Making things and taking pictures of my puppy- my two main hobbies these days.
Did you know that Brandon and I will have been dating 5 years on November 11? Yep. It's true. He's put up with me/I've put up with him for 5 % of a century. Isn't that how we're supposed to refer to milestones of being with the one we love? That's just crazy talk/hog wash/bologna. In all honesty, he's just as sweet as he was back in the days when we would hang out from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. because we worked opposite schedules. That's love. Also, still loving someone after seeing them under art fair stress- that's love, too. And road-tripping 10 hours across Nebraska and surviving? Pure love, baby.
So I bought a pair of snow skis yesterday. Yay! I feel like the Colorado thing is officially official now that I have procured a pair of skis. I was thisclose to buying a snowboard, as Bran and his sister both have most all the gear now, but I've never snowboarded and know I love skiing and there was a huge sale going on at the local sporting goods store. The only catch? The last time I was skiing was about 10 years ago at Terry Peak. Therefore, I had a tough time classifying myself as either beginner or intermediate when the salesman asked. So I said I was a begintermediary skier and he sold me this schmancy red and black pair of skis.
Oh, the nostalgia (of only 2.5 months ago). Pathetic, I know. You know you love reliving Koda's puppyhood just as much as me. Note that while he has grown, his bandit mask around his eyes has not.

I post dog pictures when I should be doing something productive
More fun with dogs and hats. While his eyes are screaming, "I hate you, you evil woman," he's actually deep-down smiling at all the hot dog babes he's going to score with this hat.
Koda hanging on the stairs- his favorite place in our whole entire house other than perhaps hanging around my feet when I'm trying to cook the ever-so-rare homemade dinner. He used to be able to fit better, and soon will have to find a new and creative way of squeezing his big doggie bootie on the stairs.

My computer caught some sort of virus or worm last week, so I've not been on my computer much lately. I downloaded a few fancy things, and it's worked two days in a row now, so hopefully I've fixed whatever was ailing my poor laptop.
It's been cold in Colorado this past week, so we've been making homemade chili and lighting up the fireplace. In spite of a few below-40 evenings, we haven't turned on the heater just yet. Instead, last night I wore tank top, long-sleeved shirt, sweatshirt and fleece jacket. I would have put on my actual winter coat over all these layers if not for the loss of movement in my arms.
