This weekend involved a ton of work, and… not much of everything else. But I did take a break on Saturday night to throw my annual Mardi Gras fete (“Party Gras!”), so let’s recap that, shall we? I made basically the same menu as last year, except I cut the King Cake from the rotation. Even though it’s a classic Mardi Gras dish, and the tradition of baking a baby into it is fun, I’m not really a big fan of King Cake. However, that made the prep a lot easier, since the only thing I had to make ahead …

Weekend Recap: Family Trip to Vermont

travel, weekend / 4 Comments

I wrote a few weeks ago about my grandmother’s passing on my father’s side. Because my Babcie lived in Warsaw, Poland, it was quite a struggle for my whole family to get there on short notice. In the end, my father went to represent our family, and my brothers and I planned a special trip up to spend time with him when he got back; we are also planning separate trips to Poland later in the year, when we’ll have more time to spend with all of our family there. And to truly make the time with my dad a …

Last weekend was a pretty exciting one for me – my brother Erik came to visit Colorado for the first time since I moved! Friday started out as a really fun day at work. We had our national all-hands event, and I led the planning of the in-person portion for our Denver office. After a delicious lunch buffet, we watched a live webcast from Dallas. At the end of the webcast, we were treated to the news that our Denver office had won a national challenge and all of us were leaving the event with Amazon Echo Dots and Apple …

Weekend recap a week behind… it’s been a rough week! But I’ll post last weekend’s tonight, and hopefully will do this weekend’s tomorrow. I want this documented for my own personal diary to look back on later 😉 Later this spring, I was planning on buying a condo in the mountains. (I’m no longer sure whether that’s financially possible for me due to some major upsets this week, but we’ll see.) To help me make a well-informed decision, I decided in December that I’d spend one weekend a month in the mountains – to see how much I like certain …

This weekend started pretty rough. As I wrote about on Saturday, my grandmother in Poland passed away on Wednesday. It was something we were expecting, but the news was nonetheless sad. Furthermore, that left my family trying to figure out how to book last minute flights to Warsaw for the funeral. In the end, we decided to send my dad to represent our American branch of the family, and my brothers and I will go visit in a few months when we can spend more quality time with our family there. It wasn’t an easy decision, at all, but I …
