Ski Trip 2010

This past weekend was not only Valentine’s day weekend and Chinese New Year’s; but for a few of us, this was the 10th annual ski trip. And because mother nature decided to bring her fat foot into the works, we’re now down to only two of us that has made every trip to date. Who knows, maybe next year I’ll be the one that misses it. Regardless, it was a good trip. We had a good number of new additions to the trip’s roster, and we made our first return to a house we’ve previously stayed.

So damn tired…

I need another weekend to recover from my weekends. Dinner and a bar on Friday; Thai food lunch, home made dumplings and homemade chocolate mousse on Saturday; followed by skiing, NFC/AFC Championship games, and a family dinner on Sunday. I’m almost glad to be at work so that I can use this time to recover before starting this all up again come the next weekend.
