On our way home we stopped by the other version of our houses (the much more expensive version) to see an updated closet option. alas the person manning the model had no idea what we were talking about. We had gotten this info from the builder, but couldn’t remember all the details. I had asked him at an HOA meeting about blowing out the wall and he said they had done that over at this version.

Current closet situation: 2 small closets, “his” and “hers”.
Obviously “hers” has more stuff in it and needs more of “his” space.
Solution: blow out the wall between, have it done via out of sight to look fabulous and allow “hers” to take over most of the space!
I love it!

Dad? Do you feel a trip out west coming on???

After that stop in we attempted to use technology (IPhone maps) and find a quicker way home than the way we knew…  It eventually worked out ok, only a couple turn arounds, and some new fun routes found! Love it!

We spent the afternoon having adult beverages in the sunshine on the roof and then watched movies – Wanted and Traitor. Wanted was awesome, Traitor,  not so much.

Sunday was supposed to be a day in the mountains using our ski pass that we paid too much for and haven’t used enough…  alas we learned that it was spring break the crowds were insane and the snow was crap… So – Denver here we come!

I spent the morning going over our tour books, and using AAA.com to make my trip tik, and just pawing over my maps. I LOVE MAPS! I drive hubby crazy that i like maps so much. I always want one of our current location on the wall and he just hates it! Must be something from my dad!

Eventually I had all 7 days planned out. 1800 miles. 28 hours of driving. 3 national parks, at a minimum. 4 states. I am so excited!

I left it up to hubby to decide how we would spend our time sunday outside.
A bike ride was decided. Luckily i have been doing spinning at least once a week, so hopping on the old 2 wheeler didn’t kill me!
We had a great ride – about 14 miles. Not bad for us!

We rode down the bike path close to our house, through some parks, past Six Flags, invesco field, the aquarium and more. It’s great how many bike paths there are in denver!
I of course forgot the sun block on my arms… sigh… Very sexy tan lines to start off the summer, let me tell you!

We also stopped in at REI and spend our dividend – $7.30 burnin a hole in my pocket – and our members only 20% off coupon. Oh yeah!
i decided to get some wheel and seat locks. These nifty screws that only turn one way, so you can lock just your frame and no-one can just come grab your wheels or seat. Woohoo!

We returned home to another fabulous afternoon of adult beverages and dip on the roof. We relaxed till about 4 when we got ready for our night out to see the Mammoth play.
And it was dollar hot dog night! WOOHOO!!  (i’ll let you know now, i won’t be doing that again – my tummy boycotted it profusely!)
The game was amazing! It is now my most favorite sport! Fun to watch, exciting, they fights, and for the guys – they have hoochies for cheer leaders!

It was a really great weekend!

Last night we had a night out at the theater! One of our VIP evening! As i mentioned before we are theater snobs. Having spent a number of years out in LA with shows that run in multitudes of months no days. The usual run here is 2 weeks – ugh..  Phantom is actually a long run – 4 whole weeks. Sigh.
So that means we shell out the big bucks months and months in advance to make sure we are in the front 10 rows, center stage.
It also means we get a “dinner” which is usually anh, but there is an open bar and the wine flows freely.

Last night was an outing to Phantom of the Opera!
We were row H – seats 17 and 18 – so very nice seats indeed!!

Hubby had never seen Phantom – it was one of the shows that he really wanted to see!

At dinner we were at a table where most of the people knew each other. That made it so much better. Usually we have to play nice nice and be social with all the different couples at the tables. Sometimes that can be fun, sometimes that can be completely annoying. Last night it made it a fabulous little time for hubby and I. A little quiet chat time in the middle of a very noisy room!

There were 2 engagements during dinner – very very cute.

The show was fabulous. I had last seen it back in the 90′s at the pantages with my down stairs neighbor Kay. Haven’t thought about her in some time.
But the show seemed different to me. I think that’s ok, i paid enough for get a new show!!  :)

It was a lovely evening!

I’ve got my green on, do you?

Want to see my green? My friend started a new online website called coathngr - it like twitter, but

what you’re wearing not what you’re doing!  I love it!

Yesterday I got a lovely surprise from he hubby – unexpected flowers!  Say it with me…  Awwww……  :)

Flowers from hubby!

It was very unexpected and put a wonderful smile on my face!

Not sure what tonight holds for celebrating the luck of the irish…

I’m not a big guiness fan. I’m also not a big fan of crowds.

Might make it tough to get giggy with the drunken peeps around town!

The next time hubby is on taking his training the wii tell him it “heard a rumor that he had been living large”
Holy guacamole!!!

Good thing i came clean – there are really only 2 people in the house using this dang thing!
Little big mouth!

The previous host company did an upgrade and hosed my blog…  as you may have noticed.

Hubby is currently in the process of doing the database move, so i can’t do anything too fancy till that is complete.

I’ll be back on track soon!

Hubby was away and i couldn’t find any one to go skiing with me – so I went by myself.
That was a big deal for me! I’m still paranoid from my rental car flipping episode, and i tend to fall asleep on the way home when Hubby is driving… So i figured I was in for a heck of a time!

I made great time up there and got the front spot in our favorite parking spot! Woohoo!!
I skiied for 3 hours and felt great! No need for my normal 10:00 am snack and break time!
My tummy was grumbling by the time i called it quits – due more to the lines as opposed to me being tired. Yeah me!
I stopped by Starbucks on the way home and added an extra shot.

That seemed to do the trick! I cruised down the hill and back with nary a yawn!

Phillip was very happy to have me back home!

Hubby got a Wii (from me) and a Wii Fit (from tom) for his birthday and we haven’t been on line as much at night. But we might have to take video of us doing the hula game – that is hysterical! Hubby calls it a palsie fit by the time we are done with the round!

Then restaurant week started – so when we aren’t exercising we are eating!

My reviews are here:

But I did see this fun little game and had to put it somewhere besides a facebook note (I hate those, and my mom doesn’t have a facebook account … yet!) But it was too funny not to share!
