Hardcore
So we went to Smuggler's Notch on January 17th on a trip that was supposed to be for two days. The first day we had a lot of fun even though it rained at the end of the afternoon.
Unfortunately, that meant the next day everything was a sheet of ice. The good news is they gave us vouchers to come back another time. The bad news is we wasted our money renting a car for 2 days and on a hotel to stay there overnight.
However, we got to prove how hard core we were by snowboarding in the rain for about an hour and a half. See?

Stowe, you had me at Dear Jennifer...
Seriously, I don't need any convincing. But I'll take the free gift I suppose.

Gearing up for winter
Yeah, I know some of you whiners out there are already complaining because the temperature is getting cooler. I personally love the fall so I have no room for your complaints. The summer is hot and humid and disgusting and does nothing for me. So.
However, today I am not talking about fall but winter - glorious winter with its freezing temperatures and heaps of snow, especially in the mountains of New England, for me to snowboard on!

Questions about my new weblog platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm right about everything. If you disagree, I don't care.
What's going on right now
I swear, someday we will be done fixing things and moving in. Seems like every time we start something we find an unanticipated problem. And it's hard to find the time to work on this stuff. I made a Homeownership category on this blog but it is woefully out of date. I will try to keep it current, though. The process of fixing things and putting things where they belong continues.
We adopted two kitties from the Animal Rescue League of Boston in the fall of 2010. Molly is a sweet black and white/piebald kitty who was found on the streets as a stray. Katie is a torbie/Maine Coon who was confiscated in a hoarding case where there were 98 cats total. Both are great in their own way. Molly loves to cuddle like no cat I have ever known. She would rather be carried around like a baby or sleeping in your lap literally every second of her life than anything else. She's also a heat-seeker and regularly tries to march around on the stove while we are cooking. Don't worry, we keep a careful watch on her.
Katie is now enormous. When she stretches out she spans the entire width of our dining table. She still has a lot of kitten type energy and likes to play a lot. Luckily she easily makes a game out of a lot of things. Unfortunately, one of those things is our blinds. Which will need to be replaced. Her favorite toy in the universe is a plastic drinking straw. She literally goes crazy for them.
In Memory of Billy the dog
Best.Dog.Ever. 1995-2009.
Many of you knew or knew of Billy. We miss him a lot but his memory lives on, especially thanks to this blog.

In Memory of Emily the kitty
Greatest kitty in the world! 1992-2010.
Many of you probably have heard Emily stories. She was a sweet and funny cat who seemed to get more personality every year. Imagine how much she had by the time she was 17 and a half years old!
