quiet xmas around here. kids aren't coming home. neighbours over for a visit christmas eve and we're on our own for dinner on xmas. the husband is a vegetarian, so i'm requesting he cooks a small game hen for me........and a huge amount of gravy and potatoes. he can cook all the vegetables he wants for himself.
gawd i miss turkey.
oh and call me nuts but i'm considering getting a dawg over the holidays. our husky/shepherd died last year. we had to put her down because of kidney disease. i think i'm ready for another dog. it's been over a year and a half. i'm currently looking at rescues. it's really hard though, keiko was the ultimate dog. great disposition, calm, good energy on hikes. she was one of a kind.

Dogs love turkey. Get one, and you can justify the other.

It sounds like a good fit to me because it claims to have a lot of the company culture that I loved about my current company before the new CEO started ruining everything. It would be really nice to actually like what I am designing, and like actually being at work :P A move to Boulder would require lots of new furniture, wouldn't you think? I see what you did there

Working today, but hitting Shelf Road Fri & Sat with Meaghan. Colorado's banana belt, supposed to be 60 degrees and no wind.
I have very limited experience on limestone, so I'm willing to clip bolts for a taste of new stone.

Shelf is nice. I like climbing there. Definitely has a Rumney feel to it without the cigs and radios, or at least the times I've been there. not sure what the rattler situation is like in january (considering the continued warm temps) but be extra careful. They apparently have a reputation for biting you in the back of the leg as you step over a rock or log or something. Not being silly here - I almost stepped on one a few years ago. It's a real issue to be aware of at Shelf.
The approach to most places is super easy, too.

actually, it's one of my favorite stories of taking a dump outside. After having almost stepped on a rattler, I walked VERRRRRYYY carefully to a new spot and prayed that I wouldn't get my balls bit.
true story.

Happy gnu year everyone.
Back and currently procrastinating. Had a wirlwind trip that started before Christmas with a 5 day backpacking trip that included some climbing, soaking in hot springs, and the chance upon a herd of Bighorn sheep. It was a tiresome trip, but nothing that compared to spending the next week with the GF's family. We did all the Russian things and then some. Got out hiking every day. The weather wasn't too bad either.
Stayed up for gnu years and then napped a bit before heading home, but not before stopping at various wineries on the way down. So, here it is and I am slacking off from work now....
Went in this morning to find that they truly fixed the ACs at work. After doing a bit of training, and catching up on email I decided to come home and finish the day. Can't seem to get motivated to actually do anything at the moment. So I'm sitting here posting on the internet and debating a nap.
May cave in and let the nap win!

nurp.
Unless you are moving to where all of your guests live. Then it becomes awkward when you tell them all that they need to get refunds on their hotel deposits and refunds/vouchers for their airfare. Also, rebooking your venue, minister, and the added expense of flying your photog out to you.
Else, carry on, get the hotel room and party it out in SD for the weeding!

I'm about to get my ass handed to me in a week. I've been SUPER lazy the past few weeks. Not a lot of clients nor work in general. I started a work-from-home social media job on an art site a couple of weeks ago and next week start teaching an intensive english class. combined with my private classes I'm looking at my first regular 50-hour weeks in three years...off the couch!
This also doesn't exclude the work I'm going to need to do now that my project is funded, too. When it rains...
