Today I’m participating in Wine and Love, where we review our week and say what we loved and what caused us to reach for our wine glasses. If you’d like to join us, you can link up through Suki, of Super Duper Fantastic!

What has me reaching for my wine glass…

•There’s been a little bit of drama this week. I could really do without it and how bipolar it has made me. For the most part I’m fine but I have my moments. And those moments are really unfun. Let’s just say I’m really looking forward to happy hour tonight and the champagne cocktail I’m going to treat myself to.

•The post race soreness. I’ve given myself this week to recover from the Bolder Boulder that I ran on Monday and while I don’t really mind the soreness, I’ve discovered muscles I didn’t know existed. And from the way they are crying, they didn’t know they existed either.

•Finding a hammock stand has proven hard. Finding one that isn’t a bazillion dollars is impossible. I just want to lay on my hammock and read in the sun! (But really nap, let’s be honest here.)

Things I’m loving…

•I completed the Bolder Boulder! In 1 hour, 13 minutes and 1 second! I’m still amazed that I was able to do it without walking and it wasn’t horrible. In fact, I MAY DO ANOTHER ONE. I’m going for the shock and awe tactic here.

•TBEX is only a couple weeks away and the planning has started. There’s beer tasting at Wynkoop in Denver, an opening party on two peaks in keystone that sounds amazing, a western “shin dig” that we need to find Suki cowboy boots for (I might have a pair that i can pretend are cowboy boots) and a weekend full of travel bloggers and fun. I’ve never been to a blogging conference and I’m really looking forward to it. And maybe a tad nervous! ALL THE PEOPLE. Gulp.

•B and I are working on a puzzle we picked up over the weekend. I love puzzles and board games and am glad he does too. Of course we had to pick the hardest puzzle EVER. Seriously, 85% of the puzzle is solid colors. It’s a lot of fun though and hopefully we don’t kill each other over puzzle piece placement ;)

•This peach pear smoothie from Ideal Market right by my job. Little piece of heaven, if you ask me. It’s helping me get through this day.

•My little potted garden is growing quite nicely! My onions and spinach have sprouted and my tomatillo is turning into a raging monster. Seriously this thing is enormous already. Aside from mmodest growing tomatillo, my flowers are all doing pretty well. We won’t speak of my snap dragons. Those have died. Already. It does makes me happy to see so many pretty flowers right outside my back door. :)

•It’s Thursday which means…TOMORROW IS FRIDAY!!!

What are your whines and loves this week?
