My new firetruck red pedi polish is more a motivator than an expression of how I'm feeling today. I should be more amped up, the inauguration is less than 24 hours behind me, I am working my way back to the west coast, I just spent the last week with a couple of my best, oldest friends... But to be honest, I'm really having a hard time getting myself going since getting back from California.
My Christmas and New Years home was great! Christmas day was spent with my family, our neighbors and some old family friends. It was great hanging out with everyone. Having Allie and Julia around really made the day so fun. There is something about kids in the house at Christmas! Thank goodness we have Mark and Lin next door to keep the pressure off of me and Nate. After dinner I drove up to Jeff's and hung out with his family before heading back to the house to watch a movie.
The day after Christmas was my first day back at a California climbing gym :). Todd and I met at the Berkeley gym and then ran around to REI, where I got the accesories that I needed for my new rope that Nate got me for Christmas, and a couple of ski stores.
The 27th was a day. My last Aratic show. I got out to Livermore and got to hang out with the boys. Everyone went to grab some food and then Todd and I went on a Starbuck's run. Some competative ping pong, a couple beers and a really awesome show. I am so happy they had one while I was home, since they are officially broken up as of a couple weeks ago.
New Year's Eve left me with a couple of option. I broke things off with Jeff and so I didn't really want to start my year off there... And then I had another potentially akward option. Then Todd invited me to Tahoe with some friends. It was just what I needed. we went up New Year's Eve and spent chatting with some really nice people. New Year's Day was spent at Heavenly. It was the most beautiful day. Blue skies, the lake was clear and amazing, the snow wasn't too icy. I suuuuucked at snowboarding. Worst day ever (as far as my skills go). I used to be moderately good, but not that day. That day I was a shit show on the mountain. Todd and Mark stuck with me the whole time. Troopers!
On the second we went out again. It was a bit cold and snowing like crazy. I decided that I should try skiing.
FEB 15TH:
After two months of this blog sitting here unfinished, for a few reasons, I'm just throwing it out there. My trip home was wonderful! I had a great day with my girls and dinners with friends that I don't talk to nearly enough.
Inauguration eve I was able to go down to The Mall and check out the set up. There are tons of new pictures up on my Picasa site if you are interested.
