G had the biscuits and gravy, I had Amsterdam Hash: potatoes/eggs/veggies covered with gravy. It was good - the service was subpar to the point of being ridiculous. But anyhoo - I kept telling G how amazed I was at the amount of veggies they put in everything. Turns out it's a vegetarian/vegan restaurant. Ha! So, you know, now it all makes sense.
Know what's better than one mimosa?
Two mimosas!
I ordered one and the waiter (the like, one time he came to the table) said they were two-for-one, so he just brought me two. Have I mentioned I love Denver? Also? I'm in short sleeves! Yay, spring! They're calling for snow later this week but I'll be in VA so I'll just pretend it never happened.
A modern-day hitching post:
It kills me. I want 75 dogs and I want them immediately. Orca can deal.
After brunch, we moved it on down to Dazbog and met the realtor. Turns out that right now really is a good time to buy - (would a realtor ever tell you it's not a good time?) But it's mostly due to the low interest rates. They are half of what they were when we bought our first house, so it's worth our time and effort (since we're never, ever, ever leaving Denver) to scout around and see if we can find something.
The next step is to schedule an appointment with a lender after I get back from VA, get the finance ball rolling, and then start looking at houses. I feel oddly, nay, alarmingly calm about the house hunt. (Except: the thought of moving again so soon makes me want to hurl.) Maybe the whole thing just hasn't sunk in yet? It's a seller's market, so there are lots of bidding wars for houses - something we have never experienced. So maybe I'm nonchalant because I think even if we find something, we won't be able to get it? Maybe I know G and I will argue so much since we want completely different things, that I just don't want to deal with it?
Anyhoo, I'll take this newfound cool and just go with it. This never happens to me.
It was a beautiful day to sit out and sip coffee and plan for the mysterious future.
To take advantage of the weather and alleviate the stress, we went for a run in the park. I would like to run more often, but I have IT band issues. I've heard about the wonders of foam rolling, and finally broke down and got a roller. For the past couple of weeks I've been using it at night after walking home, and although it hurts like crazy at the time, it really works! It has helped me so much that I don't even feel yesterday's run. So I'm hoping to run a bit more regularly, maybe 1-2 times a week, if that's not too much on top of walking to work and hiking on the weekends. I'd really like to fit that in.
It is proof that there is a God, that I'm able to run at this altitude. I only felt like dying about 7 times.
And then I went to supper club and cancelled out all those burned calories.
Happy Monday, peeps. I'm flying out tomorrow - hopefully for the last time in many, many moons.
