Adventures of a well-rounded geek
City Park As the weather continues to warm, you know it's highly likely you'll find me at one park or another throughout the state. We have so many, and they're all pretty great, that I enjoy making my way around a handful of them. Today I want to highlight my favorite Denver parks: Washington Park:…
I went on a walk today. The forecasted thunderstorm held off for me so I could wind my way around the nearby neighborhood and breathe deep the moist, spring air. The scent of the world smelled so satisfactory today that I sigh in contentment just thinking about it.... Ok, I had to get up to…
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…
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 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…
Today has been another lovely day. I started by eating french toast sticks, decided more of my clothes need to be donated, and I took my time watering my plants and re-potting a few of them. I got out the drill and used the biggest bit, 1/2", to drill holes into the plastic pots that…
Now that I have a temp job, a routine, and time has passed for me to heal some more, I'm starting to get into the swing of life again which means filling my calendar with all the things! I think perhaps this week I filled it a bit too much as I had and have…
Elisabeth's and my apartment is really coming together and I am loving it. Having a clean, beautiful space to come home to and chill in really helps and lifts my mood. The teal couch was a fantastic choice too, fyi. The both of us have done a really exceptional job of keeping our home clean…
