It sucks having to give up things you like

This day should have come for me about 2 weeks ago. I went through a major cleaning phase trying to get my house back in order and I ended up throwing away several items that I really liked. Too bad, so sad, oh well. I ended up throwing out a set of bracelets that I liked. They were really pretty, but I think it's for the best. I have so many other pieces that I don't wear so maybe it's a good thing.

I thought about throwing out some candle holders, but then I remembered they were a gift from my mom. I thought I shouldn't throw those out, she would have been pissed. I mean I could donate them and not tell her....they are just taking up space and I don't really use them....Hmm, oh well. Maybe another day!

Beer Fest & Blogging

Craft Lager Festival Round 1!

Well, Saturday Nancy and I drove down to Manitou Springs for the beer festival.  We had a blast!  Hung out with her dad, saw Heather and TJ, tried a lot of beer, gave away our pretzel necklaces, and bought funny magnets.  Later, we went into town for a bit and ended up doing shots with dinner because we wanted to keep the souvenir glasses.

Round 2!

As for our lazy Sunday, we spent all day on Nancy's parent's couch watching Season 3 of True Blood.  We're almost fully caught up!

And, as for Day's 3 & 4 of our adventure...  Yesterday, I was supposed to throw away something I liked.  Being away from home made it difficult, but as soon as I got back today, I chose to throw away my CU Cammelback thermos.  I love it, but it's a little dinged up, and I've had it on my counter for a month now trying to figure out how to salvage it.  Instead, I donated it to the trash gods.

Today's assignment was to color a world map based on places you've been, will go to within a year, intend to visit before you die, and places you hope to gods you never end up.  I ended up having to create my own category, though, of places that I don't have a huge urge to go to, and don't care either way if I end up there or not.  That ended up being most of Africa.  Some places I just don't know enough about to just decide if I want to go there or not.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to place an Out of Order sign on something at random...  Suggestions on something amazing?  I was thinking, like a mailbox or something.  Wish me luck!
