Look at this place! An April evening in Boulder is one of the most wonderful experiences in the world. Each Spring I wait for that crossover moment when all of the sudden I realize that I’m no longer chilly and everything about Boulder is making me smile…and tonight it finally happened!

If you’re looking for a wonderful lifestyle change Chris and I are renting our Inman Park Condo for $1100 / month. Listen up all you people in Boulder who keep fussing about finding love. Here’s your chance to move to Atlanta for a year, find a sweetie who isn’t an uber athlete (or a ski bum living on someone’s sofa), and then take them back to B-town for a happily ever after…worked for Chris!
Here’s the ad along with more photos (a little blurry due to crummy Andriod technology). PS, if you’re clicking over from Craigslist we tell you to contact “MJ” for Mrs. Jones. People never believe my name is Spice.

Bees packages are approx 10,000 bees (5 lbs). These are from 2011. Because of cool temps they spent 3 days in the house - yes it is as creepy as it sounds!
I think most of you (all 3 of you) know that Chris and I are beekeepers. I like to fuss that this is actually Chris’ hobby yet I’m the one stuck wrangling 300,000 feisty Italians because he ended up working a long show instead of attending the beekeeping classes (insert breath to accommodate poor sentence construction) but in all honesty I LOVE being the queen bee of our little “ranch” (cracking the whip and making them produce MORE honey… I’m like Cruella DeVille except my coat is made of bee wings!) and I’m tickled to death with my latest role as the local “BEE LADY!!!!!” when it comes to frantic calls about swarms forming in the middle of backyard BBQ’s. The way people react to my cowboy boots and cardboard box when they’re expecting a frazzled ex-hippy in a hazmat suit with a butterfly net is pretty funny. I’m sure we’ll be catching a few swarms this summer so I’ll keep you posted on the fun.

How fabulous is the face slap?! I’m one of those Sophia Loren types who wants women to still be able to slap rude men across the face. Did I type that out loud? Ooops! I absolutely love the guy’s shocked expression after she whacks the living daylights out of him for giving a double take on her long and lean tires… as if she was the most beautiful calculator he’d ever seen.
But seriously, who can blame him? Even I’m willing to admit that I can’t take my eyes off of this woman. Seeing her and the way she’s dressed has done more for my fitness resolutions then all of Rodney Yee’s Yoga tapes combined! And doesn’t it make so much more sense to have a High Fashion Italian Vixen in a Fiat commercial then JLo?
In all seriousness, from the casting to the script to the wardrobe to the look and feel of the entire spot, this is possibly an all time favorite for me!
Speaking of Italian Vixens, here’s a little O-mage (Homage) to the most beautiful woman on earth!
