Who needs a job...really!?

Wouldn't it be nice if you could live in a place so careless and free? Not worrying about going to work the next day, getting all of your projects and quotas met, being free of workplace drama. If you didn't have to worry about pleasing your boss, or making sure everything you do is politically correct. Taking your meager lunch break (if any) that consists of a Nalgene and baggie of frosted mini-wheats. Sigh. Well, I thought that would be lovely....for half a day it was lovely and then reality sets in. It is very daunting not knowing how the bills will get paid or what will happen when our health insurance runs out at the end of the week, or even having nothing productive to do all day long! My goodness you can only work out so much in a day. The ice cream and leftover Costco triple chocolate-chocolate birthday cake seems to beckon. I guess I could always clean the bathroom again, 5 times in 4 days isn't bad right?

If you have not figured out, I am out of a job. I was working for an Ophthalmologist-and all of the sudden on my way out to my car the doc and office manager cornered me and said they aren't doing so well and need to cut back. I got cut back. I forget how awful and stressful it is to be on a job hunt, especially with the pressure to get a job right now. If anyone knows of someone hiring, please let me know! I may have already sent them my resume-I don't know many people that haven't gotten it this week. :)

Oh and GOOD LUCK everyone working on finals! You can do it, its almost over!

Makeover

I have been wondering how to make my blog cute like others I have seen-almost like a scrapbook page. And thanks to someone on Andrea's blog, I learned how. It looked super complicated but really the instructions were great for someone so computer illiterate as myself to understand. Thank you author of blog design instructions!

Snowboard or Bust!

Now that I told you all how to get discount lift tickets you should all try snowboarding. It is so much fun! My first time snowboarding was with Alyson Dame and I think I was 11 years old. From that day on I was hooked. I was able to go to Brighton about 2 weeks ago with Alyson 'Murdock' (now) and it rocked. It was a little windy and we had to board through blizzards of ice crystals-ouch-every once in awhile but it was Oh so worth it!

Look How Cool

This is me doing a wicked cool rail jump.....

Just kidding, it looks like it could be me though doesn't it? I used to be brave enough to try cool moves and tricks, but I got married and became a chicken. Nowadays I have to pay for my own medical expenses if I land on my face. That would not be pretty-either one!

He said Yes!

Last Wednesday Tim FINALLY consented to go snowboarding with me! For an event like this I took work off, since this may never happen again. Tim does not like winter or the snow so I felt like I pretty much had to drag him up there. He wanted to ski instead of snowboard, which was okay since I was just glad to get him to come, besides he is a better skiier than snowboarder so we were able to 'tear up the mountain' Even though it was cold, Tim ended up having a great time and even tossed around the idea of buying some skis. Horray! But don't worry, our kids will still be snowboarders.

Beautiful View

This is the view from the top of SnakeCreek Express lift at Brighton. I think this shows Heber City. Isn't it pretty up above all the pollution.

Did you know...

Yesterday I was looking for homes on KSL.com and I started scrolling down the main page of the classifieds that tells of all the categories you can buy from and I found the coolest things! I came across the sports and entertainment section and come to find out they sell all kinds of awesome things. I came across tons of Jazz tickets for tonights game, the game next week, next month, etc. They were really cheap too, I thought to myself what a good gift for someones hubby, a special surprise Jazz ticket in exchange for a foot rub or even a cleaning of the bathroom! They also had day passes to Brighton Ski Resort for $20! These are usually $54! That really got me excited, its just hard to find people to go...does anyone want to go snowboarding with me on a Friday or Saturday? :) Just thought I would pass this GREAT discovery of mine on.
