Sunshine and Lollipops

Trend setter is certainly not the phrase you would associate with myself BUT I would just like to show you a small little website titled "Morgan and Alex are getting MARRIED" a.k.a. Our wedding website with all the boring info.

This little page was set up probably around the 1st of the year.  Please take note of the song that is playing.

Now, let me direct you to a little ol' company called JCPenney.  This is their new April commerical.

April Broadcast Spot

Coincidence? I. think. not.

2011 part 1

Remember those billions zillion things I promised I did, but never uploaded pictures and/or talked about them? Well I DID do them, even if you think I was a liar face and was just at home playing solitaire against the cat.  I have picture proof and finally a break down of stuff-I-said-I-did-and-finally-sucked-it-up-and-did-a-lame-post. (Why all the -'s...I don't know. Don't judge.)

Enjoy.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

So a long, long time ago in a land called Golden, Alex and I did the Coors Brewery Tour.  It wasn't super exciting.  I actually would not recommend it. 

A lot of it looked like this.

They are not hiring.  I asked.

We were still learning the camera.  That is a Morgan outline.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Then one craaaaaazy day we decided to see what this Cheyenne, Wyoming business was all about.  It was definitely a small town.  We got a good walk on around the city.  I've never been to Lincoln, Kansas but this is what I imagine it to look like.

He was cute.

I love an old school movie theater!

These boots were all over town.  I also realized it said, "Do not touch" after the picture was taken.  I live on the edge.

Oh yes! The Cheyenne train station museum. Talk. About. A. Party.

Like I said... a party.

The Capitol of Wyoming!

I'm there too!

Why smile when you can pose like the statue?

Aaaaaaaand we're back!

I don't know why my arms have to be up in every picture.

The Wyoming sign on the other side of the freeway that I wanted to take a picture with but we zoomed by too fast.  This is the same thing, right?

 

The ride home.

Holy moly, I only got through the Coors Tour and Cheyenne.  Talk about random.  Plus, who wants to see eight months of pictures in one post?? That is no fun.  Part 2...tomorrow? (let's be honest..probably not)

The "Protest" Is Over!

Now I would like to say that my absence from the bloggisphere was merely a giant protest on PIPA and SOPA, but in reality is was my computer's protest against me saying that it is older than the Pope and wants to die.  What do I tell the computer that freaks out? Nothing. I let said computer rest for ... a month and a half then shove it in the face of the poor computer geeks at CU who thought it would be a 2 minute fix when in actuality it was over 2 hours of working on it.

Sooooooo what has been the haps around the Punchy? Lots. I've got pictures too, I think.  They won't be uploaded right now, because I'm going to let computer take a night time nap because I think he is starting to get sassy again.  The video of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon was clearer and more audible than what is coming out of dear ol' Dell at the moment.

Until tomorrow! (Hopefully)

Dear Oliver,

Don't piss me off.  I will do it.
Love,
Your mom

The necklace totally makes the outfit.

Rawr.

sick and twisted

So miserable!

Just around the riiivveeerrr beeend!

I *love* the wig.

to infinity and beyond

Not.Happy.

Hello Kitty!

Heeeereee's Johnny!

A few weeks (months? whatever.) back some friends came into town for the Great American Beer Fest.  We had a day or so before the fest-business, so we took a day trip up to Estes Park.  Three of the five of us went last year around the same time, but we decided to stop at the Stanley Hotel this time.  It was awesome.  Some aspects of it reminded me of the Hotel Del Coronado.  I really want to go back and go on the ghost tour! (I'm slightly obsessed with Ghost Hunters and they totally did an episode there.)  Oh yeah, and I still need to see The Shining. Yeah, yeah. I know it's a classic. 

The front. Duh.

View from the front steps.

If there is a firetruck, I will make him take a picture in front of it.

Dude was hand polishing the lobby floor.

Alex's beer was pretty cool. REDRUM!

Downtown Estes Park

No crap.  Would have been nice to know this last year.

Fire, Fire, House on Fire!

My friend/co-worker went home last night after a long shift to see that her house was on fire.  She said the Red Cross is helping her, her little girl, and her boyfriend out and putting them up in a hotel.  She had just moved in about two weeks ago, so I think she had probably just finished unpacking all the boxes and getting things all organized. 

 The house is destroyed, no one was hurt and they haven't determined the cause yet.  Here is a link to the story: http://www.dailycamera.com/news/ci_19373994

Just reminding everyone to be thankful this holiday season (and all seasons), don't leave candles lit, turn off your stoves and unplug lights on your Christmas trees.  And no...Alex wasn't working.  He is still the white cloud of the fire station.

Biggie's Back!

The following are reasons why I think my cat is the Notorious B.I.G. reincarnated.

#1 When I get home he is very chatty and I have no idea what he's saying.  Much like Biggie. "What is that?" Gonna blast squeeze first ask questions last, That's how most of these so-called gangsters pass  "Gangster..what? in Boulder?"
schooled me to the game, now I know my duty
"Your duty?? Schooled you to the game?"

#2 Biggie is from Brooklyn.  Oliver is from Boulder.  Both are suburbs of major music hubs.  New York is known for...all music.  Denver is known for The Sing Off's "Urban Method".  Obvi. connection.

C. I didn't know Mr. Biggie-Smalls-Wallace personally  but I imagine he got sassy when his food supply was on the low.  You can guess Mr. Oliver's 'tude when he gets on the hungry.

D.

 vs.

OR

 vs.

I think the similarities are just screaming.

E.  Coooome onn, if these aren't Biggie in cat form my world would be turned upside down.

No? Yeah? Not so much? I think I've put up a solid argument. I also may or may not have watched Notorious tonight.

Also, this video has been going around the internets.
