Game of cards

Posted on April 17, 2013 by paulamahla • Leave a comment

I’m about to write a blog entry about a card game. Yes seriously. This either means I have completely lost it or I’m writing about the best card game ever. My vote is the latter, and hopefully you agree too! Lately my life has seriously been benefitting from a lot of cabin time in Grand … Continue reading »

Blame it on the altitude

Posted on October 22, 2012 by paulamahla • Leave a comment

The only thing better than living in Colorado would probably have to be when my non-Colorado friends come to visit me. It’s kind of my personal mission to make all of the people in my life love this state as much as I do. I mean how could you not?! My latest victim was my … Continue reading »

Opposite day

Posted on September 5, 2012 by paulamahla • 1 Comment

This isn’t going to be an entry about how I spent Labor Day trying stand-up paddling, rock climbing, going on an intense hike or kayaking. Although I so would do all of the above. No, this is an entry about how I spent my Labor Day doing absolutely nothing and it was exactly what I … Continue reading »

The best time of the year

Posted on May 31, 2012 by paulamahla • Leave a comment

It’s that wonderful time of year again – the beginning of summer BBQ season! I went for about six years between high school and college without living in an actual house. I ended that streak, thankfully, last November when I moved into a cute, little bungalow with my friend Gracie. Houses are awesome for many … Continue reading »

DC chilling

Posted on May 23, 2012 by paulamahla • 6 Comments

“DC really only started becoming cool like five years ago,” my friend Liz explained as we ate red velvet cake at Founding Farmers restaurant in Washington DC this past Saturday.  I have no what DC was like pre-2008, but I was definitely impressed with how much fun I had during my brief time in the … Continue reading »

Virginia rocks

Posted on May 22, 2012 by paulamahla • 6 Comments

Living in Colorado I am pretty spoiled with stunning natural beauty on a regular basis. It’s a hard state to beat. I mean my casual after work runs involve this view: Mount Falcon sunset trail run. Or what I like to call Thursday night. However, I am happy to report that Virginia now ranks highly … Continue reading »

Railroad revival

Posted on May 15, 2012 by paulamahla • Leave a comment

I think it’s going to take me all summer to recover from May 2012. I’m currently on my third consecutive weekend of travel, and I’m not done yet. This post is currently coming to you from a train leaving Washington, DC heading towards Charlottesville, Virginia. Yes, the train has Wi-Fi, and it’s totally the greatest … Continue reading »

Turning in my house key

Posted on May 13, 2012 by paulamahla • 4 Comments

The beauty of living nine hours away from my mom’s house is that I can decide to drive there on a whim. The downside of living nine hours away from my mom’s house is that I can decide to drive there on a whim. I don’t know if you’ve had the extreme pleasure of driving … Continue reading »

All good things involve wine

Posted on April 12, 2012 by paulamahla • 5 Comments

If you ask me to do anything involving crafts and wine, there is no way I am going to say no.  Just an FYI.  When my friend Lynne asked me last week if I wanted to do a Canvas and Cocktails night with her and some other Twitter friends (I already blogged about how much … Continue reading »

Paula and the boys

Posted on March 11, 2012 by paulamahla • 1 Comment

Somehow I feel like I always end up hanging out with boys.  Like this past week, when I spent two days at a condo in Breckenridge with six guys.  Good thing I grew up with two older brothers. It all started when my friend Andy mentioned that his band, Digital Beat Down, was planning on … Continue reading »
