Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Poppies at the Botanic Gardens Sidney and I went to a bee class at the Botanic Gardens on Saturday. I learned there are 20,000 species of bees, almost 1,000 of which live in Colorado. There are more bee species than plant species, how mind blowing is that?! A few specific species were highlighted in the…
Besides DINK, I got a few other things done this weekend. Gene and I played more Satisfactory where we made our base even more of a maze than it already was and where we explored more of the world and found mushroom trees. I had a lot of fun exploring with Gene and am now…
Beautiful paper crane art at the school Today I volunteered at a school for a few hours because both their secretaries were out. I really like the principal of this school so I was excited to be able to see her so it made my day when she gave me a big hug as soon…
I got MLK day off yesterday so I spent it finishing up my cross stitch, doing all the chores, working on some creative tasks for myself, and watching Jumanji and Critical Role with Elisabeth. The new Jumanji movie was so much fun. I remember enjoying the original movie when I was a child, so I…
On Saturday, I went to a cross stitch "class" that one of my local libraries was hosting. A few months ago I decided I wanted to try out cross stitching as an adult. I got an awesome cross stitch pattern from my parents for Christmas but then realized, "This is a huge pattern and I…
Yesterday I made some art, played Pandemic Legacy, and ordered Book of Mormon tickets! Using a postcard, sticker, and polaroids from the Grand Lake trip, I put together a little art piece to hang on the wall. Although the background doesn’t look as bright as I thought it would, I like it. I can always…
Yesterday the girls and I went to visit Kaitlin, Kevin, and EG as we are borrowing their car for a few days while Lydia and Dave visit. We hung out for a bit which is great because I always love seeing those three. EG has grown even bigger since the last time I saw her…
I FINALLY finished my needle felted owl today. I have had this project for over a year and a half, maybe more. So when I had a TV watching marathon of Critical Role (a fun D&D show) I got out my little owl and made the finishing touches. Now I have to find a place for…
Sidney moved in with me and Gene last week after our trip to Washington! She flew back with us and has been here ever since. It's been pretty awesome. I'm already improving thanks to her. This past weekend the three of us biked to my work (which is downtown) (for the first time ever)! And…
Yesterday I took a sewing class and learned how to sew a tote bag. I had taken the plunge and signed up for it a couple weeks ago. I've been wanting to get into sewing and eventually learn to make my own clothes so I figured with my pay raise a couple months ago, now…
