{January 4, 2015}   It’s a snow day!

It was wonderful,  I slept until about 10am this morning!

It might have something to do with skiing for about five hours,  a two hour time share thing, then a three hour drive,  which should have taken about an hour and a half, that was fun…then I hung with AM for a bit,  wrote to you and then lights out!  I think I was also before my head hit the pillow!

A little while after I got up,  I got a text from AM about getting some lunch,  we went to meet his cousin at Fire On The Mountain, a wing place that had seitan  (vegan) wings for me, yummy. A very cool place.

We headed back to the house to hang with his wife, NM and their daughter ALM, what a cutie!  We built a Lego stage and dressing room for “Stephanie” with a lot of Lego Movie references. After Legos we played Old Maid, a rough game!

Then we retired to the screening room to watch Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2, which I had not seen and I loved it!

Somewhere around dinner time,  AM and I went to get food. Vegan Reubens for me and NM from Natural Foods.  Y U M!! Even got a vegan carrot cake muffin.

Back to the house for dinner and the rest of the movie, loved!

After the movie,  we headed over to the other house,  hung out for a minute,  then AM headed back to his house and I settled in to talk to you,  watch some movies and get some rest.

It was a great day for that!  I needed some as I am a bit tired from four days on the slopes!

Oh yeah..I did say it was a snow day!
It started snowing about noon and just stopped a little while ago. I think it must have snowd about 6 inches,  could be more,  could be less, I’m not going out there to measure!  I know the picture is dark,  but can you see the car in the driveway? It’s my rental and I parked it there yesterday.

Now,  let’s see if my flight takes off tomorrow or I’m here another day or two.



Do I feel bad about it? I’m not sure.

So… What did I do? Well, my fabulous weekend Breckenridge at Beaver run resort at the obscenely low rate was in exchange for listening to a timeshare spiel, you know, where you sit and they say  “at the end of your cake vacation at a resort or hotel, what do you really have? Besides memories? Really? That’s what you’re going to try on me?

Well, tonight, the girl I was working with very enthusiastic and good at what she does. The property is beautiful, right on peak 7, ski-in/ski-out, lockers, hot tubs, 4 movie theaters, restaurants, game rooms, how could you say no?

The cost wasn’t bad, the interest rate was horrible, the benefits even after your one week were pretty good, but as a chatted with GES she pointed out, it’s nice to have but not need to have, good. It was actually the first time I considered the deal.

… And I alluded  to in my New Years Eve post there are some things, medically speaking, coming up in this year that I’m not sure where I will be, if I will have to put out for the doctors and if I’m going to be coming to Colorado much or even traveling for pleasure, so would I be able to use it.

Even when I told her this, then the big gun came in and she gave me a really good deal for a lot less money which you would have held open for me for a year at month, but I don’t know what’s what so I had to walk away.

I didn’t tell the first girl about the medical stuff because honestly I didn’t think about it until later and I felt bad because she went through the entire page, the viewing, and expressed interest in the deal and I was, but as I’m not sure of anything why put money out there I might need for something else.

I have said no to the timeshare thing before, but why do I feel guilty this time? I loved when she said it… starting with the heavy sales pitch “how much will you be kicking yourself if you go home without signing? I know it’s your job but it’s still kind of annoying.”

Ok, I’m over it.



{January 1, 2015}   Resolutions

It’s new years day, hello 2015, did you make any resolutions?

Resolutions date way back, Babylonians, Romans, Medieval Area, all had resolutions and you can even find people in the Eastern Hemisphere, although they are more popular in the Western Hemisphere.

Today, many resolutions, and I am stereotyping here, usually revolve around weight loss, they indulged a little too much over the holidays. I met someone last night who’s resolution was to concentrate on herself and find a husband. Some resolutions are a bit far fetched and some are very simple, it all depends on who you are and how you handle it.

Have you heard the joke “I resolved years ago, never to make a resolution”. Ha ha

I have made resolutions over the years, but none seemed to stick whole heartedly. The one resolution I made, and I’m not sure its a resolution, but I am going to say it is, so there!

I started this blog a long time ago, but it was January 6, 2013 that I decided to post to my blog every day and by golly, I have done that! I blogged for the first year and felt like it was second nature, then January 6, 2014 rolled around and I had to decide, two years or one. I really don’t have to answer that, do I?

Now, January 6th is just around the corner, literally, and will I keep writing? You bet your sweet buppie! I love writing it, it’s become a part of me and of you, obviously, I saw the stats on the site. “You like me, you really like me!”

The other things that could be resolutions, I will commit myself to them, just not today!

So, tell me… did you make any resolutions?
