THE NITTY GRITTY
HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Friday, again

DateFriday, April 29, 2016 at 04:59PM

Things I'm thinking about this snowy/rainy Friday...

1. I'm not happy about this weather. Nope. Not at all. It's gray and icky and cold outside, and I want to boycott wearing coats and jackets already. The only glimmer of happiness about this spring storm is that I got to wear my new yellow rain boots that I found on clearance a week or so ago:

Aren't they fun?!

2. I saw Gilderoy just a bit ago! I was worried that he'd gone missing since I hadn't seen him for a couple days. :) To explain...Gilderoy is what I named the solitary goose who's taken to wandering our neighborhood. We're pretty sure that poor Gilderoy is missing some marbles. We've seen him actually fall off the curb when walking. He likes to mosey across the street and stop traffic. In any case, he's still there. :) 

3. I'm making cookies now. Because I can. 

That is all. :)
