A quick peek inside the bag of potatoes I picked up at the National Weather Center's Farmers' Market today. Can't wait to mash these babies up! :)

Day 180
Took a new culinary adventure today... I cooked with raw chicken! I've always used pre-cooked chicken in recipes before because raw chicken is so slimy, and I never knew when it was done. I saw Stacey make this when we were in Dallas, and she was kind enough to send me the recipe so I could attempt to recreate it. It's called "Wild and Cheesy Chicken" - and it was good. :)

Day 179
After multiple re-gluings, this little guy seems to have finally bit the dust. He flung himself off the fridge today and landed in these pieces on the floor, leaving his magnet behind on the freezer door. So long, little friend.

Day 178
Patrick and I have been in Boulder, CO the past few days while he finished up a conference and we saw the sights. One of the best sights was the view of the "flatirons". These shots are from the mall across the street from our hotel. To me, these views feel so surreal - like someone put a backdrop behind the town.
On Friday, some of Patrick's friends from college drove us up to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. We went on the highest highway in the country - we were up over 12,000 feet by the end of the drive! Here are some pictures from that outing - and of the elk we saw en route!

There was some kind of fire on another mountain.
We were finally up high enough to be higher than some of the mountaintops!
Great views from really high up! :)
Patrick was fascinated by the still-present snow drifts. He got to make a snowball in June! It was nearly 40 degrees cooler up there than it had been in Boulder.
On the way back down, we stopped to look at some elk by the side of the road.
A close-up
And a pose! :)
We had a lot of fun on our trip, but it is so good to be home!

Day 176
Spotted this little guy at lunch today... too bad he was ceramic!
Did some other cool stuff today, too, but I'll have to post that at a later date...

Day 175
Yesterday I had to walk across campus again for a meeting. I figured I should dress up. Unfortunately, I wore "dress" shoes for this walk in the heat and humidity... and ended up with multiple blisters on my poor feet. :( See Exhibit A:
(I figured it was less disgusting to leave the Band-aids on for the picture. You're welcome.) I had to borrow Patrick's socks today since they are thicker than mine and I needed more cushion in my shoes. What did I choose to do today, you might ask? Shop. Yes, wander around for a few hours on my feet, shoes on and off in the dressing room, etc. Not my wisest move ever, but then again, neither were the dress shoes. :)
