Hello again friends!
My adventures of late have been more of a culinary nature (leave it to a non-meat eater to make pork chops into hockey pucks)... However, big news on the headlines these days is that I snagged me a job!
Yours truly is now a part time receptionist at a veterinary clinic , and possibly a soon to be part time personal assistant as well! Please don't let me stand in your way, while visions of Renne Zelwiger as the pouty yet plucky blond heroine, down on her luck when suddenly she lands a job in an adorable local animal hospital surrounded by puppies and kittens and an assorted cast of oddball yet well-meaning doctors (possibly played by Owen Wilson and Meryl Streep) in the Lifetime movie adaptation of my life play out before you. Not that I've given this any thought or anything. While I'll still be struggling to pay the bills and make ends meet, I am eternally grateful not to have to wake up every morning and stalk the job boards. It is a welcome and wonderful reprieve and I am delighted to have the opportunity. Right now I'm enjoying the flexibility of a part time schedule, seeing as how the BF also landed a very exciting gig of his own which will have him shipping off to Antarctica for a month in just a few short weeks!
So, here we go! Off on new adventures! I will keep you updated as the job develops, the plot thickens, and the heroine escapes with her hero to exotic new locales where her Barbie dream house awaits!
About Me
- Sara
- Denver, CO, United States
- Adventurer, wanderer, explorer extraordinaire. I love travel, yoga, photography, and cooking. I often pretend like I'm crafty, have a black rescue cat. This is the chronicling of my life from recent college grad with a degree in my pocket (with honors, thank you very much) and no immediate job prospects on the horizon--That little tidbit could be due to the fact that my boyfriend and I recently decided one day over cereal, "Hey! You know what would be a good idea? How about we uproot our stable lives, quit our jobs and move to Denver?!" And so we did. Just like that. We left the comfort of our 1100sq ft home and all our friends, ceremoniously quit our jobs and hit the road. One U-Haul, two cars, and one storage unit later, here we are! Livin' the dream in a cousin's basement and trolling the interwebs for employment in search for a better life in the Mile High City--To present day where we are living the dream in West Wash Park and planning our wedding after 3 wonderful and eventful years, in the 303.

Summertime and the livin' is...hot
Ok, I know I'm overdue, but I've been trotting around a bit. I never thought it would be cooler in New Mexico than in Denver! While I can't quite be friends with rum again yet, I can tell you about my pre-trip adventures and my sun soaked summer nights in the good old 303.
A week or so ago, at the start of this lovely heatwave is when I believe we became true Denverites. Not because we've been here nearly 6 months, or for any date derived reason, but because we (mainly I) decided that heat wave be damned! We were going to go ride our bikes around Wash Park!... during peak heat. FYI for those meteorological newbies like myself this does not occur at noon as it does in the East but rather between 3-4pm. And, we were not alone! Like other bike loving Denver hipsterites, we hit the paths surrounded by other like-minded maniacs. We even bought ice cream from the shady ice cream stand by the boathouse, and ate cherries in the shade while the grass tickled our toes....
Later that evening, we went to the infamous Rock Bar on Colfax. The best little dive bar in Denver. It's inside a super sketch motel (we took bets on what the rooms looked like: Quater massaging beds? Round Beds? Mirrors on the ceilings? Water beds?) where there was even a special appearance by McLovin' himself in all his tube sock glory! But-lest I disparage this little gem too much, let me tell you, it has the BEST dancing anywhere I've been so far (thanks in part to my new friend DJ Gatsby). No cover charge, and the best booty shakin' tunes you could ask for 'till 2 AM. The drink selection is...limited, but the people watching is gold. That is, if you can take a break from dancing long enough to look around. I highly recommend you check it out and bring your dancing shoes!
Until next time,
