too much
Skiing has been incredible....those of you who have been wondering where I have been on LJ well you should know where...skiing when I can. Now that my ankle is healed from my injury a month and a half ago i have been skiing the last 4 weekends. The mountains got a late start with snow this year. It seemed like we were ahead in Mass because of the blizzard in January but since February NH has finally gotten lots of snow. There has been a new storm every single week that has brought at least a foot of fresh powder for each weekend. This has been my best month of skiing prob ever as far as the conditions have been.
Lets see so what has been going on. I spent my Feb vacation week in NH> i headed up on the sat with Sue because she was home. We met Alicia, Linda, and Beth at perks for some girl time and for her to show off her engagement ring then we headed to NH. That sat we went to some parties. the dating game and the blue party at night. they were fun. I danced away all nite and it was great therapy for my newly being single again. Sunday we didnt ski because our passes were blacked out. I went to meet my parents at their condo and went snowmobiling with my dad and my aunt and uncle for a couple of hours. That was my first trip out this winter. from there I went back to Sue's where we went to the chili fest and met up with Andrew ahis entourage of 14 guys (he was having guys weekend). The chilifest was a nice low key party. Eat chili, drink beer, and socialize. I spent alot of time talking to one of andrews friends who I felt I connected with. He was intriguring to talk to and I will be seeing him in 2 weeks skiing. Maybe we will talk some more....
Kristi and Mike headed up sunday nite. Monday it snowed alot. Sue and I snowshoed while kristi and mike learned to snowboard. That nite we hung out the house and had a low key night watching a movie. Sue left during the day. Tuesday I went off skiing to enjoy the new powder. Wow is all I need to say. I went back to the house and Kristi, mike and i headed out to snow shoe. That day I definetly got a work out. Later krisit and I shopped the outlets then later I showed them the Parka Pub for dinner, my favorite restaurant in the area. Wed I skiied again while they snowshoed again. After that they got ready to leave and I packed up and headed to spend two nites with my parents at their condo. Thursday I did nothing much. I slept, relaxed my muscles in the hottub, and took a ride to walmart with my parents...exciting day.
The vacation still continues. Friday I got a lazy start then headed back to the valley to ski at attitash for the second half of teh day. I needed to then kill sometime to stopped at the outlets to spend more money. Next I went to my ski club and met up with a group to go out to eat at Flat breads...the best pizza ever. I stayed at the club that nite. Sat I didnt ski because the pass was blacked out again. During the day John (the cook) and I went shopping while most people skiied. Then when people got back from skiing some of us went to the Chocoalte party at another club. I stayed sober since i decided to head home that nite. I ate at the clubm, then decided that I needed to head home a day early to go back to the reality of the real world again.
It was such a good week off. I did so much and actually barely spent any money. Back to work has been overwhelming over the last week because I now have so much to do and keep missing days. Last tues was a snowday, wed i had a prof. development class, yesterday i had the National art education conference in boston, and then now that i have been back a day, I have a half a day with students tomorrow. then friday i finish my prof development seminar so will have another day off of teaching. Its been really inconsistent and hard to get back into a routine. I am kinda looking forward to routine so i can stop feeling like I have so much to do and not enough time.
ok enough.. i meant to barelyt write anything and then i ended up writing way too much....
