Saturday February 19th 2011. Seemed like a nice day to go snowboarding, and the riding was great, except for the the to and from parts!! My partner in crime for this fine adventure was the excellent Christine, and there was no lack of laughs and fun, and sometimes we laughed so hard we almost peed ourselves, but rest assured, we didn't. Sometimes it was close though! lol.
Christine and I got in my car at 7:30am. Proceeded up hwy 10, get passed by a d-bag and grab gas in Orangeville. When filling up, that same d-bag was at the pump in front of us, blasting some really terrible music, filling up his suv while still running. This prompts a Christine moment- "I hope someday you explode!" LMAO! This comment was repeated a few times this fine day. We keep on driving up, and we encounter white outs! Another d-bag decides that even though everyone else has lights and hazards on, he wasn't going to do this, so I almost rear end him in a white out- because the motherfucker couldn't turn on his fucking lights. I used my horn profusely and flashed all the lights I had at him, but to no avail, never did he turn them on. I kept on the horn every so often, just because I hated him. We get to Blue Mountain and find out later that the roads got closed after we made it through, and lock up our boards to get ready. Some other awesome d-bag decided to lock their boards up beside ours- with their highbacks up, therefore trapping our boards in place. This was not cool- and I was so ready to remove bindings after almost an hour. The guy who locked his board up on the other end came, and once his was out we wiggled ours free and started a wicked day. We had a constant musical filled with colourful comments, party bars and good times. Lunch came and we found Burton Sleeper hoodies on sale for 1/2 price, so that was wicked too.
At the end of our most excellent day the third bad thing happened. I knew there was going to be a third, as two leads to three usually. We got to the car, and the battery was dead. I swore I turned off the lights, guess not. Asking around, we found an awesome family that came to our rescue. We drove home, and I went to bed.
Random Thoughts:
- Some people should explode.
- I should have removed the bindings and left a nasty note.
- Lights are CRUCIAL in white out conditions!
- I need a flip up sign thats customizable on my car so I can tell other drivers how I feel.
- The chairlift party doesn't start til the party bar goes down. Only after that can you mingle.

It's one of THOSE days...
What I mean by that is- whatever could go wrong for awhile, did. Then it got better, so I was quite happy and am still. My day started nicely, got up, got ready and then with 5 minutes until I had to walk out the door to go to work, I picked up my snowpants. Then I got reeeeeaaaally angry, as Mr.Frodo, my kitty, had peed on them sometime overnight. I thank goodness that the only thing this was making me late for was riding my brand new WICKED snowboard that I bought on the weekend, but I was really excited to ride it, so I was pretty angry about that until I hopped on it. So I tried my hardest to clean them as best I could- and left the house. I am on the 410- past Steeles, and realize that I forgot my phone (which didn't bother me too much) AND MY CUP OF TEA. Said CUP OF TEA makes me feel human in the morning. I'm not quite right until I have it, not gonna lie. Then I turned on the foot blower in the car, and all I could smell was cat pee. Gross. So I lovingly called my pants 'pee pants' for the rest of the day.
Work is always awesome- despite pee pants today. I rode the new board, it's a beauty. I love it. I brought the ladies in my ladies day class through the tunnel of success (again for 2 of them) and we had a great time working on turning on new terrain. So happy for those women and proud of their progress. Lunch was wicked good today. Cauliflower and cheese soup was amazing, pasta salad and a cupcake with chocolate icing and sprinkles. SO GOOD. Nancy was awesome (as she always is) and took my 12:40 lesson because the pee pants needed some more febreeze. 2pm cancelled, the weather was awesome, and I was inside doing paperwork. No worries, tomorrow will be better. I ended my awesome afternoon with a great lesson, an adult, she was good. The sun was out, I got warm, so I shed the jacket (i can, if i'm wearing black) and then the sun went behind the clouds. Attack of the bad luck day strikes again.
My bad day got better, when I no longer had to wear the pee pants (which are clean now, and drying) and I got home to find my new camera was delivered today! The other new thing I got recently was yes, the new board. Saturday, I went to Corbett's, and Jon was the man and found me my new ride. so good.
Random thoughts:
- taking your snowboard off, at the top of boomerang, and not holding on to it, makes for a funny scene. Thank goodness no one got hurt.
- cats are fucking weirdos.
- retro weekend is the greatest event ever.
- I really fucking love snowboarding.
- Sundays are for watching She-Ra, before I go to work. I'm done disc 3 of 12, so I have lots to go. Note- She-Ra is actually entertaining, and not as stupid as I thought it would be.
- Valentine's day is a sham of a holiday, however the chocolate idea is wicked.
- My Parental Units are awesome.
- My trip to BC is less than 2 months away, and my Level 2 is less than 2 weeks away. excited much? yesss!!

Responsibility Code My Ass.
It's Thursday. This entire week has been cold as hell, and I'm ready for it to warm up a bit. I'm not asking for much, just a windchill of warmer than -15 please. I LOVE winter, and I mean that with every ounce of my soul, but seriously, this bitter cold is really not cool anymore. One more day of it, but let's stay reasonable. Mother Nature, you could be a reasonable woman, however if you've got PMS and are itching to make people pay for whatever, please leave me out of it. I recycle, compost and try to do everything I can to help keep our world on track, so what's with this weather??? I guess I can't complain too much though, at least the sun has been out mostly, and there was a wicked rainbow visible in this small wispy cloud above the escarpment the other day on my way into work. It was wicked pretty.
On Wednesday night, while having a most excellent session with fellow instructors, I was taken out from behind by one retard on a snowboard. He and his friends were and continued to be giant douchebags, and his apology seemed less than sincere. I'm a little sore a day later. I couldn't hear him coming because he was riding flat base, going straight. I bet the fucker has no idea how to turn, or do anything productive on his snowboard. In fact, I think it should be taken away from him. I really kind of want to go back, and spring to my feet and punch him in the face. Not cool, not at all. So yeah, I'm glad I'm not actually hurt, because that would have totally sucked.
My random thoughts for now...
-Car!! Game On!!
-watching kids fall on their faces after you've told them that it would happen if they put their toes down, is mildly funny.
-I love snowboard sessions. It's so nice to get positive feedback.
-I'm going to love dinosaur shaped sandwiches.
-Hand warmers are the greatest things on earth for hands on a cold day.
-TGIF
xoxo all!

Wow so I started this on wednesday. I need to post it as my computer is retarded and I can't type a double letter or backspace more than once. Motherfucking technology can kiss my as$.
Random Thoughts.
-Hugs make the world a happier and better place.
-Today's session was brought to you by the phrase "no room for relationships, theres just room to hit it" and all thanks go to Naughty by Nature.
-Riding all day and having a mogul session at night is murder on the knees and jelly legs.
-Realizing you need a new board mid season sucks, as prodeals are almost all over and done with.
-Snow days are effin' wicked.
