Snowy on the outside, icy on the inside


Denver? It’s snowy, dontchaknow.

Driving to Denver over, say, CHRISTMAS, is… interesting. Also? Much less full of homeland “security”. Bonus points for that.

This is what most of our trip looked like:

Pretty, but cold. Very, very cold.

For those of you who always complain about the total dearth of pictures of yours truly, here’s not one, but TWO of the Booger and I freezing ourselves blue in front of a giant bear statue at the Natural History Museum in Denver (which is now called something else, but whatever):

and, last but not least, the ‘icy on the inside’ bit (no. don’t ask. and don’t tell me it’s on the wrong hand.)

And? Work just told me to go home, ‘cos it’s my birthday and my party is gettin’ started without me.

  3. I had a moment of confusion just now when I saw the time on my comment – you had me double checking my watch and computer time thinking that little nap I had went a bit longer than I thought!

    Has Bremerton broken free and drifted out to sea into some different time zone? It’s still well before midnight here in Olympia…(7:34 pm to be semi-exact).

    Well happy birthday, but you are not in THE database! Is it really your birthday or are you pulling a fast one on us?

    The ring – gorgeous!

    I am on to you IT types – you set the clocks forward so they would let you out of work sooner!

    Happy New Year! And uh, Happy Birthday!

  6. Happy Birthday!

    I have other friends who were driving in that snowstorm, I’m glad you made it through without any car gymnastics.

    I love your ring, too. You should knit something to match it.
