Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Yesterday, the Squirrel Girl comics I ordered got delivered. Three days earlier than I was expecting! What a happy surprise. I only have two more volumes to purchase and then I'll have the full series. It still amazes me that I own comics, multiple volumes of comics. This is not how I saw my life…
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…
I'm really starting to feel like we're in summer. A few days ago a hummingbird stopped at both my hummingbird feeders for a nice refreshment. It took a couple of weeks and it's only this one little guy, but I love it. I only need one hummingbird to make my feeders worth it. Now if…
I saw some of my coworkers in person on Wednesday! One of my coworkers suggested that a group of us meet up and have a social distancing dinner one day and you know I was totally down for that. So we met in our building's parking lot, set up chairs six plus feet apart, and…
Welp, it's been two days since I planted everything and not surprisingly, I'm still loving all my green plant babies! I wake up and look over at the pothos on my bedside table and I smile. I'm so excited for the day when it starts to trail and I can have it climbing on the…
Today has been a plant heavy day. Before breakfast I transplanted some of my house plants that needed larger homes and gave my new calathea (that I got from the Botanic Gardens) a hand me down pot of its own. The calathea is doing quite well and is opening up its leaves to show off…
I surprised Kaitlin at her home on Thursday. She does so much and is so thoughtful and loving to others that I wanted to do something nice for her. I also wanted to see her because I love her so it wasn't 100% selfless but I'll take what I can get. Showing people that I…
What happened today? I always try to celebrate the little moments, especially now, but sometimes it's hard to come up with stuff. Not today though I don't think. Today I felt cute in my jean dress, cat tights, and converse. Cat tights for the win. I'm still working on wearing clothes that I feel good…
Well, I tried making vegan blondies last night, inspired by The Melting Pot fondue Elisabeth and I are getting this Friday (they have vegan chocolate and vegan cheese options!). I say "tried" because they aren't very good. As I told Elisabeth last night, "Vegan baking will NOT get the best of me!" I don't quite…
Last night I was in the baking mood so I made snickerdoodle cookies. They did not turn out soft and puffy like the recipe said but the taste was delicious and the recipe is promising. It was also just fun to make them and to be happy throughout the process. Elisabeth and I danced to…
