It was damn nippy outside this morning and I did not enjoy scraping the frozen water droplets off my window mixed with the frost. I got through all that, and the windshield wipers were all wonky, so it wasn't even like they were doing anything. Oh well...thank you car for having defrost :)

I had an eventful day yesterday and I didn't even end up making it home last night at all because we got home semi-late.

The last we heard from me, I was finally leaving to go shopping...and that I did. Not that we did a lot of shopping, but we left nonetheless. When we left, the snow was coming down pretty hard...it wasn't sticking, but it was coming down. It got even worse driving through downtown Denver because then it turned into the rain/snow mix and it was just wet, slushy, everywhere all over. We thought about turning around, but we were going to meet Brian's aunt at her house down in Monument, so we kept going. His aunt was making us some big chicken dinner, so it would have been rude not to go down there. Brian's mom and I had a way different idea of where Monument was in relation to where we live. We thought it was right after Castle Rock (which is about 30 minutes south of town...right past the Tech Center)...NO...Monument was practically right before Colorado Springs.

We drove for what seemed like forever and a day and we finally get out there...and we get lost about 20 times and we finally find their house and OMG...when I say OMG, it doesn't even justify the thought I got when we saw this house. The thing was a mansion of epic proportions! When you walked in the front door, the whole front entryway (well, the whole upstairs) was marble floors and they had granite countertops in the kitchens...and then there was another kitchen downstairs and they had a theater that seat 10 people...and they had a wine cellar and chandaliers in every bedroom. The entry way/dining room area had an elaborate coffered ceiling and it was all faux painted and lit up like nothing I've seen. One of the bedrooms had a midnight blue ceiling that was painted up so well it looked like you were staring into the night sky...this was like an interior designer's wet dream! I was just amazed...I felt so white trash in this house it wasn't even funny. I'm wearing some green khaki pants and a t-shirt. I felt like a bum they picked up off the street and were being nice enough to let see their house for like 2 seconds...

But yeah, enough about the house...we ate dinner and by the time we were done with that, it was about 5:30 and the malls were going to close soon, so there went our shopping adventure. We ended up going down to Kohls and getting a few maternity clothes (and one outfit...like the baby doesn't have enough)...then we went to Walmart...and then we left. It was about 7:30ish by the time we started heading north again. We made one stop at Target in Castle Rock on the way back north...and then we were home. Phew...

Have any of you ever sat in a Hummer before? I'd never sat in one until yesterday and I don't know if it's because it was an H3 or what, but it was so cramped and small in the backseat of that thing...I don't think I much care for those cars. I'm content with smaller, much cheaper, Ford Explorers that appear to have way more room in the backseat...lol

Anyway, work time...not play time...

Phew! What a day!!! Did you take any pictures?

I hate Hummers. If I had my way every Hummer within five miles of my reach would have punctured tires and broken windows by now.

Hey there. I'm from Colorado too. I'm from around Littleton. To hear you talk about Castle Rock and Northglenn and all those places makes me homesick!! I haven't lived in Denver for five years now. It's sooo time to move home, but I have 4.5 more years to go before that happens. :(

And just so randomjunk knows... if you try and break the window of a Hummer, the Hummer BREAKS YOU!! O_o!
