Until my next post, check this crazy amazing video Thaddeus showed me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello all...

Hello all, I haven't blogged in a few days.. but for good reason. I've been quite busy. I still work full time at Nine West but have been interviewing for a different position elsewhere for the past three weeks; having had five interviews total. Although slightly daunting, the experience has been incredibly good for practice, as I have felt more professional/well spoken at each interview. I've also been soooooo lucky to have a good mentor for support throughout the whole process. Exciting!

Another exciting event coming up is HALLOWEEN. Definitely one of my favorite holidays! I'm throwing a party with my roomie Melanie and temp roomie Thaddeus on Friday and it should be pretty spicy!! Pumpkins, a gin bucket and other crazy shenans I can't possibly predict will undoubtedly transpire!!

I'll have more pictures and stories to post as soon as I can... I haven't yet blogged about my mom and lil brah coming to visit or Patrick's crazy house party. In due time folks... Until then!

SHOES.

For those who haven't seen or experienced the shoe closet/hallway that leads to my room; here's a preview. Despite the frequent trippage these shoes cause, I'm quite fond of them!!

Open the doors and what do you find...??

More shoes, of course. <3<3<3

FALL FASHION.

Fall is here, people, and that equates to one very important thing: FALL FASHION. I'm so very excited I could spit!! Layering is my favorite and working at Nine West has given me the opportunity to stock up on BOOTS. My 'shoe hallway' is pretty much overflowing and although the collection is getting totally excessive, I don't care to acknowledge it at this time:)

I was pretty happy about this outfit. I like finding new ways to wear scarves.Yes, that's a mustache on my mirror.
This night was pretty spicy even though there were some ackward moments I won't get into--went to check out the Red Rocks and then visited Tony at a Thai restaurant where he works. That last outfit was my favorite of the season until I came across this one.
These were taken in Ned and Carinna's wicked-ass bathroom. Another good night.
A little bit creeper, but whatever. This was yesterday's diddy, worn for shopping.

Good times....

Good times here in Denver, folks. Today was definitely a good one. I didn't have work so I slept in for the first time in weeks, went shopping with Eva, and hung out at Spencer's. Fun times were had and everything felt more normal than it has in ages. I'm really excited and nervous for my upcoming interview. Aside from that, I'm looking forward to my friend Thaddeus' arrival in Denver. He's staying at my place for a couple weeks as he looks for work and in exchange, he'll be sharing his climbing gear and company with me! Psyched!Let's see, what else?? Halloween is rapidly approaching and Eva and I are desperately searching for the perfect costumes. She's thinkin tinkerbell. I'm thinking sexy cop (with mustache, to sex it down). No halloween costume will top the mimes Meredith and I went as a couple years ago--CLASSIC.

Days and Nights...

As usual, I've been quite occupied with all there is to do in Denvaaa. The nights have been spent at many a show; the days are always different/fresh/new/exciting--that is, when I'm not working. I do enjoy working at Nine West because I'm positively in love with the product and people who work there; but the retail aspect and hours are NOT for me anymore. I've been networking and looking into something different for a couple weeks now and will have my third interview on Friday--so, wish me luck!!! More details when the time comes. Until then...

Three GREAT bands played this night. Sad I missed Old Radio, though. Churchill.

I was excited to be dressed like a boy! Little brother's old shirt.

LOVED this band. Eagle Seagull.

I bought a wicked shirt from them of a man with a Fu Manchu!Another fun weekly event has been Sundays at Russ' house. He's had a bunch of people over for Rockies and Broncos games for the past few weeks and it's been really nice having that sports fill . When I hung out with my Dad in Iowa, we'd almost always watch sports, whether it be golf, football, tennis, basketball or whatever--I miss those times a lot. Russ has a big ol' TV like the one at my Dad's place and there's always good company around so it'sa noice!

Russ, mixin a gin and tonic--favorite!One Sunday, Eva and I left early from Russ' to head to Boulder Canyon at a particular lookout she'd visited before. The weather was NOT feeling cooperative and as you can see, the view was non-existent. We missed the view, but did meet a couple nice guys who treated us to a Mediterranean dinner afterwards:):) Fun night!
Checkin the view...

Awkward pic but check the shirt!!!

Eva's surprise party...

Hi Hi! One of the events I haven't posted about yet is Eva's surprise party. I was SO happy and proud to be a part of the planning etc. because Eva is having such a big year in America and I really wanted her to have an equally exciting birthday party. Spencer had a ton of people over and made sure everyone stayed quiet before Eva and I arrived. Jeremiah made cupcakes. There was such a good turnout and the night couldn't have gone more smoothly for Miss Evee!! So happy it all worked--here are some pictures!

Haha, I love Mark!The rock n roll started early.The birthday girl herself.Grapejuice.More music--Jeremiah, Tony, Spencer and Patrick.Adam on drums!Love love love. Time for bed--little peanut Virgil-dog feeling the buzz too!
Sleepy dowg. <3<3<3

List of things...

So, I have this list of things to do--a bucket list, if you will... The list is quite random (gallop on a horse, fillet a fish, kill a man!, etc. etc.) You know, the usual. The past couple weeks I was able to cross off 'shoot a gun' and 'drive a tractor' thanks to the shenanigans that were had at Jeremiah's ranch!! I was so totally exhilarated after shooting the gun--freaking out, screaming all over the place, high pitched yelling--really really good time!! I was also almost bucked off a horse; which wasn't on my list, but really interesting none the less. I was pretty pissed--mostly at myself for not keeping control, but good ol' Sherman and I will have some words and WILL come to an agreement the next time I see him. Here are some pictures:)

A view of Pike's Peak in the distance.

Really excited about this gun business!Back at Jeremiah's house. Cow Skull.
More posing with the gun. Real hardass, I know. Cow skull again! Jeremiah with zee horses.
Love it.
Another view of Pike's.
Found a horse skull whilst hiking about. This is by Jeremiah's childhood home which had to be burned down. On the inside.
The tractor I drove, no big deal...
