I'm still getting used to being a "denverite". The sudden surprise of waking up when it's snowed all night still really gets me. It's SO quiet when there's a blanket of snow, and it's so beautiful. I still am a terrible driver in the snow, though -- I hope I get the hang of it some day, but I have my doubts. I'm too much of a San Franciscan, and it never snows there!
Bought a new sectional sofa today. Hah. New to ME, that is! With cats, dogs, and kids the last thing I'd ever consider is buying brand new furniture. Maybe at some point down the road. Now, I'm all about the bargain -- and $40 for a big L-shaped denim sofa rocks, as far as I'm concerned.

and now, a flippin parade
Turns out that my job has me planning our major entry into a major Denver parade. Woo hoo! Chalk this up as one of those things I didn't think I'd have as part of my job description.
In a previous live, there was a stint where I met and worked with a string of what you'd call "colorful characters" -- a mafia lawyer, a Sioux money guy, a South African martinet with a Braveheart fixation, and two different burned-out daily newspaper newsroom editors. Sounds more like a bad film treatment, but it was reality.
Don't know exactly why this came to me right now -- maybe its because I've got other "personality types" to deal with right now.
Hell, it's fun. Let's go throw a parade.
