Had to laugh last week we got about a foot and half of snow.. yet again.. and this was days after I heard on the radio that "Marvin the Marmot" something about spring will be here in 6 weeks. Needless to say while I was shoveling for the third time that DAY..I dreamed of laying on a beach.. anywhere tropical. Sadly the cold whipping wind brought me back to reality! Reality was I better keep on shoveling otherwise I'll be up before 6am digging out my darn vehicle!..
Ah the wonders of Canada....
So here we are already in February, and already dreaming of summer...I was chatting with someone who had just gotten back from Mexico and as we were talking..I had a hard time listening to the story, I was more engrossed with the bronzed tan, and how that must have felt, laying on a beach, listening to the ocean, feeling the sun warm your body. The glistening of oil on your skin, and beads of sweat on the stomach.. my finger circling the rim of the cold glass of ... ya.. reality.. see how fast my mind goes somewhere else....somewhere WARMER.. haha..
Well I did manage to brave the snow.. and headed up for night skiing the other night. I have not skied in a very very long time!.. and surprisingly.. I didn't break anything!.. I did wipe out a few times..and of course that just keeps me more reserved...actually got a bit scared when I felt like I was going to fast..and then when my legs wouldn't do what I wanted them to do.. guess that's the joys of beating your body up.. Don't get me wrong I was very much a tomboy growing up..still not quite all grown up yet.. haha.. I have come to learn or shall we say.. have a respect for speed, for my body hitting the ground.. and for bones to not bend! all things I want to avoid!.. thinking when I got hit by that car, did more damage to the mind then to the body.. cuz still .. I don't full out anything...well..let me rephrase that..hehe.. I won't full out anything that requires speed and not being in some kind of body armour.. (picture me in a knights suit) hahahaa..
anyhoo.. back to skiing.. I did have a good time.. once I went down about 3 times, the fear finally subsided.. and then after a few more times down the hill.. I realized I am not in my twenties anymore.. and don't give me this.. 40 is the new 20.. sure in my mind.. but not while traveling on skis down the side of a mountain doing about 5k an hour.. ROFL!... I will most likely be doing that again.. considering it was only 16 bucks, rentals and lift tickets!.. go figure!
Sadly.. we did not get any pictures.. so that day..the feelings, the excitement, the fear, the joy!.. and the great company.. will be etched in this mind, and in this blog!...
