Weekend Highlights

There were lots of highlights this weekend.

Friday night I swung by Terri's place for a beer after my workout. We were actually going to bake out deserts for the ulti party at MAC's the next day, but I had a long workout and ran out of time. In the end, not a lot (read: no baking of any kind), actually happening.

The highlights of Saturday were a Christmas get together at my sister's place. It was my first Christmas function other than my work Christmas party, and it was a lot of fun.

Right after, I headed to Mary Ann's house for some good food and chats. MAC also put on a fabulous slide show of pictures from the season. Definitely a highlight. Terri's cupcakes were awesome too. (Those the cupcakes not made Friday night). The white cup cakes had out brown uniform board shorts (that I love so much), a couple had little frisbee players, and the chocolate ones had our boobie shirts, complete with jelly bean boobies. It's too bad that more folks from the team couldn't come, but Mac, Robert, Terri, Jeff, Lindsay and I had a great time. If you couldn't make the party, I ate you cupcake.

I worked out that night, since I didn't have time that morning. It ended up working out great - I was going to go for a jog, but Nat was going skating at renfrew, so I went there instead. We played an hour of shinny with some boys who could really skate. It was fun to play outside, and cool to see players so good. The rest of my workouts was strength stuff at home, which definitely does not make the weekend highlight reel.

Today I went snowboarding at COP (aka the lam-o-hill) with Jeff and Lindsay. I'm not sure why I didn't include an e, but I didn't. We had a lot of fun. It got pretty busy in the afternoon, but the conditions were pretty decent. It wasn't really icy. It was nice to go get a few turns in and see what I could remember. I'm off to Sunshine with Weaze on Wednesday, and I feel a little more confident now. Whoever said it's just like riding a bike has never been to Moab.

The lowlight (although the funniest part) of snowboarding today was the mouse. Yes, the mouse. So there we were, gearing up for snowboarding day 1, season 2. Lindsay puts here boots on and points out a place where one is uncomfortable. She decides to fix it, after debating a bit of whether or not it's worth it to take the boot off again. IT WAS A DEAD MOUSE! In her boot...ew. Nasty. Lindsay was a good sport. I'm sure the story will be on the Sill's blog, and I'm sure they will tell the story better.

I should get back to my Christmas cards. I hope your weekend was good too....whoever you are.
