Redemption

I found my silver lining! The awesomeness of today's skiing has vastly surpassed the suck of Thursday and Friday's work commute.

Today was by far the best experience that I've had on the slopes all year...with the possible exception of the time I spotted Jesus skiing down Peak 9 at Breckenridge. That was pretty awesome, too.

Speaking of Jesus and Breckenridge experiences....when I die I hope that one of my friends immortalizes their love of my memory in sharpie on the inside of a bathroom stall, right next where someone wrote 'Jesus is life' -- and a second someone crossed out Jesus to replace it with 'weed'.

I'll also have you know that the first time I typed that sentence it read 'if I ever die' and memory was spelled with an ie. It's been a long day and my brain is tired!

Blizzard!

It snowed a TON today in Denver. The road outside my balcony looks like an ice skating rink. Seriously. It does.

Whenever I see massive amounts of snow like this I'm reminded of The Shining. Before moving up here, that was the only way I was familiar with the concept of being snowed in. I actually remember being in the 7th grade when the film's remake came out as a television series. It was a big three day event. I watched the entire thing at my neighbor Whitney's house and just about wet my pants every night when it was time for me to walk the 20 yards from her door to mine in the dark. When there's this much snow out I half expect to see Brian Hackett from Wings jump out at me with an axe and a tepid Jack Nicholson impersonation. I don't know. My mind goes strange places sometimes.

Maybe I'll take a picture tomorrow morning before I slide to work on the ice and post it up here for you. In all honesty though, the chances of me a) getting out of bed early enough to play photographer and/or b) actually remembering that I made a halfhearted blog promise - are slim to none. My apologies to you blog followers at large. You can get on the weather channel and watch some Denver area webcams. If you're up around oh-six-hundred Mounain Standard, think of me. I'll be wrapped in a blanket and peering between my blinds, cursing not only my small car, but mother nature herself...and the plow drivers whose maps apparently don't include the large street adjacent to my complex. I'd hate to leave them out.

Irritated

With myself. For two reasons:

1) I insist on checking into any story that pops up on my facebook feed about people who annoy me. I honestly don't have a clue why I do this. While most people avoid people they don't agree with/don't get along with, I seem strangely drawn to them.

2) Although I have about 5 loads of laundry and 2 sinks of dishes to do, I decide to take on projects like organizing my desk drawers ... and uploading old pictures ... and ... blogging.

*sigh*
