Yup, it's true, I killed Hank! Known FACT: Beta fish like to jump, fill their tank up too much and there is a possibility that they might make it out of the tank (wish I knew this when I cleaned his bowl on Sunday). Hank jumped out of his tank in the middle of the night and I found him dry and crispy on the tile floor Monday morning. I got him off the floor before Stella woke up and when she walked by his tank and said "Good Morning Mr. Hank" luckily she didn't notice Hank wasn't in there because normally he hides in the greens in the mornings. Whew, Monday morning crisis averted. Now what? Do I try and find a matching colored fish (not hard to do) and replace him before Stella notices? Thought about it all day long and decided that I would fess up and let Stella know what happen. The truth prevailed and Stella was good with it all. A little bummed but the new fish behind my back sort of made it better pretty quick. Now, time to come up with a name..... Meet ...

Check out this article..... I was interviewed by a friend a few weeks ago! Eldora pledges to enhance the skier experience as their primary focus for the upcoming 2010-11 ski season. The resort is looking to capitalize on another snowy winter after receiving well over their annual 300 inches of snowfall last season. Making the learning facilities more beginner friendly is Eldora's key element in introducing new skiers and snowboarders to the sport. They began by removing two lower mountain chairlifts, Tenderfoot 1 and Tenderfoot 2, and replacing them with a magic carpet. The new "lift" will facilitate beginning skiers and riders in getting up the mountain for the first time without having to load a chairlift. The magic carpet will be usable year round. Hikers, bikers, and other summer visitors will be able to park at the base Eldora , and within steps, load the Tenderfoot lift. Experienced guests can take advantage of improved gladed skiing this winter. Crews have spent...

Yesterday Stella and I went to Boulder for registration night for her ski team. It was exciting to see a bunch of people that we typically don't see throughout the summer but see every weekend throughou t the winter. It was fun to watch the kids get all ramped for the snow to start flying! Stella's Team from last year!!! If you happen to be in Boulder on Sept 30 th , at 7pm, come check out this sweet new movie (with proceeds going to the ski team)!!! A few guys I know are in it and from what I've heard, it rocks! A fun night out and for a great cause!!! Hope the weekend was great! Much Love!

Last night we sat out on the deck to this amazing sunset. Summer is slowly winding down and even though it's 90 today, the evenings are getting cooler and cooler (love it)!! These pictures don't do the sunset justice but they are still pretty! Stella and I have a weekend planned full of, no plans. It's nice once in a while to not make a plan and just see where the weekend takes us. There is of course the standard laundry and house touch ups to catch up on, but other then that......it's wide open to adventure! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Much Love!

Yep! It's that time of year again. Time to get all the wood chopped and ready for the winter. Both my parents house and my house are heated by stoves in the winter. It's a bit of a process to get it all ready but so well worth it! I actually enjoy doing this! The best part about this, is that, this means that snow is on it's way! Woot !!! Much Love!

I heard this song some time ago and LOVED it. I've been searching for it since and to my surprise, flipping through the channels last night....there she was. Florence!! She was on the MTV Music Awards and ROCKED it. Her live performance was phenomenal! I downloaded her album today from itunes. Can't wait to hear more! What a voice! Much Love!

Yup! Another fire has broken out about 10 miles (as the crow flys ) from the house. This time it's to the north of us. This one has less of a chance of reaching us then the one from last week but it's scary that all these fires are popping up and it's sooooooo dry. We haven't had rain around here for quite some time. So far about 700 acres have burned up since the fire started yesterday mid-morning. On a little lighter note, Stella and I had a great weekend. Pretty chill, nothin crazy, but had a great dinner with friends on Saturday night. Blessed to have such great friends! Also got a little shopping in this weekend and found these gems below! Some lovin around the BBQ pit. Found these at World Market (love that place)! All you need is LOVE!!! Check out the new flowers! Yeah I know, they're fake BUT, they add some great color to the house. Dad bought these planters for me a few days ago. It's a little late to try and plant some real flowers in them so t...
