Hey guys - in light of some recent events, I'm going to stop this blog for the meantime. I will set up shop again at some point and will email y'all when that happens. Hope everyone is well!

Charleston / First Fourteener

Hi guys! Sorry for the delay! Been busy hanging out in Charleston and hiking mountains...

Chris and I went to Charleston in early August and had a blast. Went kayaking, did the downtown thing, had dinners with the fam and got to hang out with great friends! Thanks again Allison for letting us stay with you and John!!

Then, Chris took Homer and me to hike my first Fourteener (mountains that are higher than 14,000 feet). I thought I was going to die before we even reached the trailhead. However, Chris was very patient with me and coached me to the summit. It was such an awesome view and well worth it. I told Chris that I am open to another one, but just can't have as many cocktails the night before... Have a great week everyone!

My birthday post

It was my birthday yesterday and I took the day off. I love taking a vacation day in the middle of the week, it feels like it's your own private holiday. I didn't do anything too crazy, just lazed around and didn't have to worry about checking emails all day, got a pedi with Lindsay...

Followed by a rum and diet on the porch... (Morgan, I love all the cards you send me and the one with Mr. Morris smoking is still one of my favorites ever and wanted you to see I have it prominently displayed in my kitchen)

This was followed up by dinner at an awesome steakhouse that looks like a tiki bar on the outside... Bastien's where all of our steaks were go good!

And finally, a picture of Chris and me after dinner... (ladies, I was fully preparing to wear a cute summer dress but it was raining and like 50 degrees so that didn't really fly. Next time, I promise)

My weekend...

Hi! I'm back. We'll just see how long I can do this but will try to give it another shot...

Chris and I had an awesome weekend - and we really didn't do anything. We just hung out with the boys (Homer and Pickles that is), read out on the patio, hit the local bar for cocktails and went to the Rockies game yesterday. We had the $4 tickets so here's the view from the bleacher seats...

It was good times and hopefully a good introduction to my birthday week! Will keep you updated on that, I promise...

Well, I thought I could do this...

and by that, I mean, keep up the blog! I've had a really shitty past week and just couldn't post anything. Maybe I'm not meant to be a "blogger"... However, I will keep it up when I can so for those of you who check it every once in a while...keep checking! Hope everyone has a good week and talk to y'all later!

Cats in hats!

I needed to put a smile on my face this morning so what did I turn to? One of my favorite subjects: cats in hats!

I thought this was fitting since the new Harry Potter comes out this week...

My favorite:

Of course I tried to get a hat on Mr. M but was unsuccessful so I attempted to make Lady Chloe into a bumblebee...

But I can't leave Mr. Morris off this blog so here's his latest picture.

I like you so very much...

Gr-r-r. The fuse for my radio has been blown out for the past week and a half = NO radio while I'm driving (I can't even use my CD player). I bought replacement fuses but whenver I drive over a big bump, poof! the fuse blows out again. I'm hoping I have time tomorrow to get this looked at. Just for shits and giggles, try driving around with only other people's conversations at red lights and your own crazy thoughts to keep you company.

So, it's always the last thing I heard that gets stuck in my head for the duration of my drive. This morning, it was that commercial (Bassett Furniture) and it goes: I" like you so very much, so very much I want to wake you up. you'll make biscuits and I'll make tea and and this is Christy going cra-a-zy." Agh! Make it go away!

PS - I realize I might not have the words to the jingle right. I debated with myself for a good portion of Colorado Blvd if it was bisuits - or coffee...
