Denver or bust

Well, after a five hour delay at the Philly airport, I proceeded to arrive in Denver a little later than usual, but better late than never.




Kind Laura was such a gal pal to pick my butt up and then drop me off to get my hair done. Thank goodness Bobbie was such a sport and made time for me on such short notice. Laura returned shortly after that only to take me to yet another appointment...the one i was looking forward to for two weeks, my waxing appt. Thank goodness!!!! I'm sure there's a spot in Reading to get a good waxing of the bikini area, but i had one bad experience that is making my hands shake to even think about trying it again. Thank you Carrie for fitting me in!! So far, you wonder if i just went to Denver for a little primping...no! i went to see my girls!!!



Saturday night I got to crash in on Bobbie's scheduled girls night out. the Hornet was as good a place as any for a prego girl to try to fulfill her not-so measured up BLT from hours before. I got a proper BLT and things got underway. I got to reminisce with Wendi nu nu doody head and Nora pot pie and a bunch of other friends accompanied Bobbie. Dusty - it was great to see you....Janelle, nice to meet up again...it was such a nice comfort to be in the company of girlfriends. nothing really compares to it. nothing. I will never take a great friendship for granted ever again. not that i ever felt like i did, but i sure do wish i would've sent MORE time hanging out with you all before I moved.






I couldn't wait to spend some time with my pregnant cohort, Jenni. It was so awesome to see you again...I sooooooooo wish we could be closer to have more prego moments together. Lily has grown so much, i can't believe it! You look wonderful, as usual, and super happy...nothing out of the norm. It was great to shop together even though you may have felt a little pooped from all that cooking the night before. Come to think of it, i was trying to plan my grocery list around week-cooking. Seeing how my energy level took a HUGE crapper the past day or so, i'm afraid i will not live up to your motivation to plan my meals for the week. That will have to come another time. it's the thought that counts though. You had way more energy than i can muster up right now. yes, i think the pregnancy it finally winning at draining my energy. up until now, i have been pretty active and have felt my same old self. The past two days are torture to make it all morning without a nap. Thank you Jenni for making time to hang out. It meant the world to me.

I cannot go my whole post without mentioning my reunion with the chicken pot pie clan. Colleen was such a sport to make the drive to Estes Park even with a hangover...stopping to puke a couple of times here and there. seriously, i would've wanted my bed...thanks for being such a great sport!!! Estes was snowy and COLD! surprise! the mountains are completely unpredictable in May and well, i happen to catch the weather at it's coldest...sandwiched by two wonderful weekends. Sunday night we got to catch up over dinner at Bar Louie's in the new Northfield (?) shopping center. They put a ton of stores in in record time - i was impressed. if i had more time, i would've loved to check it out more.

I miss the sound of the city. i miss Denver. I wish i could take all of you and the city and bring it over to the east side. PA is beautiful and green...sunshiny, but wet. Pa is home now, but Denver will always bee my home away from home.

And don't forget, Laura's new addition, Bogie...the boge-miester...bogieronie..bogelicious.

12 weeks old...biting and challenging mom's patience. I wish you could get the chance to met Walden...he would race around you and bite your feet. Ahh, i remember when Walden drove me so nuts that i thought i was going to hang him from his little back feet off the balcony. hahhaahha, just kidding! Be consistent, have patience. it WILL get better. and then he will be your very best buddy.

Well, that pretty much wraps up my weekend. traveling while 7 weeks pregnant was no problem. i thank the morning sickness gods for NOT visiting me yet....or any time during my trip. I'm trying to keep you at bay.

it was so great seeing everyone. I can't wait to see you again...when my bump is bumpier!
