who participated in the Secret Santa hopped on a video call and opened the gifts we had secretly given one another. I had given my match, Mel, a kind of comfort gift box - fuzzy socks, lotion, soap, and a list of…
My Weekend
1-10-21 My weekend
This weekend was, overall, really fantastic. I didn't have any social obligations so Saturday morning I took my time. I painted my nails and I finally sewed my very own mask. Look at that cute heart mask. I ended up breaking my sewing machine needle while I was sewing this because I had so much…
12-23-20 My Weekend
This past weekend I went to Shari's parents' house with her to bake cookies. They have a yearly tradition of baking a gigantic amount of cookies that they then make into platters and give out to friends, family, and coworkers. When Shari told me that they make between 100 and 200 dozen cookies in a…
12-7-20 Christmasy weekend!
Christmas lights, baked goods, music, a Christmas tree, and movies filled my weekend. Shari and I went to the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield on Saturday evening where we wandered around the grounds looking at all the Christmas lights. Shari had never been to this botanic gardens before and I had never been for their holiday…
10-5-20 Astrid Lee – found?
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…
10-3-20
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…
9-23-20 Weekend in Grand Junction
I took a long weekend last weekend to go visit an old coworker, Brenda, in Grand Junction. She had moved over there last year, shortly after we both got laid off from our jobs. I was going to visit her back in the summer, but covid was rampant at the time and I didn't feel…
9-14-20 My weekend
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…
9-8-20 Long weekend
This weekend was quite lovely. First, you should know that Elisabeth, Shari, and I signed up to take part in a city-wide scavenger hunt put on by The History Colorado Center called The Lost Book of Astrid Lee. It's kind of weird, definitely a bit complicated, but overall fun. We get clues that we have…
8-10-20 Friends and vacation
Last week was something. Just a mix of emotions, really. My friend, Kayla, moved to Oregon. The day finally came when she packed the last of her belongings, put her plants and her cats in her car, and said goodbye. I don't know when I'll see her again in person. That thought is strange, it…
