It's almost time for the state of the union address...
....pick your overused phrase/word and your drinks.
I suggest "economy" "stimulus" or some variant thereof. "Terrorism" or "Terrorist" are also acceptable choices for likely alcohol poisoning.
I need a nerf football to throw at the TV and a dog who can fetch it and actually bring it back to me.
*meh*
Went Skiing today. Skied lots. Left as it was getting crowded again (closer to 4:45 in the afternoon). I'm pointing straight downhill rather than going perpendicular to the mountain like I always did. It's really noticeable because when I'm pointing straight down (and cutting side to side) I get going ridonkulously fast. Luckily I can cut off speed easily. I fell once today trying to ski backwards. It was funny, I laughed - it didn't hurt, really. I'm getting comfortable enough to *try* skiing backwards, which is good. I saw some guy just spinning around in circles down the hill as I was going up the lift and I *really* want to be able to do that at some point. It looked so fun! I'm also understanding the whole "drag your shoulder/touch your elbow to the uphill side" thing on the turns - doing that really forces you to turn your torso in the direction of the turn. It's also kind of cool to be leaning down so much. Fun all around!
I'm going skiing again tomorrow and then dropping them off for a stone grind/tune. Since I asked the guy in the shop which tune was best to get my skis all leveled out/cleaned up and said I'd be back tomorrow for it, he gave me the wax today for free. That was awesome - he didn't have to do that. I totally love the guys in the ski shop at Mt. Wachusett - they've been great to me every time I've been in (more than once now). They'll also have the skis ready for me by the time I go back on Thursday again.
Mysterious aside #1817: Three is most certainly the magic number. Last night proved that for me. :)
Whee.
