chalk art at its finest




yet another reason to love colorado (this blog should seriously be on the colorado promotions page huh?) - the sidewalk chalk art festival. um, hello - how could i not go? the paintings were awesome. you've all gotten that email of all the 3d sidewalk art chalk guy and stuff, yeah - imagine that live and in person right on our very own larimer street. it was dreamy. of course, it was about a bamillion degrees outside (i'm pretty sure that means one million times one billion) but the artists probably weren't too hot. i mean sure, they were pretty much lying on the bajillion (one billion times one...jillion...) degree pavement for two days straight, but they sat on little carpet squares, which i'm thinking probably counter-acted the heat. carpet squares are said to have that kind of healing power i hear.



there was a little kid section where the kiddies could practice their own sidewalk chalking. we of course had to get in on this action to see if carpet squares really are heat reducers (they aren't by the way) our artwork was hands down better than any of the little kids' stuff. blew them out of the water.




it was maybe funny that my boss was there with his family and saw me on my carpet square in the kiddie section...i asked him if he was glad he hired me since my work was better than any of the kids' there...he didn't answer me



another plus about the chalk art festival was the naked children. i'm so glad we're raising the next generation to be even less reserved than we are. thank you sidewalk chalk art for helping us evolve.

i have the cutest puppy ever









even though he sounds like chewbacca when he yawns and wakes me up by biting my face. (i'm told this is not cause for concern, but it is rather concerning to wake up seeing a pair of teeth coming right for you)

reason number 8,259 why i love colorado - the colorado breastfeeding task force. meghan found this flyer downtown (bless her soul). in case you're not one for reading fine print, or print in green clouds, i'd like to point out this phrase:

"come help set a national breastfeeding record for the most mom's breastfeeding at one time!!!!"

that's code for - thousands of exposed women and suckling children will be sitting in a park in downtown denver in broad daylight. i don't even know where to begin.

my other favorite part is this: "events for all ages." i'd probably rather not see any 80-year old ladies trying to breastfeed something, but maybe that's just me.

now don't get me wrong, i'm all for breastfeeding - but beyond getting a bunch of ogling teenage boys to gather in one area, I just can't see the point to this event. what's going to happen if they get over 1,000 women there? with one unified sucking sound will the world realign immediately stopping global warming, world hunger and teletubbies? that would be worthwhile
