Weekend Update

Well this weekend was pretty busy for us (again leaving me super tired for work....it must be nice to be able to sleep in every day....ahem! You know who you are!)

We started off Friday night by going over to a friend's house to celebrate a birthday! Cake, drinks, and good people are always a great way to start a weekend off, in my opinion.

Saturday we started off our day by cleaning and donating one of our old tv's to a good cause. The condo Jeff and I borrow from time to time when we are heading up to the mountains! :) For dinner I made an awesome pasta salad with spinach linguini and lemon chicken-we almost ate the entire thing! It was very summery, but soooo good!
Then we made our way up to Central City and Blackhawk for a night of gambling and fun! It was actually another friend's birthday celebration and man, did we do it up right! I think we finally left around 4am, with money still in our pockets. And if I could've learned when to say no I would've had even more.... Ah well, we had so much fun it was worth it. I think this was the most fun we've ever had up in them there hills and I was really glad we decided to go.

Sunday was dedicated to the dogs. We had a home visit scheduled for the rescue smack dab in the middle of the day and it wasn't exactly what one would call 'close' to us. So we made our way up Coal Creek Canyon deep into Golden to visit a very nice family that definitely needs a dog. We decided since we were already out of the way, why not visit some old ghost towns and run down areas of old Central City. The home visit lasted longer than we anticipated, so we didn't get any good pictures since it was dusk by the time we made it to our destination-but it was a great way to end the weekend. And since the theme of the day was also going completely out the way for something, we ended up having Chicago's (http://chicago-colorado.com/) for dinner-yeah-you're jealous. Who wouldn't be?

We came home, full of roast beef and italian sausage sandwiches and chicago dogs. Then proceeded to sit on our couch and watch 2 movies. FYI-Lucky Number Slevin is one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Highly recommended. Highly.
