The Before:
Uneventful.
The Voyage:
Good down to Denver, mostly dry and only cold. Yaaay.
Bad up to Wyoming -- 60mph gusts up 'til Casper. Times like this when I really do appreciate small cars and their lower centers of gravity. It's no fun being pushed around the highway like a giant, Detroit-steel punching bag.. And then we had a New Year's party with sushi and Trivia Pursuit. Up until 3 cleaning. Woot.
(The In-Between:)
I can never go wrong with A-Basin, 5inches of powder and an almost flawless day of skiing. And some black diamonds.
I can also never go wrong with money, giant after-season Christmas shopping where more presents for others (and myself, of course) are found, and speed limits above 40mph. Yay for poker, more shopping and the most badass hat ever in Boulder.
I can, however, go without bitchy stepmothers and an irritating weiner dog named George.
Always has to be a pay-off.
The After:
FAFSA paperwork, scholarship scrounging, belated-Christmas-present-drop-off.
No New Year's Resolutions, because I find them silly. The best resolutions come when I'm not expecting them.
AND , FINALLY, PRESENTS
