It's a hot one here so I assume she's sleeping in the cool basement. During the course of the day today I've had breakfast and I've had lunch, still no Kaya. As soon as I come back to my chair with a string cheese and I begin to open the package, she is there by my side peering up at me with her huge black, emploring eyes. <br /><br />I've never known a dog to be as obsessed with string cheese as I am. She has an uncanny radar for hearing the crisper drawer open and the plastic packaging being pulled apart. I always give her a nibble because I'm so impressed with her tenacity, perception and unrelenting gaze.brinki dinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00128468906624420216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11006566.post-63463258359438861172009-07-07T14:48:00.004-06:002009-07-07T15:03:41.122-06:00Telluride and FriendsWhat a great summer this has been so far. It's been so nice to work from home and to travel and play on the weekends with so little stress. <br /><br />I'm posting here some photos from our recent trip to Telluride for the Bluegrass Festival. It was rad. David Byrne and the cloudy mountains were just a couple of highlights. <br /><br />One day I would like to move here and open a dog grooming salon/farm stand. <br /><br />Cloud Mountains<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brinkidink/3677028626/" title="cloud mountain 2 by brinkidink, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3551/3677028626_4f726eb2e0.jpg" width="500" height="339" alt="cloud mountain 2" /></a><br /><br /><br />Red Mountains<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brinkidink/3676217133/" title="Red Mountains and Fence by brinkidink, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3541/3676217133_3f8d9aa1ce.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Red Mountains and Fence" /></a><br /><br />DB<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brinkidink/3676214437/" title="david byrne by brinkidink, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2523/3676214437_66173684ed.jpg" width="500" height="370" alt="david byrne" /></a><br /><br />You can check out the rest of the set on my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brinkidink/">flickr stream</a>.brinki dinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00128468906624420216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11006566.post-8599155053816634562009-06-30T16:57:00.003-06:002009-06-30T17:11:24.545-06:00Modern Woman<div><br /></div><div><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brinkidink/3676898112/" title="IMG_0707 by brinkidink, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2483/3676898112_1e1b5d9a7e.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="IMG_0707" /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div>The flower pots are planted, the dog groomed, the car fixed, deadlines met, lunch date done, flag decorated, white table roses bloomed, blog posted, quotes approved, gown picked, dinner planned, garden watered, wine chilled.

The couple that folds them the year before their wedding will be destined for a life of love.<br /><br />So far, we have 22 cranes. Some are a little wonky, but with 978 left to go we have plenty of room to improve our technique.brinki dinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00128468906624420216noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11006566.post-9745978213079946732009-06-05T13:57:00.008-06:002009-06-05T15:01:59.518-06:00"You Taste Just Like Glitter Mixed with Rock and Roll"<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brinkidink/3599091948/" title="pop and floss 2009 by brinkidink, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2446/3599091948_67a101ec6d.jpg" alt="pop and floss 2009" height="161" width="500" /></a><br /><br />I can't explain my recent <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">fascination</span> with pop culture princesses lately, except that perhaps I need more popping and flossing in my life.<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Brinki</span>*Dink Pop and Floss Tour 2009<br /><br />-<a href="http://www.gwenstefani.com/">Gwen <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Stefani</span></a><br />-<a href="http://fergie.blackeyedpeas.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Fergie</span></a><br />-<a href="http://tori-and-dean.oxygen.com/">Tori Spelling</a><br />-<a href="http://www.ladygaga.com/splash.aspx">Lady <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">GaGa</span></a><br />-<a href="http://www.sixgosselins.com/">Kate <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Gosselin</span> </a><br />-<a href="http://www.vh1.com/shows/charm_school/season_3/series.jhtml">Ricki Lake </a><br />-<a href="http://www.beyonceonline.com/us/home"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Beyonce</span></a><br />-<a href="http://www.popsugar.com/3230425">Kristen Stewart</a><br />-<a href="http://www.kls.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Kimora</span> Lee Simmons</a>brinki dinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00128468906624420216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11006566.post-82145809725633882542009-06-02T16:35:00.002-06:002009-06-02T16:43:16.604-06:00Dr. McGrube<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHTAQJ67a7BLdqaLIYuyp1KxyrPSv4CTose_-iD6jBFr0xRefMnepzFHpTGEs28KC4CpF7dEuMQnK6CeILUwwGrkQ8taU9QET4o7WzITCBMvKpNe5sXljM9fVCqDn33oEiS3hg/s1600-h/dr+mcgrube.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHTAQJ67a7BLdqaLIYuyp1KxyrPSv4CTose_-iD6jBFr0xRefMnepzFHpTGEs28KC4CpF7dEuMQnK6CeILUwwGrkQ8taU9QET4o7WzITCBMvKpNe5sXljM9fVCqDn33oEiS3hg/s400/dr+mcgrube.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342864433514436338" border="0" /></a>brinki dinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00128468906624420216noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11006566.post-59157463181187611262009-06-01T16:45:00.003-06:002009-06-01T16:51:12.424-06:00Snake!Dude...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcxM62rs_c2yYsWqRUtZO9oZvEHRTAYMiEwJj4Ki0jAbdhCsRIEWs_kbOi_yZF-r8Rol6utV-aEj2-lty8u8zqfwUjIT1HBNPK2QX_4a6FfoSW3c988ZqfYkqaei5BczEdXtfB/s1600-h/snake!.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcxM62rs_c2yYsWqRUtZO9oZvEHRTAYMiEwJj4Ki0jAbdhCsRIEWs_kbOi_yZF-r8Rol6utV-aEj2-lty8u8zqfwUjIT1HBNPK2QX_4a6FfoSW3c988ZqfYkqaei5BczEdXtfB/s400/snake!.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342495374561644802" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This snake was found on the trail hiking in Morrison.

