Hoppy Easter

Weekend was decent. Left work a little early Friday, packed up my gear, dropped my dog off at my former roommate's house, picked up GTIAGO, and headed to Steamboat Friday evening. It was a great drive. The scenery on that route is just awesome.

Stopped in Silverthorne for food and checked into our hotel about 7. Made a run into town and spent the rest of the night drinking mead, visiting the hot tubs upstairs, you know, stuff like that. Slept in Saturday morning (because we can, I mean, what's the point of slopeside accommodations if not for that?) and spent the day alternately snowboarding and visiting the hotel room to add/remove clothing and/or grab beer. It alternately was sunny, whiteout-snow, and raining. It was hard to dress appropriately for that.

Went out for a really nice dinner that night (Italian) and had a bottle of wine. Had a brief moment of Skankojama texting drama but resolved it pretty quickly, and moved onto the hot tubs once again. Had an excellent breakfast at Creekside yesterday morning and got back just in time for Easter dinner with GTIAGO's family and family friends. I was all nervous but it was actually really, really fun, and the food was awesome.

Now I am tired and feeling really fat. Um, that's about it. Totally awesome weekend. How was your EASTER?!

No Paper Glasses For You

This is me, driving home from the eye doctor in my ski goggles for the simple reason that my optometrist doesn't have those funky little paper glasses to give away! WTF?!



Yeah, and I have huge effing pupils anyway so I was blinded...woke up yesterday morning and promptly tore my last contact lens. Been rocking the librarian look with my glasses ever since and got into the eye doctor ASAP yesterday afternoon. I had no sunglasses that would fit over my actual glasses, so the goggles were my best bet...guess I am glad I left them in my car for so long.

Definitely got some weird looks on the drive home. Work clothes and goggles don't really vibe.

Happy St. Patrick's day, yo! I am so not wearing green today and if anyone pinches me, I'll shank them. I AM going out later in Boulder and wearing my green shirt, though. Rock on.
