It's already the last day of January 2011. I can't believe a 12th of the new year is already gone. Everyday I try to remind myself to not live in the future so I don't miss the present. It helps me enjoy where I'm at now. This weekend Chels and I joined the Greeks (Sasha's family and Magda) on a winter adventure. Our adventure consisted of tubing and snowmobiling. Turns out I'm kind of lame because every time we raced I could not figure out how to go fast enough to win. Tough luck.
Other than those adventures the weekend consisted of driving, eating, beating up Jessica, eating, sleeping and more eating. I have an issue where if I don't get fed or watered every few hours I turn into a child and whine until I get fed. I try to avoid this around people I don't know as well but un-luckly for my fellow travelers this weekend we had to stay on a consistent feeding schedule.
My favorite meal of the weekend was probably in the "lodge" we stopped at in the middle of our snowmobiling day. We wanted a total of three orders of chicken wings. The lady told us they only had enough for two orders. So like polite snowmobiling citizens we ordered something else and wiped away our tears. A couple minutes later the same lady informs us that they have found some more chicken fingers.
Being the unfortunate people that we are, our first response was not of concern as to where these extra chicken fingers were all of a sudden found. Nope, we were just too overjoyed at the idea of a future with more fingers. Only after the excitement died down did we being to question the establishment we were now about to consume lunch in. In other food news: the place we stayed for the weekend did have some pretty great chili.
Tubing was great. World's laziest way to tube instructions: Go to tubing hill will a rope tow so you don't have to walk up the hill. You know how in all those fitness magazines their winter issues tell you all the fun ways to burn calories. Well almost every one of them includes sledding/ tubing. Fail on our part. But it's okay because the less time walking up a hill the more time you have to tube and tubing is a great winter activity for all. I will include this caution: wait until all minis (children) are well out of your way at the bottom of the hill to avoid knocking them over and looking like a huge jerk. No one cares if it was their fault. They are tiny and cute and you most likely are not.
Next weekend we are going snowboarding. Hopefully our poor sore bodies will be recovered by this time. Who knew holding down the gas with your hand could inflict so much pain on your entire arm. I am sore in places I didn't know you could be sore and I'm pretty sure what I was doing can't even be counted as a workout.
