A Mile High*

*The thing about being literally a mile high is that one beer = two shots of tequila. So y’all should know that I wrote this while under the influence. I would apologize but you know me.

I never mentioned this but about two years ago I had to have a serious Come to Jesus discussion with myself about moving to Denver. I didn’t of course, since I now live in Upstate NY. But I still like to think about how my life would have been if I had decided to make the trek. I am in Denver for the weekend and I will be back in a few months. There are stories to come. A lot of ‘what if’s’ but I am happy with my decision. It’s like sliding doors though; I wonder what would have happened or could have happened if, back then (at the ripe old age of 22), I had decided to leap.
HRH Greeblemonkey took this photo a few nights ago. I think it pretty much sums me up in all of my smiley, edamame loving glory.
Also check out my eyebrows. For those wondering what I spend my ad revenue monies on it is on transforming my unibrow into two separate eyebrows that don’t look like mating caterpillars. And for that I thank you all.
Shamelessly Sassy says:
Hey, I’ll click someone’s ad all day if it will eradicate the unibrow.

Um, Colorado is my absolute favorite state ever (well, except for Hawaii, but that totally doesn’t count as it would be unrealistic as to live there). I always planned on moving to CO Springs after graduation, but hey, SF isn’t a bad alternative, right?
(And I’m slightly drunk while posting this — Hi from Juneau! — so apologies for any and all typos.)
Momo Fali says:
My son is six and I wax his eyebrows. Really. He gets his unibrow from me. I could buy a house with the money I’ve put into keeping that hair under control.
Abigail M. Schilling says:
Dude, your eyebrows are HOT.
Also, when do you go back to Den-to-the-ver? I have been thinking about visiting there this fall just for fun (I’ve never been).
Queen of Shake Shake says:
Using ad revenue for wax jobs. Hmmmmm. That may be the argument that pushes me over to putting ads on my site.
gorillabuns says:
This might explain why I hardly wax the brows. my revenues suck it.
Angella says:
That photo just makes me love you even more.
rosalicious says:
I live in Denver and I LOVE it =) The altitude is my favorite excuse for being a lush (although, some science just came out that altitude has no affect on alcohol, but I beg to differ.)
Are you at Hapa Sushi in that picture? Yum!
Aimee Greeblemonkey says:
Yeah, that “what if” includes lots of drunken nights of you and me stumbling around downtown. Just sayin.
And Rosalicicious, yes, that is Hapa!
Mompaca says:
I like the way you write. That magarita at the top makes my mouth water.
I also read the post on Mocha Momma. Very funny!
