Firefly Friday continues!

Another Firefly Friday night out. It was a good night and one that I needed. Took a 4-hour nap this afternoon after a wonderful morning and emotional afternoon.

Blursday

This day was a complete blur. Resolution #7 is officially broken, that much I know for sure. :(

Angry 5 miles

Got my ass chewed out at work and ran an angry, fast-paced 5 miles during lunch. Grr!

Tiramisu and fried green tomatoes

Mmmmmmm!!!!!!!

(I'm home. Flight was on-time. Ran into a dear friend returning to Colorado as I was coming home. Conference call at the luggage carousel while the fire alarm is going off was a terrible idea. My father is a maniac driver. The roads are fine but there is no way I'm getting up that hill. Refreshing shower to clean away the grime. Sort laundry and it looks like a massive trash heap. Chick Pea came over with minty-lemon-tea-honey-bourbon drank and nommy food, including but not limited to the aforementioned title of this post. Mmmmmmm!!!!!!! Best ep of The Walking Dead ever! What great story telling (I mean, in a television setting with actors portraying characters based off a comic book)! Made a hilarious mess that required a full change of clothes. Thank you load of black clothes in the dryer! Tried to sleep but failed again.)

A-Basin

My snowboarding bonanza came to a close with a half-day of snowboarding at A-Basin. We hit the Montezuma bowl until lunch, where I got kinda hammered on 48 ounces of Pabst Blue Ribbon tall boys, at elevation and on an empty stomach. Woohoo!

So, I learned something about snowboarding in deep powder today. When you hit powder at high speeds it is unwise to make hard stops. Every time I did my tail would catch, I would lose my edge, and the mountain would flip me head over heels. I smacked my head pretty good once and then followed that initial impact with at least a couple of white-out cartwheels. I had to shake that one off for a bit. I spoke with theKim about it and she explained what I had already figured out - don't do that. :)

Ready to head home tomorrow although I heard the town is getting iced and snowed on by Winter Storm Titan. Here is hoping that the snow plows and de-icers are on their A game tonight and tomorrow.

Breckenridge

Spent the entire day snowboarding at Breckenridge. The conditions were nearly perfect. The slopes were empty until well after lunch. And the drinks during lunch were strong (and our server was super-duper cute). I had the best run of my life right after lunch. I felt like I was just gliding down the mountain. We made it back, started a fire, hung out in the hot tub, and now are just chilling on the couch in the living room. Will went back to Keystone for some more night skiing. Oh, the youth. It's going to be an early night for everyone. And I need it... I barely slept last night. My thoughts were racing, I sweated through my sleepwear and changed clothes, and I just listened to my heart pound in my ear for hours. A good night of sleep would be divine.
