Cranberry or Pineapple?? Part 2

[Jrsy Boy]

Jrsy - what are some good breweries we can take Chris's brother too? He is coming out on Wednesday and his only request is to go to some "good" breweries. We will take him on Wednesday and Thursday before we get the girls for the weekend.

Breweries or brewpubs? Does he want to do brewery tours and visit tasting rooms or go to a bar that brews their own beer? And how far are you thinking of traveling - downtown? Boulder? Lyons?

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Both brewpubs and Breweries would work. I don't want to go to Coors or Budweiser.

Downtown would be fine, Boulder would be okay, Ft. Collins okay, but Lyons probably not. What is in Lyons out of curiousity?

Oskar Blues is in Lyons. Great restaurant, brew pub and music.

Downtown Denver: Rock Bottom, Wynkoop, Breckenridge, Flying Dog, Great Divide (these are all brew pubs, but some may offer tours of their brewing operations).

Boulder: Avery, Twisted Pine & Boulder Beer are all Boulder breweries with tasting rooms. Mountain Sun and Southern Sun are brew pubs in Boulder.

Ft. Collins: New Belgium and Odells are the best known breweries, other than AB. Coopersmith's is the best known brew pub.

I would be surprised if everyone of these doesn't have a website, so I'd start on Google and see what you can learn directly from each place.

Time to vent...

My first stressful day of this tax season was today. I got up this morning early and did my treadmill and this morning was good, but then I rushed home at lunch to make a quick sandwich so I could work half-way through lunch and get OT. So, by this afternoon I was pretty tired. Well, we have a new accountant, she has never been through tax season. She's really smart and very, very sweet. I am pretty much one of the middle accountants in our firm and my office is right across from hers. So, she comes to me a lot for help. I really love to help, but here I was trying to do my work, then a client calls me, this client tells me she is alone in her office and wanting to talk me through something. But, her other phone kept ringing and she kept having to put me on hold for oh 5 minutes at a time. Then of course the new accountant is coming in and out of my office with questions the whole time. Finally I told the client to call me tomorrow when she had someone to answer the phone and I would walk her through it. By 4:30 I told the new accountant I would just help her tomorrow. I love her to death and I didn't want to sound grouchy to her. I was sooo done mentally. AGgghhh, now I'm cooking dinner and Shawn is coming by to bring me some movies. I love hanging out with him but I just feel like going to bed. I don't think he planned on staying a long time anyway. Ahhhh I can't wait to be in my bed tonight.

Marcie - that sounds like a bad day, very frustrating. Hang in there. I hope you have a better day today. I was very frustrated at work yesterday also. I was slammed and my coworker was not and she sits right across from me socializing and giggling on the phone and it was driving me crazy! She never works very hard and no one ever goes to her or gives her projects because they know she won't do it and it always gets pushed on me. I lover her to death by I was so busy and it wasn't letting up and she always preaches that we need to step up and help each other, she sure didn't get off the phone to help me out.

Jrsy - thank you so much for that list of brewpubs and breweries.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Marcie, hope your day is going better. Hugs.

Hey everyone.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Good morning. I think we have already hit our high today, 15 degrees. Not much snow yet but they are saying 1-3 inches.

I think Chris and I have picked our DJ. One more big thing left and that is flowers.

 

[ImMarcik]

Flowers are fun.

It's 45 here and that's our high. It's pouring down raining too. I went to the gym last night but I was too tired to get up this morning. I will catch up with my treadmill tonight. How are you doing with working out Heidi?

Hey Selena! How is your working out going?

I think I'm going to take Aerial to the doctor today. Her throat hurts and she thinks it could be strep.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Marcie - I have been so bad with working out this week, I haven't done it at all. I have spent my time after work preparing the house for more company today. I had to go grocery shopping one night and then cleaning the house, then last night I spent it cooking. Tonight company comes in and doesn't leave until Sunday and I don't want to be rude and take off for an hour so I guess I will have to start on Monday when things get back to normal.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Strep is going around. I know a few people who have had it. My throat is a little scratchy but not sore. It has been scratchy for the last few days. I hope Aerial feels better.

 

[Jrsy Boy]

Jrsy - thank you so much for that list of brewpubs and breweries.

You're welcome; hopefully it comes in handy. If it does, have one for me.

Our high is supposed to be 55....... I do know we are supposed to have a front come through and tomorrow the high is supposed to be 45....

I prefer the 60's this time of year!!!

I'll have a few for you!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I'll have a few for you!

I'm sure she will!

Hi Selena, nice of you to pop in with a quick hello!

Marcie, strep is going around here. Hoping no strep makes it to your house!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Chris's brother just made it in. He called me and told me that they were on their way home but are going to stop for a few beers first. (and let the drinking begin!!! atleast until we get the girls on Friday)

I will be thinking of you!! Could be interesting!! No really, I think Jerry is terrific. I was impressed with him when I met him at WDW!

Sorry I have not been around much lately. The cold last week had me down. Then a stomach bug got me this weekend. I am just now getting over it.

I have lost all my cruise weight. But thing that is due to the bug. I was so good trying last week but realized without help in the house I can not just go on a normal diet. I have to get serious. I tried to go on my version of a low carb diet but then the stomach bug got me. I have had to eat applesauce, crackers and bananas for the last few days.

Anyway I have 5 lbs more to go. I know those are going to be the hard ones though.

I have to admit I have not worked out like I wanted to though. Being sick has really zapped my energy. I have worked out 3 times in the last week and a half. Not good enough. I am hoping to do some exercise tomorrow. Our school system just closed the schools for tomorrow. Suppose to get a bit of ice. We had a young girl die a few years back while she was driving to school in snow and now they do not take any chances so we close for the risk now. We have not even seen any wet weather yet.

Marcie, I have not read back but I hope you are ok.

Jrsy, love the bug. Too cute.

Sandy, miss you too anlong with everyone else.

I will do better about posting. I have had the funk lately but I feel better. I think I might throw my husband's XBOX Live out the window but I am feeling better than I was last week.

Selena - glad you are feeling a little better, that is such a bummer you got 2 rounds of sickness.