To escape the gloomy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">drippiness</span> of the weather, we went to the Denver Aquarium. It was totally fun-filled with cute creatures like sea horses, jelly fish, and puffer fish. They've also got a huge shark tank with lots of big, toothy monsters swimming around and around. Those were not so cute, but entirely <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">fascinating</span>.<br /><br />However, there is only so much a grown person can take being in a public place swarming with squealing booger-pickers, so we left the mysterious depths of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">aquarium</span> and spent the rest of the afternoon in the warm and germ-free respite of our house.<br /><br />Did you know you can rent Nintendo games from Blockbuster? Lucky for us, we chose Mario Kart. Why is everything Mario does so gosh darn cute?! This game is rad.<br /><br />The cuteness continued with a viewing of <span style="font-style: italic;">Australia</span>. The movie got some bad reviews and I can understand why. "Over the Rainbow" was over the top, and why was Drover's name also his occupation? But, that little boy was adorable and I loved him. I also found myself a new nickname--Mrs. Boss. It's perfect!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="file:///Users/bmess/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><img src="file:///Users/bmess/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" alt="" />brinki dinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00128468906624420216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11006566.post-44598941369598741442009-05-20T15:29:00.002-06:002009-05-20T15:33:31.525-06:00Grow Baby, GrowWe're trying to grow a lawn in our backyard, which to this point has been a large dirt square. Growing a lawn isn't easy. It's almost like a baby. We have to feed it and water it and protect it from hungry birds and squirrels...<br /><br />Okay, a lawn is nothing like a baby.<br /><br />But, it's hard work nonetheless. I hope all this effort returns a happy, healthy little plot of grass. Poor <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Kaya</span> has to stay inside during the grass growing weeks and she's not all that happy about it. She sulks at my feet all day long, hoping for some turkey bacon scraps or a lick of my cereal bowl to fill the void.<br /><br />Along with the new lawn, we planted a vegetable garden, herb garden and flower bed. So far, everyone seems happy enough. Picture to come when it all starts to look like something other than dirt punctuated by little bits of green.brinki dinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00128468906624420216noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11006566.post-17673399487539631932009-05-18T09:59:00.002-06:002009-05-18T10:03:13.332-06:00Just Embrace ItI've been singing My Poker Face now for the last two days.

