Bavarian Bakery near Nelson Road and Ken Pratt Blvd. in Longmont, Colorado. This place is *never* open yet is still in business. Taken April 28,2010, with TiltShift Generator app for iPhone. Confession: Sometimes I miss having a man around the house. Which is so LAME (lame!), as I consider myself a fairly liberal and empowered female who has: been at death’s door at the age of 13 (hello, Last Rites/Annointing of the Sick); at the age of 19 drove 1,200 miles by myself with only [...] News flash: I know some amazing women. This became clear to me in the middle of The Big D. Women who rallied around me, in favors big and small.

And while I still love my steak, cable TV shows, and Target [...]
Elks Sign, Downtown Longmont, Colorado. Photo taken April 18, 2010, with TiltShift Generator app for iPhone. In addition to lists, I also like signs. Their color, design, kitschyness, whatever. I just like ‘em. I will on occasion share them with you here. Today The Kid barricaded her bedroom door in an attempt to prevent me from taking her to her second swim lesson this summer. She had pressed herself, a chair, and some toys against the door and attempted to shut the door on my arm as I weaseled my way in. My usually agreeable, confident, [...] I swear I am not a clotheshorse or even trendy. I have way cooler friends who are, some of whom even remember important moments of life by what they or someone else was wearing (I love that). But I do scour thrift stores, consignment, secondhand, whatever you call it. One of the best compliments I [...]  |
