I finally (!) went skiing here in Montana. And it was super duper awesome! I was really worried because it had been, like, 15 years since I last went. But, amazingly, I picked it back up right away! I went with a friend who could be a professional snowboarder, and another friend, who was relearning how to snow board. It was perfect. And my friend who took me wouldn’t let us even think about using the bunny slope. We started out with the real thing! And I didn’t fall! Well, that one time totally doesn’t count, because I wasn’t getting off the ski lift, or even moving, really… I just kinda, toppled, while trying to get on the lift. Now, who has the kind of talent to fall while getting on a lift? Me, apparently… They had to stop the lift and everything! How embarrassing!
L did pretty good for only snowboarding once before today...
Everything else is going well here in Montana. We’ve had some pretty warm weather, so all the snow has been melting. It creates a lot of dirty water that gets all over my car. It was pretty disgustingly dirty, so I finally took it somewhere to get it washed. And it was clean and silver again! And now the weather is cold, which means my car will get dirty soon. At least it was clean for a few days... Last night, I think we were -35. It hasn’t gotten above zero all morning. I know the Midwest is getting it pretty bad. I heard DFW shut down. Even Denver declared it a snow day because it was too cold. What? It’s the same temp, but Bozeman is still working. The locals tell me that they never declare snow days and cancel school, even under blizzard conditions. I think I’m going to miss snow days and the excuse not to work…
Isn't it crazy how the temperature keeps jumping up and down? Almost like Texas...
Anyway, I’m just going to stay warm and keep working! And give you a parting picture of my kitten. My dad was really sweet and gave me a wool blanket to put in my car, you know, just in case. Well, since my suitcase was too packed, my mom ended up shipping that, and a couple of other things, up to me. When I got it, I just unpacked it and left it folded on the ground, with everything else. The kitten then decided that it was his. So now I’m torn. Do I take the only blanket that he has ever used as his bed, or do I just grin and bare it, and put another blanket in my car? I think we all know the answer to that…
This is his 'don't you dare take this away from me, I will attack you' look.
