Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Spring is in the air (maybe) and for many people that means it's time to start planning out your flower beds! The thought of plants showing off their shades of green and flowers displaying their magnificent petals makes me feel so excited. I love planning out what plants I want to plant where. When I…

Bread pre oven I couldn't help myself with an alliteration - botanicals, bread, and bingo - it was just too good to pass up. You're welcome. Yesterday revealed itself to be an overall pleasant day. I'm on steroids for a few days to help with my sensitive tooth (thanks new crown) and so my mood…
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 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…
