Welcome our “new” 1976 Ford Bronco!!!
Luke I am your fathahh…
This little Sunflower, from our wedding last weekend, still has his head held high
Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don’t really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone
New names and numbers that I don’t know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We’re young enough to say
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don’t know
Where I’ve been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado
Sometimes there’s airplanes I can’ t jump out
Sometimes there’s bullshit that don’t work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about
When you’re happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
A good good life Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I’ll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I’m taking a mental picture of you now
‘Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don’t know
Where I’ve been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado
Sometimes there’s airplanes I can’ t jump out
Sometimes there’s bullshit that don’t work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e

Hey, did you know the end of the world is tomorrow? I know, it totally snuck up on me too. Sigh, there are so many things I wanted to accomplish before I burn in hell. But alas there is just not enough time. I probably will not be able to see the pyramids, sky dive in New Zealand, or make out with Sean Connery; but there are a few things I think I can manage to accomplish, Not in any particular order.
- Donate everything I own to Good Will. Who needs it anyway, where Im going it will all be useless anyway right?
- Buy the oldest, most expensive bottle of Scotch I can find, and drink it from a giant goblet.
- Shave my head. I’m tired of my hair anyway, and wouldn’t it feel so freeing?
- Go to Farrell’s and eat a “Zoo” all by myself.
- Personally go to the houses of mean people I know and poop on their lawns.
- Free all the animals from the kennels around town, oh and the zoo too. I wish I could free the lobsters from those awful restaurants but the ocean is a really long drive and I don’t have that much time. Sorry lobsters!
- Ride my bike in my pajamas.
- Set my work computer on fire and roast weenies over it.
- Sing the theme from Titanic at Karaoke night
- Try drugs
- Call Oprah and tell her my deepest darkest secrets
- Decorate my house for Christmas…circa 1960.
- Get married by Elvis in Vegas.
- Gather a dozen squirrels in my back yard, and set my dog free
- Organize and choreograph a flash mob to be performed in line for Judgment.
So, I think that should keep me busy for a few hours before the earthquake. Happy end of the World everyone! And remember… What would Jesus Do?

I cant stop giggling. Just read this post on Hyperbole and a Half and I almost peed myself. Its one of those dog parent stories that I can totaly relate to, being the dog mommy I am.
Cody has psychosis over every thing, mostly his toys. A couple of Christmases ago his Grandparents gave him a big motarized Hedgehog. It was so cute when you turned it on it would jiggle all over the floor. It didnt last more than a week until Cody tore the outside of the Hedgehog off and got to the plastic battery powered jiggly ball inside. I had to take it away from him, But I soon reintroduced him to his older tinier stuffed hedgehog that weve had forever. He loved that little hedgehog. One day I got the bright idea to take the skin from Larger Newer off limits Hedgehog (sans insides) and stuff tiny Hedgehog inside of it. Cody was excited to get Big Hedgehog back and soon remembered how fun it was to tear its fur off. When he discovered that tiny Hedgehog was inside his poor little brain could not process it! He went insane, Im not kidding you, he literally went insane. It was like his brain had been replaced with the motarized Jiggly ball he tore up. He was whining, pawing, barking, going in circles, laying down standing up, sniffing tiny Hedgehog as if he had just been born. He started twisting his head at us like we were the most evil parents ever! Not a funny trick mom and dad! It was hilarious to us of course, but Cody wasnt having it and proceeded to take tiny Hedgehog away to save him from our evil ways.
So today I was reminded of Codys Hedgehog psychosis when I read this: I have included a tiny snippet below with illustrations

Dear Peter,
Thankyou for the surprise inspection and invitation to participate in the next. I appreciate you underlining the text at the bottom of the page which I would otherwise have surely mistaken for part of the natural pattern in the paper. I was going to clean the apartment but had so many things on my ‘to do’ list that I decided to treat them all equally and draw pictures of sharks instead. I have attached one for your honest appraisal.

I recommed you take this matter more seriously. You were sent notice of the inspection as part of our normal procedure. In addition to the cleaning, the light fitting in the lounge room is broken and the apartment smells of smoke.

The light fitting was the victim of a toy lightsabre being swung in a space too small to do the same with a cat. I dodged a leaping double handed overhead attack and the fitting, being fitted, didn’t. I will grab a matching replacement $12 fitting from IKEA the next time I require a tiny ironing board or glass tea light.
The smell you mistook for cigarette smoke was probably just from the fog machine. Each Tuesday I hold a disco in my bedroom with strobe lighting and special guest. As my wardrobe door has a large mirror on it, it looks like someone is dancing with you. I once dressed as a lady and it was almost exactly what I imagine dancing with a real lady would be like. Unfortunately, I kept worrying about falling, hitting my head and being found dressed that way so she left after only a few dances and a brief kiss. You should come one night, it will be a dance spectacular. I imagine you are probably a good dancer because you are small and the smallest member of the Rocksteady Crew was definitely the best one.

I do not appreciate being called small and being sent stupid drawings of me being eaten by a shark. The apartment is to be cleaned and reinspected in two weeks time. You cant have a fog machine or anything like that at the apartment in case the smoke damages the walls.

I apologise for mentioning your smallness. It must be a subject most people you know avoid. Was it the Rocksteady Crew comment or the fact that the shark was actually very small in the picture, making you, in comparison, the size of a very small fish? I have attached a revised version which you can print out, pin to your cubicle wall, look at whenever you are feeling down and think “That Volkswagen looks way too small for me to get into, I must be huge.”

Do not send me anymore drawings. I am not joking. I am keeping a record of everything you send just so you know. If the apartment is not clean when we reinspect in two weeks time, we will consider terminating the lease as we have also had ongoing noise complaints regarding the premises.

