Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Today has been a busy and good day. Elisabeth and I went to the thrift store today to look for clothes and a napkin holder. I ended up finding a really lovely floral shirt kimono type thing, words are escaping me right now about what this is so I'll take a picture another time and…
What a great day I had on Monday. I got my hair cut at a salon in the Stanley Marketplace, which meant that I stopped by Glazed and Confused donuts on the way out. I got their Samoan donut. Honestly, I don't think they have the best donuts in Denver. They're a little dry and…
Orange pastry for Gene Yesterday ended up being another busy, but great day. I took Sidney to Tokyo Premium Bakery because I had already gone with Elisabeth AND with Gene so it was Sidney time. They didn't have the raspberry croissant I really wanted so a regular croissant had to do. It was a decent…
Pizza! Yesterday afternoon the housemates and I met up at Giordano's pizza for dinner. I had eaten there with my coworkers a few weeks ago and wanted everyone else to try their pizza. If we want to go again we'll have to figure out if there is a way to call ahead because the pizza…
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…
Nerd Nite last night was really fun. It started with dinner at Crush Pizza. While I enjoyed the company and the talk, I did not really enjoy the pizza. It was sold as deep dish but it wasn't really deep dish pizza (I've been to Chicago once, I know). It was basically regular pizza but…
Yesterday I went to Giordano's Pizza for lunch. My coworkers and I had been trying to go to lunch since January and we finally made it happen. I was thrilled to go, not only to hang out with cool people, but because it's a place that Gene and I didn't hit on our Pizza Day…
My entry back into the world of work wasn't too bad. Gene made mint milkshakes after dinner last night and we sipped them as we watched Star Trek. I'm not sure I could have ended my time off any better. Little bunny ratEven has a tail Then, I came into work this morning to find…
Let the pizza eating begin! For over 5 hours on Thursday, Gene and I wandered Denver eating slices of pizza. It was awesome. We only hit 5 places, out of the 15 places we had marked. Granted, we knew we wouldn't get to all 15 but I had thought we'd hit more than five. Alas,…
Crocus in my front yard - it's spring! Monday evening I found myself at Bonnie Brae Tavern for a vegan pizza buffet fundraiser. First time I'd ever been there and it was for this private event. I think I'll have to go back to try their regular fare. The restaurant is small but comfortable with…
