I wonder..

...why I am so worn through?  I just had five days off work, for pete's sake.  And got an extra hours sleep to boot!

Let's see, what exactly did I do?

We have been shopping for office chairs. And while we were doing that, we looked at other furniture.  We bought office chairs, but nothing else.  Yet.  It is exhausting trying out chairs.

Sit down. Get up. Sit down, get up.  Sit down get up. Sitdowngetupsitdowngetup....

There was Halloweening to do, and the decorations are down and put away for another year.  Still eating candy, though.

We 'headed to the hills' (drove to the mountains) yesterday for a peaceful, off season day up in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain.  I stopped in at the local yarn shop and the quilt store.  Bought a bit of fabric.  Bought no yarn.

The sun has come out. The temps were over 60F Saturday and most all the snow is left.  Whackadoo, I know!  Snow day on Thursday.  Shirt sleeves on Saturday.

Then there has been the grand opening of Atomic Sisters.  'The Sister Who Has Blazed The Commerce Trail' (otherwise known as Dearest) continues to 'suggest' things I may have overlooked.  I am glad for her ideas.  It helps me appear more sufficient than I truly am, and she has actually done some of it for me.  But it's haaa-aarrrd for meee....

I repotted half a dozen house plants while Wonderful Guy put together the new office chairs.  Hope they make it.  The newly repotted plants, that is.  I am pretty sure the chairs will be fine.

We went to Denver to the museum for the Ghenghis Khan exhibit and an IMAX movie today.  It was 'free day' at the museum.  That was...interesting.  The Mongolian artifacts were very cool, and the IMAX movie was OK.  I always enjoy the mineral and gems and the diaramas. But ohMY!  So did all. the. small fry! In very noisy fashion.  Well, what can I say.  They all had a great day at the museum, and that is very cool!  It is not a stuffy, quiet place, that is for sure.  The Guy and I were talking about it.  Every time we have gone there, it has been a full place.

So there it all is. Time off, but all full.  Lots of stuff done, and but nothing terribly inspirational, nothing photographed, and not much beyond a post saying I posted.

But I posted!

The Denver Museum of Natural History is ALLLWAYS inspiring for me. I'm a rock hound, so I love the mineral section, too. I love the traveling displays and the dinosaurs. The planetarium is one of my favorite places, and IMAX is a close second. The only place I like better is the Colorado History museum.

No WONDER you are tired! Everytime I go the Museum and look at the rock and mineral collection, it reminds me of how great my Dad's collection is, even if no one else thinks so. Now that Mom has moved, we still have to deal with what is left, after I culled my favorite specimens. Anything you are looking for????

Having a 'cold spell' and then a warm up, sure makes us appreciate the nice days, don't you think?

Hmmmm.... I didn't see you mention a nice, long weekend nap anywhere in this post!

The movie thing was a blast from my past though... Back when I had a real job, I worked for National Geographic on their IMAX film, Mysteries of Egypt.

Genghis Khan was such an interesting figure. Or at least I think so. So much so, in fact, that I named my cat after him. haha

Sounds like you've been busy! The AtomicSisters shop looks fantastic. Def. on my bookmark list now. =D

Stacy - and I have been busy since. Your prize yarn still isn't in the mail. Tonight, I promise.

Kathleen - I haven't been to the CO History Museum. I will have to drag the Guy there next.

Liz - Any rhodochrosite, or tourmaline?

Kate - Seriously? Mysteries of Egypt! Cool!

Luna & G - Thanks for the shop compliments. DSis is quite a motivator!

And Luna and Cowgirl - The exhibit was pretty awesome. But I am always taken by old stuff, er, history.

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
