More About My Small Skiing Adventure...

After I got the right fit for my boots and got them snapped into my skis (I seemed to have some initial difficulty with this) I was ready to tackle to smallest mound (AKA the bunny slope). The first challenge was getting up on the tow rope. No one told me that the tactic behind this was to get the plastic pulling device attached to the rope snuggly on your back so it could do all the work. I, unfamiliar with the entire process, instead opted to hold onto the plastic wedge for dear life as it slowly tugged me up the slope, all the while trying to remember Michelle's words of "Try not to cross your skis!". By the time I got up my arms were still tense and I was sweating more but at least I was up the little hill. Everyone in my group then proceeded to tell me that it was time to go back down. My response was "Are you f*cking kidding me?"

Adventures of a first time skier

As Joanne so eloquently hinted at, leave it up to me to date, of all people, a ski pro. Yeap, I have to laugh at the irony of this because as most everyone knows, I lack a basic necessity of balance. However, I decided that you should probably try to give everything a shot, even if just once. More to come....

The good news is that I did not end up in a body cast! Many guessed that would be my fate. Yes, skiing is hard, but I also learned that my attitude would control either the success or failure that I had on the slopes that night. For instance, at the top of a bigger hill (and by bigger I mean slightly larger than the bunny slope) during my second attempt I was starting to get way aggravated. Which warranted the pretty appropriate responses of "Thank God this was not our first date or I do not think there would've been a second" and "Are you ready, bitchy pants?". Those remarks didn't help at the time but they did, eventually, put things into perspective....

The Confession of A Dork...

Did you ever have the thought that maybe you were hanging in acquaintance with someone that was way cooler than you? Me, being both a closet and upfront nerd, am contemplating this arrangement...

State of the Confusion

Bush showcasing a black basketball dude and not only mentioning that AIDS exists but that he also plans on delegating more funding for research. Too late, W, you have lost the house and senate.

Snow Blues

I know, I should be happy that we have been spoiled this long without the white stuff but running in the snow just plain blows. I was slippin and sliding all over town tonight. How I long for the days of 55 degree December days once again...

So Much Better Than....

Last week. Things are turning around, folks! Full speed ahead!

WORDS THAT I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY..

Come on Monday. Where the fuck are you? After this week I really do not think that anymore can be thrown at me. I guess I also have two choices; to be a total bitch and never trust people or to carry on with a positive attitude. Aiming for the second my friends. Aiming for the second.

"I keep a close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all the time..."

Sweet Realization

I, like I believe many others, operate under the belief that the most powerful words in human nature are "I love you" or "I am sorry". However, I think that "What f*ck was I thinking?" or "Why the f*ck did I ever waste all my time with that?" are my two new front runners. Thank you clarity. Your are my new best friend.

Things I Hope you don't get while at The Chuck E. Cheese today...

Someone near and dear to me is paying homage to the favorite place for kids to gather. This was my list of warnings...

1.) Pink eye from the giant colorful plastic ball pit-o-fun

2.) The urge to dress up like big scary furry mouse in public venues

3.) The craving to quite your current life pursuits & become a professional skee-ball player

4.) The desire to adopt 50 screaming kids in the next 25 days

5.) An uncontrollable appetite craving for super duper greasy cheese pizza that has crust which resembles cardboard

6.) A tendency to pay for sex with "tickets"

7.) An intense sugar high that you cannot come down from

***Okay, that's all I got. I hope you had fun!!!!!
