Tonya Uhlman sent me this picture of herself. I think it may have been Photoshopped... Tonya's hair is a little darker.
I read every blog that is posted on our site in an effort to improve my own blogging. I’ve noticed that some of our other bloggers provide a service that I don’t provide for our Denver readers:
Information.
Information, while necessary and useful, is boring to me and I’m really no good at gathering it up and keeping it in one place.
I hope I’m good for some laughs and inspiration now and them, but I know I never tell you what’s happening in Denver. The sad truth is I don’t usually really know about events until they are happening. I could review events that are long over and tell you how awesome they were, but I’m guessing that would be irritating.
I’m going to have to work on that.
In the meantime, don’t despair! I’ve devised a brilliant solution:
I have found some guest bloggers to help keep you informed.
(In my best announcer voice) I’d like to introduce the first of three new bloggers you will be hearing from in the Denver area.
Can I get a big hand for: Ms. Tonya Uhlman?!
Tonya describes herself as a “finder” of people and things on the internet. (Don’t think about that too long. It might freak you out.) A cyber stalker of sorts… She has the information you have been looking for and she can deliver it!
She also comes with a sassy personality, a daughter in college and huge dog. In her spare time she manages 450 apartment homes at Camden Lakeway. I know you will enjoy what she brings. This is her first installment:
What’s happening in Denver in January 2012???
January mythically is said to be the winter time of Colorado, but if you have lived here long enough you know “wait ten minutes and the weather will change!” So why shouldn’t our happenings about town be the same. Here is a list of some ideas to keep you occupied during January and perhaps see some things you might not have known to be out in your own town! Some of events are free: EVEN BETTER!
