Last Hurrah

Well folks, finally this weekend was our snowboarding last "hurrah". My first run was pretty scary, it felt like I was snowboarding on gravel for the first part of the run, then halfway down, it turned to Snoopy Snowcone Slush and was ok. We stuck it out though, getting in at least 6 runs before calling it quits and packing up Lulu. I even had my first "yard sale" and am still suffering from a pretty good case of whiplash. I won't be head-banging to any heavy metal anytime soon. Jeremy said it looked pretty painful, as he caught the last part of me hitting the snow and my goggles and hat flying in every direction. I wish I could have seen myself fall, I probably would have laughed my ass off.

It was a good season- I got to go up 7 times and finally am pretty comfortable on my snowboard. I would call that a pretty good accomplishment for 2 months' worth of work. Jeremy's even getting pretty good- he beat me down the hill a couple of times, something I'll just chalk up to gravity... Next time Calkins- next time.

Waiting for some brownies to come out of the oven. Sadly enough, they are not for me but for my poor brother who got into a horrible car accident on Sunday night. His car was totaled by some idiot 16 year old who decided good driving was jumping the median and hitting a car heading in the opposite direction and pinning it against the wall. ARG. Stupid drivers make me angry. So the brownies are for him, I'm sending him a care package with brownies and maybe a few pin-ups of Miss Kitty. That would cheer anyone up.

I've got an IQ of 124...

I guess I do. I just spent 15 minutes taking an IQ test. It says that I am an "Inspired Inventor". Hmm, I don't know about that. I do think I am often inspired, but not quite the inventor. Unless you count finding new ways to eat Cadbury Mini Eggs inventing. If I was so smart, I could figure out why I suddenly have a zit farm on my chin and why they keep popping up! ARG!

Last weekend Jeremy and I went up to Crystal Mountain to go snowboarding and man oh man was it fun. So much better than the little ant hill that I've been practicing on at Snoqualmie. Snoqualmie was great to get my confidence up, but Crystal Mountain was a great place to put my skillz and confidence to the test. Jeremy and I had a blast, but were totally pooped at the end of the day. I was even sore the next day. I wish I had a little camera I could bring with me while I was on the mountain, but unfortuanately our camera is a couple of years old and thus is huge by today's standards. Maybe for my birthday this year, I'll ask the Birthday Fairie for a teeny tiny digital camera.
