Sometimes, it's the little things

Right now, it's the funny little things that are making me smile most. Whether it's a message left from one of my silly friends just letting me know they still remember me even though I moved to the other side of the world, my family taking special effort to gchat with me, catching my beloved Rockies lose play on AFN, my dog refusing to be more than 6 inches from me at all times, or my husband insisting I get more ice cream even when I don't really need it, things have been put into perspective lately. I went on a search for cinnamon gummie candies at the store the other day. Haribo is a German company, so I was hoping that with the larger selection I might be in luck for a candy that was hard to find stateside. I didn't find cinnamon gummies, but I did find this:

They're Colorado gummies!!! SO FUNNY!! Color-rado is the wild wild west according to Haribo, complete with cowboys, bears, and lassos! There were no other really out there kinds, just the normal Haribo brands. But this one was pretty special!

Also, a couple of days ago I had been sharing my concern about not being properly watered at restaurants. Well, tonight we found a restaurant that brought me just plain tap water in a HUGE stein! I was a happy girl :) So happy, in fact, that I made Beau take a picture ("Really?" he says "I'm taking a picture of you drinking water?" YES!)

I was told by a friend of mine about this restaurant, and when she told me that the portions were huge, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HUGE WAS!

Please note, this is a HALF portion of the hamburger, and I had eaten a small corner already before I took the picture. You can see how far down it should go by the outline of where I scraped off the onions. B ordered the bratwurst plate and it comes with 4 sausages, just crazy! They brought us menus in English and the waitress spoke English as well, so it wasn't really too much of an adventure :) Anyway, it was fun to try out a local place.