Yes, I find loud music helps me relax while I clean as the music distracts me so much that I stop cleaning. Which is relaxing. I will probably get onto it this week though as I do not wish to be evicted. I have developed a severe case of agoraphobia and residing in an apartment where I can reach all four walls while standing in the one spot brings me a feeling of security and the daily culling of plague proportion cockroaches gives me something to do in my spare time. I class the eighteen cans of surface spray I use per week as sporting equipment.
I purchased one of those electronic things that plugs into the wall which is meant to scare cockroaches by sending a pulse through the apartment wiring but while it has reduced the numbers, it seems others have evolved to feed off the electrical signal, increasing their size. I am using one as a coffee table in the lounge and two smaller ones as side tables in the bedroom. They would probably be susceptible to carbon monoxide poisoning though so I will try running a hose pipe from my car exhaust to the apartment, closing the windows and leaving the vehicle running overnight. It is apparently an odourless gas so should not prove an issue for my son’s cub group sleepover. Also, I read somewhere once that cockroaches can survive a nuclear attack so I have been collecting the dead ones and intend to glue several thousand to the walls thereby ensuring my survival should Cyberdyne Systems become self aware between now and when the lease runs out.

so…you might have guessed it from the title…I’m sick. Some sort of gross sore throat thing that causes me to ooze snot. Have you ever wondered, where does all this crap come from? Its like there’s a little snot factory up inside my head. Ill bet there’s a giant green slimy alien up there running things. The Big Bogey.I think Ive gone off my rocker.
Being sick is really gross by the way. I’m sitting here with no makeup on, sweats, and I have yuck oozing from my face. I’m surprised Chris sticks around in these situations. He engaged to the snot factory girl. How charming. And to top it off Im grumpy and bossy. What more could a man want in a girl? Im quite a catch. Oh and I have a strange bumpy rash all up my back. Pretty.
Obviously I’m a little loopy right now…my brain is floating somewhere, lost inside my head. Hopefully by tomorrow morning it will have sailed back into place. Havent gotten anything accomplished today, other than some minor updating to our wedding website. Im bored out of my mind. Didnt even get out of bed until 3PM today.
Stupid germs.
Osama Bin Laden is finally dead. Its almost been 10 years, can you believe it?
WASHINGTON — Osama bin Laden, the Saudi extremist whose al-Qaida terrorist organization killed more than 3,000 people in coordinated attacks on the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, is dead following a military operation in Pakistan and the U.S. has recovered his body, U.S. President Barack Obama announced Sunday night.
“Justice has been done,” the president declared as crowds formed outside the White House to celebrate, singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “We Are the Champions,” NBC News reported.
Obama said bin Laden, whom he called a terrorist “responsible for the murder of thousands of American men, women and children,” was killed in Pakistan earlier in the day after a firefight in an operation that was based on U.S. intelligence.
Officials long believed that bin Laden, the most wanted man in the world, was hiding a mountainous region along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
It is a major accomplishment for Obama and his national security team, having fulfilled the goal once voiced by Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, to bring to justice the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Obama declared that “the death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s struggle to defeat al-Qaida,” he stressed that the effort continues.
“We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad,” he said, while emphasizing that “the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam.”
Took a little spring bike ride with my Fiance. Its still so new to say! (and so fancy)
The spring flowers are popping up everywhere, the Cherry Blossom trees are in bloom (and they smell AMAZING)
By the way…I thought SURE! nooo problem, just a “bike ride” Seriously people, I was almost not able to walk around the grocery store right after. It was hard! And we didnt even go up hill more than ten times…okay so maybe its just me being out of shape. But really? The last time I stood up on a bike to pedal up a hill was probably in the 80′s. Gah. Im old.
In any case it was FUN! Go…get outside..go be in nature! Even if it IS on a man made trail ;)

So sad to hear of the passing of Elizabeth Taylor today! I just read an article in Vanity Fair about her life time love affair with Richard Burton. She was so beautiful, probably the most beautiful actress of her time. She had the most amazing Violet colored eyes! My favorite movie of hers definitely has to be Father of the Bride…We will miss you Liz!

Had a great time this weekend with a couple of our greatest friends ever!
Keep track of our plans on the Tab above called “Our Wedding Website”
I am getting so excited! Lots of wedding planning happening these days. We have finalized a lot, although there is still a lot to do. We have the date set, the ceremony site, the reception site and the guest list done. Now we just need to get all the little things in order, and boy there are a lot of them! Last night I think I found the florist and the bakery…not that we had a ton to choose from as Crested Butte is pretty small, but judging from their websites they look really great. We’ve opted for cupcakes instead of the traditional wedding cake, I cant wait to go for a tasting! All that’s left is finding the caterer, figuring out the table décor, and the save the dates and invitations. The little things will come together as I work on them. I created this website on theknot.com for our details.

Went with Julia and Tex to see Cold War Kids tonight at the Ogden Theater, and I have to say…they were great live! Their opening band was called A Lull. seriously…go download them. I loved them, almost as much as I liked the headliner…OK maybe even more…they reminded me a little bit of Linkin Park…at least the melody and the drums.
I also discovered something about myself…no matter the band,no matter the music…I am always going to be the girl in the crowd who is dancing around like a crazy person :)
PS…if you live in Denver you MUST visit Steubens…its comfort food for adults. The ambiance is retro 60s and I think they remodeled an old garage to create this fabulous place.Remember this: The Fried Chicken dinner is to die for…although I secretly wanted the mac and cheese! They have the best Grilled Cheese Sandwich ever…just like mom used to make. I started salivating at about 3 in the afternoon when we decided to meet at Steubens, LOVES!
