I went snowboarding for the first time.



As you can see, I am sporting a very nice board designed by my hot boyfriend. It is accentuated by my top-of-the-line bindings and super warm and functional AND fashionable jacket, thank you Col & Soe.My goggles have rhinestones all over them and my boots have fun stripes. Can you tell that my biggest motivation for getting out there finally was the chance to show off all of my hot gear?

Well, I looked great, and I actually enjoyed myself! I've always considered myself to be a "slow sports" person. I like yoga, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, hiking. Activity that allows you to enjoy the scenery without worrying about cracking your skull. Canoeing, swimming, running, you get the idea.

I took a lesson, and that was my saving grace. I fell a few times, but not badly. I made it down the bunny slope in one piece. (Albeit including a short break halfway down; my quads were killing me!!!!) I'm really looking forward to the next time, I wish my wallet felt the same way...

In other news, I am anticipating the fast approaching trip home to VT. Someone asked me where I was from the other day, and when I told him, he responded with "You Escaped!" Escaped?! This moron has obviously never visited the most magical state in America, and I say good riddance! If you please, Sir, do not bother going there! I have now resided in all four corners of this broad country, and include many interior areas in my list of previous addresses, and none come close to delivering the quality of life that you can have in Vermont. Granted, I am biased. I have Maple Syrup running through my veins...

I can't wait. I'm going to meet my new favorite niece. I'm going to be able to congratulate in person my favorite new brother-to-be and sister. I get to see my friends and mummy and papa, and make Emmo hot coffee every morning. And, since they are getting a snow blast right now, I'll get to go SNOWSHOEING!!!!!!!!
