This weekend I turned 26. Saturday Adam and I were supposed
to take the Colorado Brewery Bus Tour to Fort Collins and see the different breweries
and sample the different beers. But alas, a monster snow storm was predicted,
and the bus tour was cancelled. We were able to reschedule for late May, but I
was so bummed on Saturday. For once we had actual plans to go out and do
something, and those plans were replaced by staying home and eating junk food.
I don’t think I’ve ever been that bored or incapable of entertaining myself in
my life! Eventually we went to Barnes and Noble and GameStop and picked up some
video games to try and pass the time. I got Final Fantasy XIII (which I don’t
care for) and Fable II (which I love). While it wasn’t the blizzard of the century,
the snow was miserable enough that I only ventured out for yoga twice. Sunday I
walked there so I wouldn’t kick up the slush on my bike and get a dirt-skunk
line on the back of my coat. Sunday was better than Saturday. It was sunny, and
slightly warmer and I spent the afternoon at the Gypsy Café getting wifi,
watching Bones and Castle and looking up half-marathons I want to run.
Monday was fantastic! Adam and I took the day off for my
birthday and after yoga we went to Wild Eggs for breakfast. I had a “Surfer
Girl” omelet filled with vegetables, and covered in sprouts and avocados. It
was delicious! Then we went to the aquarium. I did not think the fish were very
interesting or impressive. Though the aquarium is able to boast that it is
“home to the biggest shark in Colorado.” I did pet a sting ray, but in my
opinion the facility was less impressive than Mystic Aquarium. After that we
walked around the Colorado Mills Mall, drank a Blueberry beer at the Yardhouse,
and then watched Oz the Great and Powerful in IMAX 3D. I enjoyed the movie, and
thought it was a great story with great effects. James Franco wasn’t too
terrible to look at either. During dinner at the Olive Garden it started
snowing again.
It’s now Thursday and it has finally warmed up again. It’s
finally feeling Spring-like, and I’ve even worn short sleeves to work!
