Flashback to snow

Has anyone else ever watched 9 episodes of Cake Boss in one day?

I sure wouldn't do that... uh...even if William and I got netflix...and there were no commercials. That would just be silly to watch that much t.v. in one day. Ahem.

Now here's the flash back.

We live in Utah. Greatest snow on earth right? Except this year there is only 38 inches of snow on at Snowbird right now (the normal snowfall for this month is 124 inches)! Weird right? So if you like to dodge logs while skiing give me a hooray.... Oh, that's right, no one likes to do that.

So today's flashback is flashing us to a better year. When a few of the greatest people I know had season passes to Snowbird...and there was actually enough snow. We went skiing about every Saturday. We listened to Red Jump Suit Apparatus, we ate Ramen, and we even grilled steak in the parking lot. There's no way to really describe how much fun we had up there. Or how many of our silly worries melted away while we were racing down Big "Enema" but these pictures help.

There are few things greater than skiing all day with your very best friends. I'm so glad I grew up in Utah.

Aren't you?

The Awkward and The Awesome

The Awkward:
-A second grader telling me that he would look hot with skinny jeans and chains (what am I supposed to say back to that?).
-Taking an order from a man on the phone at work and asking him "what color he will be coming in" when I meant to say, "What time he will be coming in." The best part is that he answered my first question. Without ANY hesitation he told me he would be coming in a "a grey-ish Honda." So I just let it slide.
-The snot bubble I got while talking to my Boss....yes, that really happened.

-Running into someone with the hubs who remembers you but you don't remember them. So rather than introducing them, you silently force the hubs to walk as far away as possible.
-Using the phrase "Go do what you do" at the end of a conversation.
-Finding out that you've been rockin' the rat tail for the entire day (aka the chunk of hair that didn't make it into your pony tail).
-Seeing Mothers at the mall sporting ridiculous amounts of cleavage...while shopping with their children.
-Not being told "this is a serious picture"

-Being asked if I'm a leader or a young women at activities (but lets be honest, I'm usually the one throwing things at people, so maybe they have a point).
-Being hi-five stood up by a 3rd grader.
-Dropping your phone (the bad drops, in which the back piece falls off and the battery flies 20 feet away) whilst being surrounded by a group of people.

The Awesome:

-Finishing the 500 at the alumni swim meet.
-Not having to put away the Christmas tree (here's the secret: we never put it up).
-Putting books on hold at the library. Seriously! All you do is click a mouse and then the little library maids 1) find the book (Dewy and I don't really get along), 2) put your name in it, 3) and then tell you when it's ready to come pick up. I always feel important when I pick up books that were on hold just for me.
-Finding Zee Sneetch planking.

-Eating cereal late at night.
-Finishing grad school applications.
-The happy birthday boy with his happy cake.

-Finding 2 pairs of jeans! At one store!! and only spending $50 on both!!!
-Our new TV!!

-Finishing puzzles. At 3:00AM.


-This movie. Though, the fact that I almost pee myself from excitement every time I see this trailer may be a little awkward.