Few of my friends were into Twitter about a year ago, when I was really into it. So, I stopped following.<br /><br />With so many celebrities, politicians, and organizations tweeting now, I decided to give it another try. I wish more Denver restaurants would participate with Twitter so that I could find out about insider events and happy hour specials.<br /><br />If you have suggestions for interesting tweets to follow, leave 'em in the comments section.brinki dinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00128468906624420216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11006566.post-34593682866423927202009-04-17T11:37:00.001-06:002009-04-17T11:39:09.586-06:00Dirty Dog<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLgCQhd5q_8wcSuL_orWbMxaN3flwgSuYEPTLT1woM3BNXmqbS__zh8VjMuYQ1X9latv0ZLXHA5Ccjo6m8lEquUX6ySU2_d-7HOgYSKgKmdH0YZ-R07yxed1ilL1ghNfBRXj0m/s1600-h/Dirty+Dog.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325716234001825954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLgCQhd5q_8wcSuL_orWbMxaN3flwgSuYEPTLT1woM3BNXmqbS__zh8VjMuYQ1X9latv0ZLXHA5Ccjo6m8lEquUX6ySU2_d-7HOgYSKgKmdH0YZ-R07yxed1ilL1ghNfBRXj0m/s320/Dirty+Dog.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>After a long puddle-jumping walk in the rain.</div><br /><div></div>brinki dinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00128468906624420216noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11006566.post-77537000292063690662009-04-14T09:27:00.004-06:002009-04-14T09:38:12.244-06:00Best Brunch Ever<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRn2dR4Z2ScT8kzlpicA_vSr6uWH0h3pKg052LHc1MmrQMtdnk2968dKaDSLoke2AD9X5wNk21XWIyCO77ONaV680p1oFwa9MxzSUJYfGK76_6PfuBp2geHlZ7qsAoZ_T6LzUx/s1600-h/B&W+brunch.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324571811480282274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRn2dR4Z2ScT8kzlpicA_vSr6uWH0h3pKg052LHc1MmrQMtdnk2968dKaDSLoke2AD9X5wNk21XWIyCO77ONaV680p1oFwa9MxzSUJYfGK76_6PfuBp2geHlZ7qsAoZ_T6LzUx/s320/B&W+brunch.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div>I'm such a lucky girl. For Easter, Nick and I went to my favorite restaurant on earth--<a href="http://www.beatriceandwoodsley.com/">Beatrice and Woodsley</a>. We first stumbled upon this place by accident one night when we couldn't get in for dinner at <a href="http://www.deluxedenver.com/">Deluxe</a>, another great Denver eatery. I fell in love with the small plates of various meats and cheeses. And, all the wine comes in tiny carafes with adorable brown paper tags listing origins and flavors. </div><br /><br /><div>Walking in to B&W is like walking into an Aspen fairy grove. The lighting is yellow and warm, the seating round and intimate, and the food...</div><br /><br /><div>Brunch was a million courses of goodness highlighted by hot cross buns, shrimp and grits, potato pancakes with apples and tiny lemon cream puffs. There were pimms cups and early grey gin martinis. It was decadent and lovely--the best way to celebrate Easter, in my opinion. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>brinki dinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00128468906624420216noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11006566.post-73559705170412618432009-04-07T14:11:00.002-06:002009-04-07T14:22:46.347-06:00The Pitterpat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXorrjtzOemTHD3-pOxpmRZuC04LZpteRKEfod3p7oa8a2oxovCeUj25MM7dNANOCrP3W5281vcD_edIoIqnwihGt-_BqeD3I4-X5VFo9WwMB8VLF8WIbzvMvRxmvcTFZnrNoC/s1600-h/pingpong+foot.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXorrjtzOemTHD3-pOxpmRZuC04LZpteRKEfod3p7oa8a2oxovCeUj25MM7dNANOCrP3W5281vcD_edIoIqnwihGt-_BqeD3I4-X5VFo9WwMB8VLF8WIbzvMvRxmvcTFZnrNoC/s320/pingpong+foot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322047438339281394" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />This is week three of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">PingPong's</span> stay in medical boarding with our vet.

After a week and half more, we'll know if we have to think about surgery.

Every little thing seems insurmountable and I'm annoyed at the world. This is a ridiculous feeling for me to have right now as my life couldn't be better. I will take a deep breath and sit on an airplane for a few hours. Hopefully, on the other side will be California and rainbows.brinki dinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00128468906624420216noreply@blogger.com0
