I went out on a romantic dinner with none other than Janet :)

Oola's on 12/30/08:

-Oysters
-Ahi Tuna
-Short ribs
-Mac N Cheese
-Seabass
-Milk chocolate ganache tart
-2 glasses of wine
-2 gin n tonics

We girls can put it away. Made even better by using a $25 gift certificate I purchased for $2. Awesome.

This time every year one of the managers buys us holiday scratchers as a fun holiday card/gift.

I won $2. Woo hoo.

So I went downstairs and purchased another scratcher.

I won another $2.

I think this is how people get addicted to this stuff.

I'm going downstairs. haha.

Oh yeah.

Rocky mountain oysters?

Not that bad.

Could have used some tabasco, though. :)

Recap of Colorado:

-I've never been so cold in my life. When the day starts off in the negatives and it "warms" up to the teens and twenties... it's still pretty freakin cold.

-Being able to walk to the lift is pretty sweet.

-My right contact cracked on our second night there. My options at that point were to either board with my glasses or take Danny's spare contact lens. I went with the second, although my right eye is about 2X worse than his. I figured I couldn't really see because of the snow anyway...

-I definitely need to recruit more women if I go again next year.

-Vail is HUGE. And has the nicest lodge I've ever seen. But a lot of flat spots.

-The baggage claim for snowboards at the Denver Airport is pretty cool. Definitely tempting to jump in.

-Sunday service on top of Keystone. OUTSIDE.

-I was amazed that I didn't have to pull out my pass everytime for the lift. They can scan it through your jacket.

Overall a very fun time. I heard Tahoe got some good snow this past weekend... :)

I'm going to COLORAAAADOOOOO TOMORROW!

WOO HOO!

I went to check out the Academy of Science over the weekend with my mom. Very crowded and very cool.
