Joe Who?

I'm a little bit ashamed to admit this, but the other night I had a dream about the Jonas Brothers. Joe Jonas, specifically.
The really strange thing about this is that #1-I've never heard a Jonas Brothers song in my life, and #2- I have NO idea which one is "Joe".

(There really is a Joe, right? I couldn't name them all if my life depended on it...)


Why is my subconcious pretending to be an 11 year old girl?!
Just for the record, I DO NOT love the Jonas Brothers. Ok? Ok.



(p.s. You can go here if you actually do love Joe.)

i want to freakin go home already!!

that's all.

ok, not really. But seriously, hasn't this day gone on long enough already?!

I was trying to be all cheerful and in a good mood today because we had a potluck and we got to wear jeans today (Go Nuggets!). But come on. Enough is enough!

This work day needs to be over and 4:30 is not coming fast enough.

on a more positive note:

how freakin adorable is he?!?!

lights out

We had a power outage at work about 45 minutes ago. Fun!! The sad part is that two years ago, they built a huge diesel generator for this exact situation, so we still had to (half) work. :(

But...it was still a little bit of excitement!
And now it's almost time to go home. hooray!

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

time for some margaritas

:)

it's all in my head

"pa-pa-pa poker face, pa-pa poker face"

I cannot get that line out of my head! I keep singing it in my head and doing robot arm dance moves...
I can't really tell for sure, but I think 99% of the words to that song are some form of "he can't see through my poker face", over and over. (Kind of like how "just dance" comprised 95% of her other song. With the remaining 5%, of course, being incomprehensible nonsense.)
I really hate that this song is so catchy and gets stuck in your head. Kind of like the National Anthem. Oh wait, maybe that's the song you're supposed to sing when another song is stuck in your head. I can't remember.
And now I have a hodgepodge of mixed-up lyrics and melodies in my head.
Dang it.

how I spent my weekend

This weekend, Steve and I channeled our inner-old people.

But first, on Friday night we had an 'adventure' down to Aurora. It wasn't as scary urban as I thought it would be, and we even had some amazing sushi in an authentic, hole-in-the-wall restaurant.

But the real reason we went down there was for this:

It's a vintage 1960's console stereo in perfect condition. The inside looks like this:

Trust me, it's really cool.

We got it from the cutest little old Native American man who had a tiny puppy and 50-year old pictures of him and his wife around the apartment. We talked for a few minutes and promised him that we would take good care of it.

Once we got it home and set up, something happened to the apartment. It was like we had suddently been transported to another time. The presence and the smell filled the room and made it feel like we were back in a simpler time.

We put on a Wes Montgomery album, turned out the lights and sat on the couch in the glow of the tube radio. We were listening to classic music, the way it had originally been heard. It was pretty neat.

It wasn't long before the lilt of the jazz guitar on the vintage record player lulled us to sleep.

The next day we woke up at the crack of dawn (see: old people) to go to garage sales. Yes, garage sales. Honestly, it is one of my favorite things to do and it makes me so happy that Steve shares my love for a good yard sale.

Six hours, eight dollars, and two arguments discussions later, we were home with our treasures. We didn't find much, and realized that garage sales in Colorado are much different than back home. People just don't know how to do them right here! But it was still fun.

Sunday included a few more garage sales, some good Mexican food at Jalisco, and resting at home.

It was a pretty good weekend. Coming back to work was not fun this morning and it is a typical Monday.

I can't wait to get back home, put on a record and be taken back in time as I fall asleep on the couch. :)

just because

you're welcome :)
