Adventures of a well-rounded geek
We drove back home from Moab on Friday but not before we stopped at Jailhouse Cafe to eat breakfast. I had seen they had ginger pancakes and thought Gene might want to try them. Plus, it was yet another restaurant less than a block away from our motel. So we got up and were early…
On our second full day in Moab, Gene and I went on a river rafting trip. I had never been before and Gene had only gone as a child so we figured we should give it a go. We hopped on a bus with 80 other rafters and drove 45 minutes, through the scenic route…
We got up early our second day in Moab and headed straight to Arches National Park so we could hike to the Delicate Arch. It was a good choice for us to go early because it meant we beat the crowds, beat the heat, and we got into the park free yet again because we…
Gene putting together my shelf Gene found a good deal on a corner wall shelf the other day that I snatched up in hopes that in the near future it would hold houseplants and homemade art. It's smaller than I imagined so I will be limited in what plants and items sit on it, but…
Gene and I celebrated 10 years of being together! I don't think I'm really registering how much time that is, except for the fact that it's one third of my life. Holy moly. Last night we went to The Melting Pot and what a lovely evening. I quite enjoy the place but the company was…
Gene and I went on a date to Ocean Prime last night. A high end restaurant, neither of us had been but I had a gift card from a year ago so we figured we better get to using it. It was an absolutely lovely evening. Gene even surprised me by wearing one of my…
I framed one of my DINK art pieces Yesterday I worked from home so someone would be there when Gene's new phone was delivered! His now old phone has been cracked for at least a year, maybe longer, and it finally got bad enough that Gene decided he should start looking for a new one.…
Yesterday evening I went to my comic meetup where we discussed Animosity, a comic about animals suddenly gaining consciousness. I liked the story previously but the discussion was so deep and enjoyable that it made me appreciate the comic even more. The author and artist of this comic do great jobs at conveying an entire…
Chicken and waffles Inspired by EG's dinner from last Sunday, the housemates and I made chicken nuggets and waffles for our dinner yesterday. What are Friday nights for, right? It was quite tasty, especially since the chicken nuggets were shaped like dinosaurs. Dinosaur chicken nuggets make everything taste better, did you know that they spark…
Roses Yesterday was admin appreciation day, so how did I appreciate myself? I left work early as a treat and sat outside in my backyard and read. (And pulled some weeds, but I enjoyed that too.) It was absolutely lovely and peaceful and relaxing and I must do it more often. Succulent planter My team…
