Thanksgiving

I returned to Tearah and Fred's place again this year for Thanksgiving. Here's a pic of the table, Tearah, her sister and friend (Fred and Rae were up getting turkey). There were a lot of mash potatoes, yum! We then played Scattegories and Pictionary while watching the Broncos win.

Proud Aunt!

Dean Michael was born today weighing in at 8lbs 1oz. I'm looking forward to meeting him at Christmas!







Dean's 1st day

Colorado Avalanche

I went to an Avs game tonight. They were playing the Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks scored 3 goals in the first period to Colorado's zero. Actually, Vancouver was skating and passing much better then Colorado so it was no surprise. Colorado finally scored two in the final period but were still behind by 4. As we were walking out in the last 2 minutes, I think the Avs were just getting really frustrated and an Avs guy started a fight in center ice. It was actually pretty funny; they got so into it they fell down. Here's a pic from my phone from our seats. We were down towards one of the goals - which was a great view for the 2 Avs goals.

Wicked

I saw Wicked at the Buell Theatre. It was very entertaining. I had tried to read the book but only got 100 pages into it and wasn't really enjoying it. The musical obviously wasn't as detailed as the book and tied nicely to the Wizard of Oz.

Halloween

I went to a Halloween party at Amy and Chris' house. Here's a picture of Amy (scary clown) and me in front of a spider web covered Hans Solo (the Hans Solo is a permanent fixture in their house).

Stuck in the snow

Haha!! This morning I pulled 30 ft out of my garage and got completely stuck. I ran back in the apt and put on my boots and then tried to shovel myself out. I somehow managed to get myself turned back around and out to a plowed road. At that point I thought I could make it to my aunt's house and her 4 wheel drive car for a ride to work. I got stuck trying to go down her neighborhood street. I shoveled once again but then really was stuck. Luckily a nice neighbor pushed my car out. I then went home and stayed put.

Snooze

Some co-workers and I took our manager out to breakfast for Boss' Day last Friday. We went to a place called Snooze. It's a very popular place on the weekends. The decor has a fun 50s feel. The homemade English muffin is delicious as well as the tomato gravy. I definitely want to go back and try more on the menu.

Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt

I attended a Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt concert with Joan, Ellen, Dave and Tony at the Macky Auditorium in Boulder. The review in the Denver Post covers it better then I could write. It was fun hearing Lyle on his own and in an informal environment.
