Last Week

I was on vacation all last week which was nice. I had a good weekend watching the Daytona 500 with my friends and family. On President's Day I went skiing with my sister. We didnt last to long, but it was fun.

I ordered new skis online. I payed extra to have them by Thursday b/c I was going skiing again on Fri/Sat. The skis arrived on time but to my dismay they were ugly. What can i say? I am a girl and I shop by color. So i had to pay to ship them back. A few days after I shipped them back they were returned to me!! ugggg. That was annoying!!! I took them back to the post office and we resent them. I didnt have to pay anything extra.

I worked on my graduate work basically all day on Tues, Weds, and Thurs of last week. That was not too fun much but I wasn't doing anything else.

I went away with my friends to Lake Placid this past weekend. We had a great time. Everyone liked the hotel i found. The skiing was tough for me b/c im not in shape. My legs were burning. We ate and drank plenty. We went to an Italian restaurant for dinner Sat night and the food was fabulous. The pasta was homemade!!! I had the most delicious tortellini with vodka sauce I have ever had and a bottle of wine!!!

It's started to snow Sunday and i was hoping for a snow day. Well my school was not off but I didnt go to school b/c at 10pm we called the fire dept. We had a chimney fire. The house was smokey, the roof was damaged and the chimney is shot but thankfully everybody is ok. So we can't use the wood burning for the rest of the year. That is how we heat our whole house.

So this week seems to be going by fairly fast, thank goodness. I need to watch The Matrix for my grad class and i am not looking forward to it. I didn't like the movie the first time i saw it. This time I will be watching for media so i will have another focus.
