The Queen and I picked up our FREE season passes at a regional speed bump that also gets us FREE skiing at 3 other ski areas on the TUG . Free is good :D:D and gives us a change of pace from areas we normally ski

That's an excellent plan. I did some shopping from 2-5 and the roads and lines were empty.

Too bad it hasn't started snowing here yet. Might have to go out and fight the crowds shortly since it doesn't sound like it will start until 9 or 10.

Whats proper snow blowing etiquette on the weekend? 6 am too early? Not that I really care if they are up or not.

Save it for your return from skiing.

Just waxed up. I'll let it sit until morning, then I'll scrape and brush right before I leave.

Just made more cordial cups (dark chocolate this time). Washed dishes. Stuck home--flat tire and my spare is a slightly different size so it's not advisable to be going out driving in 4WD. Boo. No family cookie day today. Guess we'll make a batch at home instead.

Baking gluten-free peanut butter cookies that will be sandwiched with chocolate later.

Wishing my daughter would stop screaming at me and just pick up her mess. If this is how it is at 4 years old, I don't know if I'll make it to 14...

OK WAYDRN readers....

After my 9:30 eye doctor's appointment, should I:
(A) Be responsible and do laundry which is backing up
OR
(B) Go for a 3 hour ski session at Blue?

I'm pretty tired from shoveling out yesterday, so I'm leaning towards A....but my inner ski voice is calling me...

Happy Monday all. 3 day work week here. Every other school in the area is out Tuesday. Some even have a half day workshop. Not us. We are full throttle until 1:30 Wednesday.

Taking a few minutes to catch up on AZ. Enjoying hearing some of my students tell me stories of skiing this weekend.

FWIW, a good friend (and a fellow AZ'er) put up a pretty epic trip report on TGR. Apparently they liked it enough to put it on their front page: http://live.tetongravity.com/_The-T...cent-in-West-Virginia/BLOG/1628330/75233.html

Sorry, Warp. If you can get a hold of some grapefruit seed extract, I highly recommend it.

I just finished sweeping out all the toys and junk under the beds in the kids' room and sorting that (plus all the stuff that was under the couches). We'll see how long this lasts.... at least I was able to purge some stuff in anticipation of the spoiling they will get on Christmas from our families. They're the only grandkids/niece/nephew on my side so they get way too much.

Also finally put up our 2 mini trees.

Looks like Plan B is going to lose out. My brother is driving up to JFK from Philly to pick up his in-laws and wanted to hang out before heading over to the airport. That and my pupils are dilated something fierce.
