Picture of the Day - Heart Attack Burger

We eat at a local sports bar called Red Zone several times a month, and tonight we took my mom (who is in town for a long weekend) there for dinner.  For quite awhile, a menu item known as the "heart attack burger" has taunted me.  Two 1/2 lb patties.  4 slices of bacon.  6 slices of cheese.  I've never ordered it...until tonight.  This is a picture that still doesn't really do it justice, but you CAN see clearly that it is easily the size of my 8 year old daughter's head.  The server told me that a 13 year old girl finished one the other day, so from that point, it was on.  And yes, I ate the whole thing.  No 13 year old girl is going to upstage me in a heart attack burger eating contest. <burp>

Picture of the Day - Doggy Daycare

Once a week, we take Bella to a local kennel to spend the day playing with a bunch of other pups.  She really seems to enjoy going, and it always wipes her out the rest of the evening, which is nice.  I snapped this picture about 5 seconds too late, after a mad rush of dogs came streaming into the play room from the outside.  Still, the black dog on the right either looks really happy or like he is going to eat the other dogs.  And look at all of those waggy tails.  Good times.

Picture of the Day - Soup for Me!!!!

I have awesome friends.

Sometimes they bring turkey soup.

This will be gone soon.

Picture of the Day - The Moon

One of my friends announced on Facebook this evening "Stop what you're doing.  Go out and look at the moon.  Now".  Since I was between martial arts classes, I did stop what I was doing and went out to look.  It was at least very close to full, if not full, and looked really cool.  My phone camera apparently sucks at taking pictures of the moon, so what you see above is what the moon would probably look like if you were staring at it from beneath a pool covered with plastic wrap.  So take my word for it...it looked cool tonight.  When you bump up the quantity of pictures posted to "one a day", the quality will sometimes be very lacking.  Like today. :)

Picture of the Day - The Scenery

I was out and about this morning and happened to catch the new snow on the taller mountain peaks to the west.  This shot is only a couple of miles from my house and is Longs Peak over a large sheet of ice known as Union Resevoir.  Lots of birds in this area, and very often one can see a bald eagle or two flying around.  This is one of the many things I love about living in Colorado...the scenery never gets old.  My phone camera doesn't do it any justice, but it really is amazing.

Picture of the Day - Me Time

Aaron is spending the night at a friend's house.  Kathy and Becca are at another friend's house watching a movie.  I just finished with a massage, grabbed some sushi takeout, and came back to an empty house where I could watch the Avs on one TV and the Saints/Lions game on the other.  The Avs are getting their butts whooped, but can you hear that??  Me either, there isn't anyone else here.  Great day.

Picture of the Day - Puppy Love

I was up doing laundry today, and when I opened my bedroom door to come back downstairs, these two hit me with a total "busted" pose.  Guess I'm glad they get along so well.  What could possibly go wrong?
