God rest ye merry ones

Fresh Snow
We're back and resting quietly, as I hope the rest of you are after the hectic Christmas season that always culminates in a massive pile of wrapping paper, ribbons and bows.  I've done zero after-Christmas shopping (shocker, I know) and have been spending my time relishing in the magic that is clean laundry and above 50 degree temps.

If you've been following me on Instagram, you'll have noticed that I was lucky enough to spend lots of time on the ski slopes, generally falling all over myself in an enormous POOF of powder.  And with Siri spending most of her time in the learning area, I was left to explore most of the mountain terrain alone, which allowed me to speed through the lift lines as a one-person party.  Although, I had to suppress the urge to laugh every time someone (usually a guy) asked me, "Are you single? Can I join you?"

How have your holiday escapades been so far?  Delightful I hope!

  1. Glad to hear you're back and resting after a fun holiday with family. I'm also resting, sort of, but because Santa brought presents and the flu to the whole family, except for me. The baby has been hit the hardest and for a while we thought we'd have to take her to the hospital for iv (she was dehydrated and losing weight). It seems like things are starting to get better, but yes, it's been hectic and we all need some rest. :) What is it with guys seeing women alone on ski slopes? I think all that snow freezes their brain into one thought alone... Oh wait, no, no, those types of guys only have that one thought freezing or scalding hot, specially around pretty women like you.

  3. Teehee, ski slope humor ;) I have resisted the post-Christmas shopping bug, too! Though we shall see how long it lasts, it's only been a day and a half, haha. Have a great weekend, darling! Hope your legs aren't too sore from all that swooshing around. xo

  8. PS - Once (once) I got in line for a ride without my wife--she was very pregnant at the time. A very pretty girl from Kentucky asked if SHE could join ME, then said, "I hope you don't mind if I yay-el" (Such a nice sccent). She did (yell), but that's fun on a roller coaster. My wife told me it was okay if I got on the ride without her, but tells that story as if I did something wrong that day. :D
