Our First Bolder Boulder + Memorial Day Weekend

BB 2010

Damn. We really know how to pack a weekend. I am absolutely exhausted!! Today Matt and I ran the Bolder Boulder. It’s a VERY big (3rd largest timed race in the world) very fun race. We hopped on a RTD bus this morning at around 6 AM and rode into Boulder. We had just enough [...]

Random Thoughts on Thursday

• I'm thinking about running the Bolder Boulder on Monday. I hesitate only because it's something of a mob scene, and also the $63 entry fee – not so bad on its own, but they just add up, especially with two of us running! But I wouldn't bother with the cheaper one. The tech T [...]

Digging, Watching, Reading

Monday Night at Our House

So our resident BOY had quite a night last night. We were getting his room cleaned up and his laundry put away when he tripped over Matt’s foot and took a little tumble. No crash, no fireworks, just a few tears. There weren’t many sound effects and he wasn’t even terribly loud with his crying. [...]

Birthday Boy

Around the House Part 2: Small Projects

garage storage

Matt had a stated goal that six months after our contractor finished (around Jan 15) that he wanted to have all of the follow-up projects done. It’s a seemingly easy task, but really a lot of work!! The #1 thing we needed to do was get our storage situation taken care of – our garage [...]
