the weekend is almost here …

honestly, i have to say i’ve had one long week… perhaps it’s the 9 hours in the office and the hour on the bus before and after but i’m so ready for this weekend. not a whole lot planned for it thankfully… i’ve got to run some errands and such but nothing major. we’re going to be doing a little maintenance on the snowboards this weekend or at least i will, lol… this next week should be pretty good though… it’s a four day week which is nice. pretty soon those four day weeks will mean friday snowboarding… i so can’t wait.
amanda’s and andy’s birthdays are this week so we’re planning on going out friday night for that, woohoo! amanda gets the extra trip out on her birthday for dinner though, so that will be nice too… two nights out, whatever shall we do!? i also have to fit in putting in a window friday during the day if at all possible. i’ve gotten behind on replacing those things and i want to make sure i can at least get the one in for the living room before it gets too cold. that thing was the worst last year. i’m all for remodeling an older house but man, sometimes it’s a pain.
well, i have some things to finish up before i head out for the day so i better get to em.
later
the fever that is snowboarding …

ok… it’s officially killing me… i need a snow fix and soon!
yes, two resorts are open but they have limited runs so it’s not worth going up there… 16 days until breckenridge opens up, but i’m not sure how much terrain will be open then. all i know is i’m dying here. lol hopefully there will be more terrain open by the end of the month @ arapahoe basin so i can get up there and get a few runs in to at least tide me over.
oo… snowboard clinic this weekend (saturday) at my house if you’re local. sharpen those edges and get that wax done! i’ll be supplying the scraper to pull off old wax and mike has the edge tool, so all thats left is to bring your own wax!
concerning the restroom …

so has anyone ever noticed that some people will hide perfectly still in a stall, despite being obviously finished, until you leave the restroom upon which as the door closes behind you, the stall opens and the sink turns on? I wonder how long someone would hang out in there silently if say you decided to just hang out in the bathroom for a few because you weren’t ready to go back to your desk… hehe…
six words… “it’s ok, we all do it”
the addiction that is DDR.

Yes folks, you read it right. Currently the household and some of my friends are addicted to Dance Dance Revolution Universe. *shrug* what do ya do? Played it a few times at Dave & Busters and decided it merited a purchase for the Xbox. So the last few nights at the house have been spent playing from after dinner until bed time with challenges back and forth between all of us. Andy has sat and watched, he flat refuses to participate but Mike and Amanda have a fierce competition going. I think it’s even resulted in trading jabs and challenges over email and myspace at this point, lol. I think the next step for Mike is to get another pad so we can have direct challenges person to person, lol.
I guess all in all you can’t see it as a bad thing. It has successfully created a 2-3 hour cardio workout session every night since we got it and Amanda has been practicing during the day for at least an hour or so — physical fitness here we come, lol. I know the neighbors have to be wondering what in creation is happening over at our house though as I can only imagine what it looks like to see people dancing in sync through the living room window. LOL Either way, this is very entertaining. I’m debating posting up some pictures from the last couple events at the house. hehe
Other than that… nothing new to report. I just found this amusing and had to share / poke fun at Amanda and Mike. LOL If anyone feels like coming up and joining, feel free.
