This weekend was the best weekend I can remember in a long, LONG time. It’s so hard to come home after a weekend like that! It’s such a downer to go back to the real world - home, kids, a job.
Laura’s got most of the pictures on her website and I’ve got skiing pictures here.
The weekend started off badly. My flight out of Tampa was delayed for FOUR hours while we waited for a flight attendant to come in from Chicago. I’ve got to write United a nasty-gram regarding that whole mess. So I was damn tired when I finally got into Denver. When I went to bed, it was 5:30 Florida time. EEK!
We just took it easy Saturday morning until Laura’s friend (and I guess my friend too, now) Mike came to pick me up to go rent ski crap. After that we met back up with the girls, and Laura’s friend Ed at Hooter’s. After Hooter’s, we went to the bar to drink and dance. I was drinking pretty hard, but trying desperately to commit every moment to memory. It was just one of those nights.
I got all of 5 hours sleep on Saturday night - it seems my internal clock was still on Florida time, so I popped right out of bed at 7am. Mike and I headed up to Loveland for skiing. The day could have not been more perfect - cold, mostly clear - a bit of powdery snow. The slopes weren’t crowded at all, and I love those mile long runs down the mountain. I am forever greatful to Mike for taking me! We did 5 runs of so and called it quits - the night before was catching up with us. On our way back to Denver, we stopped at TommyKnocker Brewery in Idaho Springs for some beer and lunch.
On Monday my wild ways caught up with me for good, and I slept in hard. Laura and I went to the mall and Target and enjoyed some quiet girly time. The flight home sucked 10 kinds of ass. My sniffles turned into a full on head cold and my ears never popped. Miserable. I’m on three kinds of medicine now though, so life is looking up.
It was sooo good to hang out with the girls and get away from being Mommy for a while!

[…] Remember that horrible flight to Denver I took last month? I ended up sending a lovely letter of complaint to United. Bitching DOES pay off, because they mailed me a $150 travel voucher on United, good for the next year!! […]
