More Snow for Emma

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

Another lowland snow for us thanks to the La Nina pattern this winter. It was brief, but pretty heavy. We got a bit over an inch over the course of a couple hours this morning from the convergence zone storm, but we already have clear skies. Emma ...

Saturday, December 25th, 2010

I joined a secret santa this year with a group of bloggers who own corgis. My secret santa was D Ruiz, and my draw was Jenna Z.. D Ruiz sent me a great pair of corgi socks to add to my collection :-D

Snugglebug Emma

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

She insisted on getting on the pillow between me and the couch arm, even though I'd been leaning there, and then she wrapped herself around my shoulder got all snuggly. She almost looks like she's trying to read my computer screen :-)

Another Weight Loss Goal Met

Broncos Socks

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Last year for Christmas my folks got me some spiffy Broncos socks that I often wear on game days. In honor of Monday night football and the fact that my Broncos are actually sorta playing for at least these first few minutes, I'm posting them :-D ...

Bob’s Burgers and Brew and Gelato’icous Desserts

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

A couple restaurant reviews today from today's adventure outside the house :-P First, we tried out Bob's Burgers and Brew for lunch. They just opened a location on Everett Mall Way, and we were curious. There are a few other locations throughout Washington, mostly north. ...

Penguin Slipper Socks

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

After a long day at work followed by a trip to a zoo-like grocery store thanks to the rush hour timing, I needed a pick-me-up, and these adorable slipper socks were right in my path on the way to the check-out line. They're not my planned November socks, but ...
