Halloween Costumes
So I love Halloween. Like, a lot. I have had many really cool ass Halloween costumes through the years: The allegorical figures of Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll, The Axis of Evil, The Divine Comedy, The Poe Toaster and his offering, Masque of… Continue Reading “Halloween Costumes”
Our first BLUE egg!
So when we bought chickens, I was adamant that we get some aracaunas because… well… Danger Bob really, but also because blue eggs. Well, Miss Violet has started getting rogered by the Roos, so we figured eggs weren’t far behind. And we were right!… Continue Reading “Our first BLUE egg!”
Eyeball Cookies

The Long Cut (Part IV)
Day two begins with WAFFLES!!! I love me some waffles. We get moving slowly, because we have loads of time. (Ha!) We start out and get distracted by Bent’s Old Fort. Which. Is. Awesome.
The Long Cut (Part 3)
OK, it’s like two hours out, and we’ve only left the mountains. It just gets weirder.
The Long Cut (Part 2)
So we finally get out of town, like an hour after we leave. And decide to take the peak to peak highway again. This time, there’s no snow! Again, we stop and wander about in various places. Lunch in Nederaland at Happy Trails, where we… Continue Reading “The Long Cut (Part 2)”
