cherry creek reservoir

life in the fast lane

August 13th, 2012 4

we went to the beach! kind of. one of the things i don’t love about denver is how far from the ocean we are. i’ve always been more of a beach girl than a mountain girl, but oh those rockies sure are pretty. we did find the next best thing though (we just have to close our eyes and imagine the water going on forever), at cherry creek reservoir. the sand is deep and clean and it honest to goodness feels like the beach, with a huge park attached for biking, camping and picnicking. and it’s only a half hour from home, hooray for sand + water!

otherwise, i’m counting the days till my new mac gets here. two weeks is a looonggg time all of a sudden. wednesday is the day, tick tock, tick tock. i flew through two books that were recommended to me, the informationist & the innocent, by taylor stevens. watched the season finale of dallas (i know, i know, i can’t help myself), and am sad that tonight is the series finale of the closer. do any of you watch? at least they’re giving us major crimes, but no kyra sedgewick… she’s back to full time with mr. bacon. we’ve been walking a ton, even a little alley walking (where we really get a peek at what’s what), and if all goes well, he has a couple of house projects on this weeks to-do list so we may actually have some updates later this week. fingers crossed! how was your weekend?
