Countdown To Vacation
In a week and 4 days we're off on vacation for a week.
Skiing in Colorado, woot!
Most of all I'm looking forward to seeing anachronaut and nadya_lev, I've missed them terribly the past few months. So being able to spend a couple of days with them, and with anachronaut's mother & boyfriend will be really nice.
Last weekend we went and bought the clothing gear we'll need. OMFG is it ever expensive to get ski clothing! And it's all the little things and undergarments and accessories that add up. Thankfully it's pretty much a one time investment and will last years. And having been skiing once (a whopping amount of times...) at least I know I like to do it. It'll be PreZ's first time, but I know he'll enjoy it too.
This is the jacket I got:
It's sleek and sexy and reminds me of something Uma Thurman would wear in Kill Bill. I saw it and was in love :D
We have our ski classes and lift passes and gear rental booked already. We do still need to organise daycare for Dashiell, which is something that's making me a tad nervous. Apparently it's right on the slopes so checking in on him (and letting him nurse) during lunch shouldn't be too difficult. It's just that he can be a bit difficult with feeding. There are times when he decides that you can shove the solids where the sun doesn't shine (like today, when he flat out refused to eat anything that didn't come out of a boob, and very reluctantly had some apple sauce this afternoon)... and I'm just hoping he doesn't do that while in the care of someone else.
And then of course there's the issue of napping... oh that will be such fun.
Oh well, baptism by fire I guess. Plus I'll have my phone, and they can always call.
