Hi Bonny!

Nite Bonny!

Tink - it's out in Vermont - Killington. Late March is definitely off season there (unlike in Colorado). Same condo is closer to $200 a night in season - that was midweek too. It was ski in (trail down to condo), but not ski out (had to drive or take shuttle to the slopes - about a 1/2 mile away). We usually drove out together, had one of us ski home with the kids and one drive the car. Took about the same time to get out of skis, load the car and drive as it did to jump on the lift and ski all the way down.

Actually Matt's preferred 'spaghetti' is just noodles and a ton of vinegar. Since we hadn't bought vinegar at the condo, he made due with Italian salad dressing, which we'd just had on our salad!

Sharon - Eric did volunteer to do the whole audition sight-reading. He probably could have done a good job of it actually since he's really good at sight-reading, and the material was not that difficult. That was our biggest concern going in - that the audition material was too easy and it would be difficult to "shine" on it. Eric would have preferred to show off by choosing a much harder piece. However, the judge wouldn't let him sightread the music. I did send the email and will let you know what I hear back. In case you're interested, an excerpt from the email:

Also, I was a bit disappointed not to hear back regarding the email we sent yesterday. Eric just said that it was sort of laughed off in class. He was really upset about this and it is a big deal to him. To just say (this is his paraphrasing) “oh, well – guess we’ll see what happens” doesn’t seem appropriate to me. He REALLY wanted to go back and do the Honors Band again, as we told you as soon as he got back in October. If he doesn’t get in because of this, he (and we) will be very disappointed and unhappy about it. I think an email acknowledging our email and explaining how this could have happened would be appropriate.

Okay - last batch of pics before I collapse in bed and doze off watching the basketball game. This is it for the ski pics. Next will be Boston, but not tonight!

Matt being bored waiting around for the rest of us:

Matt and Eric at the top of the mountain deciding which diamond slope to take down. Stephen and I are edging away from them to head over to the easy trails!

A pretty tree pic covered in ice:

These pictures are from the last morning. Can you see the difference in weather conditions? Literally you couldn't see anything (especially signs, but even other skiers!) going down the mountain. I'd be following Stephen and it was like a horror movie as he just disappeared into the mist in front of me!

I guess it was also a bit windy as you can tell by how I'm standing in this pic! Really, I'm not sure why I'm leaning over like this!

Do any of you know how to knit?

I'm trying to figure out how to increase one stitch on a purl stitch.

My knitting for dummies book is confusing me....

Eric knits - I just asked him and he just and said "there are about 14 different ways you can do it!" I asked him to elaborate, but he's curled up watching the basketball game with a cat on his lap and wasn't interested in being helpful!

Okay, and explain the 20/25 anniversary! I know you're celebrating your 20th wedding anniversary this May too, and there's someone else on this thread who is too! When was yours again? Ours is the 27th. Anyways, is the extra 5 years when you met? So far we don't have anything planned.

 

[marciemi]

Oh, and no jury duty again tomorrow!!

Night all!

Typical teen! DH needed help tonight with itunes and DS couldn't be bothered as he was talking to friends online.

I found a tutorial on youtube that showed me how! I was looking for a way to increase without it showing.

We lived together for 5 years before we married. I think those years should count too! Mine is the 8th.

I'm kinda bummed thou that I am going to miss James' senior prom. The school changed the date after I had already bought the plane tickets, etc. He doesn't seem to care thou. I've already talked to his girlfriends mom and she is going to take tons of photos. But still....

Does this mean you don't have to go to work either?

Hey Homies!
I made a deal on a Honda Accord today. I'm going to pick it up on Saturday. My MIL is getting one too. I decided that since the MIGHTY TAG FAIRY has not dipped my head in RED paint, I will get a red car!

Jodie, I won't be getting a Saturn, but if DH sells his Cobra, he is going to get a Saturn Sky. We've really done an about face on vehicles with the gas prices like they are. I think pretty soon, it will be hard to sell a gas guzzler, so he needs to go ahead and put his Cobra up for sale. Oh, and Jodie, I think you would make a GREAT tag fairy! Especially, since you know me and the tag fairy doesn't even know I exist. I suppose I'm going to have to quit begging to be "redded" (Mac's made-up word) cuz I'm probably getting on the tag fairy's nerves.....

Tracie, I hope your dad gets better soon!

Mac, the kitties are precious! We still need to see your hula pics!

Barb, how was the world of the tanning salon today? You must love what you do....you get to make people beautiful at both jobs.

Marcie, jury duty again???? It seems like you've been in the pool forever! DH had to serve on a jury a few weeks ago. It was a drug case. They found him guilty of possession with intent to deliver. He had over a pound of marijuanna.

Hey Todd

I see that green light still on. It's past your bedtime!

 

[Sharon G]

Oops, I just missed ya.

Todd- I'm thinking ahead to my ds flying back and forth from Embry-Riddle. The flights are much cheaper and more plentiful from Orlando than Daytona.
Can you recommend a shuttle service. I went to the Orlando airport website and there are quite a few. One that I remember is called DOTS.

Hi Sharon!
I'm jealous...you've been redded and animated!

 

[KStarfish82]

Maybe that tag fairy took a trip after all her recent hard work....

Hi Allison! I was a day late for the tag-a-thon, and the tag fairy felt bad she/he had missed me I guess.

I'm hoping your turn comes soon! Where are you oh mighty tag fairy???

Maybe that tag fairy took a trip after all her recent hard work....

Hi Katie! I remember you saying you put a bid in for a house, but I think maybe I missed more recents posts.
Did you get the house?

 

[KStarfish82]

Hi Katie! I remember you saying you put a bid in for a house, but I think maybe I missed more recent posts.
Did you get the house?

Yes I did and they accepted...cutting almost 25K off the original

So I am getting a lawyer and hopefully have a contract soon!

Thanks for asking!

 

[Sharon G]

That's so exciting for you Katie!

What kind of house is it?

I work in a real estate agency and I love seeing 1st time buyers get the keys to their new home!
