Thursday Thoughts... The Good & The Bad

Good: I finally went out and bought a new bed skirt/ dust ruffle for my bed... I've been meaning to do this since I moved back to LA almost nine months ago.

Bad: Have you ever tried putting a dust ruffle on a queen size bed by yourself?! Holy goodness, it was hard. My knees are bruised and I almost broke my neck... Lesson learned: Mattresses are really frickin' heavy.

Good: My bed looks about five thousand times better/ more polished. (Why did I wait so long? Oh wait, read above.)

Sort of bad/ Sort of good: It's raining outside.

Good: Great excuse to make my new diet hot chocolate (Swiss Miss). All the comfort of hot cocoa on a rainy day, only 25 calories.

Bad: It's no where near as delicious as real hot cocoa. It's kind of lumpy. (But hey its only 25 calories so I'm not complaining. that much.)

Good: I'm going on a little ski vacation this weekend. I haven't seen snow in a year! And I'm going with the bf, to celebrate his 25th birthday (which is next week.)

Bad: I haven't skied in two years, and the last time I skied I took a really bad fall, and so I'm still a little freaked on the whole thing. And the bf is really good & risky snowboarder. And we are going with four other guys (and no girls), all of whom are really good snowboarders. (I normally like hanging out with the guys, except in a situation like this where it would be nice to have a girl to ski the easier trails with.)

Good: Skiing = Exercise. Since I ran on Monday, skiing two days this weekend will keep me in line with exercising three days a week goal for February.

Bad: Since I knew I would be skiing 2 days this weekend, I did not go to the gym today... even though I could have/ should have. hmmm

Good: I finally got my hair done yesterday! No more roots! Hooray!
Bad: My hair looks like crap right now, because I was out in the rain. So no picture. Sorry.

So there we have it. The ambivalence that is my life right now.
And just for kicks... I found this old doggy Halloween costume in a drawer, and couldn't resist.

How adorable!

I honestly don't remember the last time I went skiing which is quite sad since I used to go every weekend before I went away to college. You know I would sky the easier trails with you because I'm too afraid to fall on the icy patches.

Oh man, skiing/snowboarding is SUCH a good workout. Of all the different kinds of exercises I've tried I've never been as sore as I get after a day of snowboarding. I haven't gone for like two years though :-( You should try snowboarding, it's SO fun once you get the hang of it!

Is this a West Highland in an owlie costume?! I think I love you.

Hi...found you via Shannon. ^__^

Okay. Not a Westie according to Fabulous February's pic. What is she? She looked like she might have little pointy ears in that owlie hat. My mistake. Still adorable.

I always need a girl to ski with too! The boys are daredevils and leave me behind. Skiing was so much easier when I was 15 and scared of nothing.
