Skiing for the Day

Eric and I went skiing for the day to marmot. It was pretty good conditions, nice and sunny for most of the day... It was our first ski trip this year.

me at the end of the day, exhausted

me all bundled up for the wind at the top of the mountain!

Here is eric doing a jump

on the chairlift, eric was kinda freaked because he thought I was gonna drop the camera...

Oh Sarg...

The other day I was having a bath. i was trying to relax but Sgt Pepper kept trying to get close to the candles to investigate them. I had to keep shooing him away. Next thing I know he was right over the candles and his whiskers were melting away. Half his whiskers are half as long. It even smelled like burning. What a cat...

I dont have my camera so I can't show you a picture.

Boys will be boys

I haven't seen Eric since he got his christmas present...

(I'm exaggerating only slightly...)

I opened one of my gifts early...

I couldn't wait...

eric let me...

They are grenade gloves, aren't they hilarious. They are supposed to look like grenades.

5 reasons why I need one more week!, 5 reasons why I want Christmas tomorrow!

1. I'm still not done my christmas shopping....Yikes!
2. I dont know if I can brave the Christmas Crowd anymore to get those presents bought
3. So much to do, so little time.
4. I have 6 christmas dinner things, some occuring at the same time
5. I'm falling behind in my other responsiblities (cleaning my house)

1. Not everyone will get everyhting I had in mind for them -- Who cares!
2. NO MORE CHRISTMAS CROWDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. No more deadlines
4. Soon the madness and overeating will be over, and I can relax
5. I can catch up on my other responsiblities....

crystal meth kitten

I thought surgery was supposed to settle my crazy cat down

no so,

he is still as wild as ever

i have the scars and fresh scratches to prove it

he was wild from the minute he walked into the apartment after surgery.

he attempted to eat erics lunch, sweet and sour meatballs, for a welcome home dinner.

I figure his mum was on drugs while he was in the womb.

The day has finally arrived...

Sgt Pepper is having surgery today. I actually had a dream that Sgt Pepper died because he choked on his vomit during surgery. He is getting his cathood cut off.... Is it normal to feel bad as the owner?

- apartment living -

I'm annoyed with the snow shovelling being done in my apartment parking lot. When the big tractors come, if your car is in your parking stall, you are stuck there for several hours. Also, your parking stall does not get shoveled and you actually get a pile of snow and that back of your car. They do not give you any warning, you just hear the sound of them rumbling around the lot. Usually around 10-11 at night. I could barely get in and out of my stall, so the other night, after our christmas party eric shovelled out our stall. I can't imagine how much work it was because it was all packed down and icy. He didn't get up till midnight!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

I am getting pretty excited for Christmas. I did a lot of Christmas shopping and wrapped everything up yesterday. When Eric got home from work he was excited to see packages under the tree and he dug through to find his. He was trying to guess what it was, shaking it, smelling it, anything to get a clue. He was just like a little boy...

At the grocery store today, I spotted something and I couldn't resist. A little Christmas stocking for Sarg. It is after all, his first christmas with us, or at all for that matter. I want to make it special...

"It's me or the patch"

It had to go.

Eric asked nicely

it stayed

Eric begged and pleaded

it stayed

Finally an ultimatum

I had to choose

Goodbye Patch

Atleast for now...

You Either Hate it or you Love it...

Eggnog!! I had my first glass of the season. It was delicious. So thick, So sweet. Of course I bought the healthiest I could find, but it still is so bad for you. I stick to small glasses. Do you hate it or love it?

Holiday decorating

I had decided that I was not getting a tree this year and my decorations would be very limited. I did not feel like investing money in decorations and that I would buy them after christmas when they will probably be 90% off. Yesterday when i got home from work, Eric had bought a mini tree and some decorations and set it up! Not only that, but he also had two gifts sitting under the tree waiting for me to open! What a great early christmas!

Sorry about the picture, I couldn't figure out how to change it

Poor Eric

Eric works making cabinets for those who didn't know. A couple of days ago at work he was using a machine that drills holes into wood. He accidently drilled into his finger, instead of the wood. He drilled to the end of his nail. Here is the aftermath. These are pictures taken by erics phone, so the quality isn't great.
