Electric Blue Cruiser

Upon moving to the relatively flat, undoubtedly crunchy land of Denver, I knew I had to purchase a bike.

Everyone here seems to own two things: a dog and a bike.

So I purchased this baby.

A friend who refurbishes classic cruisers was kind enough to sell it to me for a very good price. It is a lovely thing to have on these cool fall days.

Another awesome thing: my bike matches Sean's! That's his on the bike rack above mine.

(This was not actually done on purpose.)

In closing, I shall leave you with the wise words of Queen that speak my thoughts so precisely...

"I want to ride my bicycle. I want to ride my bike."

Since There are No Major Updates

A few things I am enjoying right now:

Sean’s “new” 1987 Volvo! OK, so it may have some kinks to be worked out, but we’re happy to now have “George” in our lives.

This is not George. He is navy blue. This is just another of the same car. (Side note: Sean named the car >>insert smile)

Autumn!

Celebrating their one year wedding anniversary with my roommates. (Also, thank you Liz for my new blog banner picture!)
Necklaces from Forever 21. They’re fun and cheap. These may be my next purchase:

Cheeseman Park around 6pm. There will be about 30-50 dogs at any one time – all sizes, ages and breeds.

The fact that there is snow covering the mountain tops and it is still 75 degrees in Denver.

Denver is laid out in a grid. Unlike Boston whose roads were mapped by cows in the 1600s, they actually make sense.

Oh, and there are street signs everywhere! And they’re large and legible. Driving does not have to be a guess game.

www.vectorjungle.com Awesome clip art, but even better are the free backgrounds you can download. Check em out!

Happy Hour. It is an hour of happiness, everyday…what more could you want? Massachusetts really needs to get on board with this one.


One thing that perturbs me about Coloradoans: They all say heigTH. It is height. There is no “th.” Put a hard T on there, please.

Last Weekend Cont

It all began with a bike ride to a bar to meet friends where we partook in libations before heading to the Ogden Theater for an incredible concert. (Have I mentioned I live less than a mile from THREE sweet theaters?)

I saw Matt & Kim open for a band in Boston before anyone much knew who they were, but let me say, as the headliners and with 1.5 more years performing experience they truly outdid themselves this time around. Absolutely one of the most high energy, fun and engaging performances I have ever been a part of. And that’s how the audience felt—a part of the whole experience.

For a happy moment, listen to this one. It’s also their most well-known song.

So, all was going well and great until the return home when Sean went to get in his car and couldn’t find it. We walked the whole area, but sure enough, the ’91 desert tan Beamer was gone. Police were called. Report was filed. Tear were shed (on the inside). More on that later...

Saturday, Liz and I spent a relaxing afternoon on our sunny porch with one of our last summer cocktails.

I proceeded to kick her butt in Scrabble then we headed off with some new friends to the Glendale Raptors vs. Denver Highlanders rugby game. I always knew rugby was rough, but oh man…it’s rough.

Sat night was spent curled up on the couch with the whole apartment. (I had to get up to take the picture).

For a run down of Sunday’s adventures, check out our day at Garden of the Gods on Liz’s blog (sometimes we share pictures and give each other blog shout outs. Ok, really I don’t own a camera and want to be fair about stealing all of her pictures. Plus her blog is fun, endearing, and worth a look) as well as my last post on mine and Sean’s trip up the mountains.

Ok, so back to the missing car. It’s stolen Friday night. No word or sign of it all weekend. Tuesday, 4:00am, Sean receives a phone call from the Denver Police Department.

“We have found your car. It is in Las Vegas.”

From that point on lots happens, but in summery: over the last 3 days the car was removed from the impound and sold. Time to find a new car. Anyone have a good/afforbale one for sale?
