a quickie...

blog, that is.

updates! not a bloody nose in sight for a few days. got a slight one yesterday, but i think i'm finally out of the woods. too bad i can't say that 'bout the spiders!

cannibalized my other computer for its power supply while i'm waiting for a replacement. hopefully, the new one (although not identical, but an upgrade) will be in flawless working order. it's funny how you panic a little when you can't play on the computer...

today, we're taking my friend out for her 50th b-day. unless things fall through, we're going to Cafe Brazil - awesome food! it's a tiny restaurant in northwest Denver. they've been around for about a dozen years and have some really special food...check out that menu! got her a garnet in a sterling silver pendant from Mexico City this past March...it's beautiful! and a steal too - $30! there's a great jeweler, Arturo, who runs a shop in the San Juan Market. his merchandise is very high quality and his prices more than reasonable.

other than that, not much else...

i do have a cute story regarding some siblings that i saw at McD's yesterday. there were these four little guys leaving the restaurant, following their dad to the company car (yellow taxi van). they were probably between four and ten, all happily drinking their cokes or slurping soft serve cones.

about a minute after they exited, two of the older boys bolted through the front door, exclaiming, "There it is!" apparently, they had left a toy on the counter. the older boy snatched it from the counter and headed back to the door, under the bellowing of his little brother..."it's mine! give it to me! MINE!" it was both amusing and eye-rolling to say the least! how can such a little guy have such a huge voice? they say that the smaller they are, the louder they can be...

anyway, as they chugged out back to the car, the older boy had to pull his brother back from crossing in front of an oncoming car. it was good to see that, even though he was being pursued over a puny toy, the older one still had the sense to look both ways. it coulda been a mess had they just run out into the parking lot...
