Barefoot Definitions

Tonight I tried a new class at the gym called Barefoot Definitions. It was a great class and I can tell I'll be sore tomorrow, and the day after that. It was a combination of dance, pilates, and yoga. The dance style of ballet. I've never done pilates before. And I've only done yoga once ever. It amazes me how standing still can make you sweat. I just don't get it. Well I'm not actually standing still, but, well you know what I mean, right? I know I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again. But I really enjoy doing new and different things.

and if anyone is counting, this the 5th day in a row I've worked out.
Yup, 5!
Thank goodness I get to take tomorrow off!

~something I love~

I stole this from Emily.

Welcome to my first weekly series of something I love. With my pattern of workouts, I'm slowly coming up short on things to write about. So Emily gave me an idea to do a weekly series. So this is what I'm doing.

I love my house.

I bought my house in April 2002.

I often question if Denver is my home, but this house is definitely my home. And it feels like my home. I love it. I'm tucked away in a cul-de-sac, where I feel safe.

Timing is Everything

I got this picture just at the perfect moment, and didn't even realize it. This is Denali stretching and yawning. I suppose the picture isn't really all that cute, but she is really so cute!

Date with Denver

So you know that episode of Sex and the City where Carrie talks about living in New York is fabulous because you can go out on a date with the city? Well I had a date with Denver on Wednesday night. It was a lot of fun, I went to eat downtown at a diner called Sam's No. 3, then I went to go see "Chicago"~the musical. I really enjoyed it. Whenever I go see a play in my head I critique it. In HS I was in drama and we had to two critiques a semester. We had to write about the costumes, if the play started on time, and if the audience was courteous.
The costumes were barely their! Very small pieces of clothing, but it did fit the atmosphere of the production. The actress of "Mama" I thought could have had a little bit more attitude. But Queen Latifah is hard to follow. I loved "Roxie", she was fabulous, and very funny. I loved the set up of the stage. The orchestra was actually part of the stage, and had their own character in the musical. My favorite part was when they sang "Cell Block Tango". Loved. It.
It was a great night, out on the town! Sometimes I have to remind myself that this is where I live. In Denver. That I live in this city. The Denver Performing Art center downtown, is beautiful. Their are probably 8 to 12 theater's in this facitlity.

Seven Card Stud

Driving into Chicago, Sears Tower, October 2008

So you know those blogs where you get tagged to post the 3rd picture of your 3rd folder, regardless of the picture or how random it may be? Well this is one of those blogs, except I didn't get tagged, and so I get to make my own rules, and plus I'm running out of things to blog about. So I decided to post the 7th picture of my 7th folder. The reason for the number 7? Because I really like the title I came up with for this blog, and that just happens to have the number "7" in it. I'm glad you asked. :) I tag all of you, or you can just leave me some ideas on what to blog about!

Super Bowl XLIII

I don't really know what to say. So I'll say Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers for winning their 6th Super Bowl!

I cried during Jennifer Hudson's performance of the National Anthem. Beautiful.
