Once upon a time, a sweet little lady missed Christmas with her family… this is what happened…
Happy Holidays – Take 1 aka “We fired Santa” December 18, 2008
We had to fire Santa for his unprofessional and disrespectful behavior during our shoot. We found it very difficult to work under those circumstances. Our apologies to all those who were expecting a jolly fat man in the final take!
Enjoy and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Happy Holidays aka “Mary K’s Hanukkah Christmas Kwanza New Year’s Extravaganza!” December 18, 2008
Every year, around the holiday season, all around the globe, people have junk rabbits that need to be fed something extra special! This particular piece of junk is the jewel of the junkyard and we certainly hope that it satisfies our very hungry junk rabbit.
Enjoy and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!

It’s been so long December 10, 2008
It’s been so long since I’ve written a blog. Jesse and I have been on the road with DAT for the past 3 months and we’ve been going, going, going like crazy!
We’re now driving across the country with my mother and sister so we can get to NYC before family time at Christmas.
Although this road trip has been very exhausting for me, I really had a great time and I am grateful for the experience!
ugh, and I have cramps, but we keep plugging along- East Coast here we come!
See you soon, NYC.

Day 5 and 6: Vail to Durango September 21, 2008
so here we are in Vail...
ahh, what's that?
We had a great, fun time in Vail with Dan and Isa, and our hosts, Megan, Eric, and Roscoe!
We had a nice drive there from Boulder, and then a really nice evening with the whole gang.
Yummy enchiladas and smores…
a perfect night in Vail!
The Gang (Mary, Dan, Isa, Jesse, Megan and Eric (AND ROSCOE!)
The next day we made a visit to the farmers market, which was really cool (that’s where we were in the shots), then headed out on our journey to Durango.
On the way, we got really lost, which was awful, then back on track and went to visit The Great Sand Dunes National Park, where I -of course- got a STAMP! (Yay for history, Mom!) The Sand Dunes are a National Park because of the efforts of two women, who, in essence, saved them from the Gold Rush! Here are some fun shots of us at the dunes:
Another fun day in Boulder September 20, 2008
we made a return visit to the Tea Shop!
So, yesterday I talked about our last visit to Boulder and a little about what we did on the 18th. On the 19th, we had another full day and it was equally as fun!!
Of course, we met with the chairperson from Naropa University, we bought a new camera (because we needed a good one and ours was stolen in Ecuador), and we had an amazing adventure with grocery store sushi! (It was scary.)
We taped a podcast this morning before leaving for Vail, where we’re meeting some friends for an overnight. More details on that fun time tomorrow.
Before we left we found a great photo opp at the grocery store:
DAT in a nutshell
And on the road to Vail, we stopped at Buffalo Bill’s grave site and took this beauty:
Get off my land!
More to come! Tomorrow, update on the day in Vail, and the drive to Durango!

Fun in Boulder September 19, 2008
Jesse and I are spending two full days in Boulder, CO for our ACTion:Ecuador College Tour, and so far we are having the best time!
HISTORY: We’ve been to Boulder before, in January 2007, during our first trip together as a couple and my first time to Denver to meet his good friend Dan and his wife Isa. We came up to Boulder for a day trip and spent the whole day doing touristy things:
- We visited the Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory
- and the Leaning Tree Art Museum
We also visited this Meadery, which was really fun although we have no photos of it, and we met this really strange couple. They must have been twice our age, but they were really awkward together and I just remember feeling really weirded out by them… They must have been a new couple, but I really don’t think they were right for each other. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think Jesse and I were ever that awkward around each other, especially not when we were with strangers. hmm…
And, of course, we went to a brewery (we are in Boulder, after all) and sampled all the beers... I got a little tired 
Ok, funny little tid-bit, I’m wearing that same white sweater right now… I’m a clothes saver people!!!
So, YESTERDAY was the 18th and we, of course, worked. We went and talked with CU at Boulder about the ACTion Project and if you’d like to read more about that visit, click here. After work, we went over to downtown boulder and explored the Pearl Street Mall, very cool walking street with little shops along the way. I asked one female outfitters store if they sold the WhizFreedom, and of course they did not. (But, it’s ok, because I have MINE!!! YaY)
Then we found this little thrift store, so we decided to check it out. They were selling used costumes for Halloween, a lot of cool, vintage, white dresses… long story short, Jesse went next door to get a drink and wait for me, I took 4 dresses into the fitting room, called my mom, and bought a dress for $38.94, which could very well be my wedding dress! Oh my dear god!!! I can’t believe that happened!
WoW
So, after dinner, we went to see a live recording of etown! That was just amazing! I had no idea they were based here in Boulder, and we just happened to walk by and see that there just happened to be a live taping that night!!! Oh, and we walked in looking for seats and were directed up, and another staff member said, “wait, do you mind the front row?” and we were like, “uh, of course not!!!” So we were up close and personal with the guests, which I’ll talk about later, because we have to get out on the town!
xoxo,
Mary K
