warm weather is no good for snowboarders

i've been waiting.. and waiting for the moment that i can enthusiastically bring out my snowboard and head out to the local slopes.  But with all this warm weather, Liberty & Whitetail have been closing during the week.  This makes me disinclined (is that a word) to head out there on the weekends, because i know for a fact that there will be dirt and sludge mixed with melted fake snow.  Not good.  Especially with this long holiday weekend approaching (I took friday off in anticipation of hitting the slopes!) . I will keep my fingers crossed in hopes that this weekend I'll get some practice runs in before the big trip out West!

discovering an improved quality of life

So i've become one of those people who, when they turn on the tv, automatically check to see whats on one of the many home improvement channels, especially HGTV and Style network. I will happily sit and watch those Whose Wedding Is It Anyways? marathons. It's funny, when you enter the real world, the Real World is less entertaining.

Craving wedding plannings, how to update the bathroom, hanging curtains - is this the definition of getting older? I'm actually considering moving to Seattle because according to My House Is Worth What? you can buy a fabulous house for the same price you would pay for a one bedroom in Arlington.

I have to wonder if all this is a result of the wedding bells i keep hearing in my head. I think when you are ready for the next step, you become consumed by everything involved in that next step. I don't know if it is healthy, but sometimes you just can't help it.
