This weekend I went to the pool on Saturday and Sunday (and Friday evening too, actually). Not only am I trying to get the most out of my rent, but I'm also trying to enjoy my life AND stay cool in these hotter summers we're getting. Shari has been such an encouragement for going to…
My Weekend
6-27-21 Dog Sitting & Weekend
Man it's been a while since I've picked up a dog's poop. I don't miss it. A cat is so much easier, Pippin goes into his litterbox whenever he wants. I don't have to take him outside to do his business. I appreciate that. Still, I enjoyed my time dog sitting for the past few…
6-13-21 Mountains, pool, friends, movie
Summer is in full swing here in Colorado. The gloomy days have finally passed, I think, which makes me feel both happy and sad. Happy because it means more sun and heat and those lovely puffy white clouds I adore. But also sad because it means hot nights and the apartment's AC is old and…
6-3-21 Memorial Day Weekend 2021
What a wonderful weekend I had. Saturday I met my friend, Meseret, at Thai Pot Cafe, a delicious Thai restaurant you would miss if you didn't know it was there. Thankfully, somehow she found it for us because, while they don't offer yellow curry (my go to), they had a fantastic cashew stir fry that…
5-10-21 Mother’s Day Weekend
I drove down to spend time with my family this weekend. I went down Saturday morning so Elisabeth wouldn't have to watch Pippin and to try to avoid traffic. I caught up with my parents for a couple of hours before Kaitlin brought over Emily and Ollie. We played for a bit where Emily gave…
5-3-21 A Pleasant Sunday
While yesterday wasn't as warm and sunny as Saturday was, I still enjoyed myself. I started the day by making another loaf of brioche. Third time's the charm, right? I used the bread flour that Shari's parents had given me and I even let the yeast rise a bit in a sugar and milk mixture.…
5-1-21 RiNo & Watercourse & Plants
I went on a walk today. 😉 This time I walked around the River North, or RiNo, district of Denver. It's where Shari used to live and it's notorious for its many street art pieces. I had never really walked around there so you know I was down for going (I'd also be down for…
4-26-21 My weekend
Waiting for vaccine shot #2! Friday afternoon, Shari and I got off work early, grabbed some Chick-fil-A, and headed over to Cheyenne to spend part of the weekend with her parents. I hadn't eaten Chick-fil-A in over a year, so eating their fresh french fries dipped in my favorite Polynesian sauce was divine. We went…
4-11-21 Celebrations, Gardens, and Jam
In honor of Shari and I dating for 6 months, we ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at the park on Thursday. I told Shari I would celebrate 6 months and then year marks after that. So we made ourselves some sandwiches and brought out some tasty onion chips and chopped strawberries and sat at…
4-4-21 Happy Easter
I spent the weekend at my family's again because life is short and vaccines are here. Plus, it was Easter and I remember feeling so sad that I couldn't be with my family last Easter. Not this year! We made breakfast burritos for breakfast on Saturday and then Kaitlin and the family came over and…
