Christmas Day Drama
December 25, 20100 Comments
So my Christmas started out good, I headed out to work for my first shift and I ended up making a decent amount of dinero, just look at my awesome spanish, for a lunch shift.  So I decided since I was probably going to be home late I'd make the drive home during my midday break.  This would have been easier if I left at 2:30 like scheduled but it just didn't work out that way.  I literally came in the house said 'Hi' to Pete and left. ...

A long day at the Post Offices
December 23, 20100 Comments
So today Pete and I tried to get some stuff done and headed out to the Post Office.  We went to Frisco where there was a line that lasted about 5 minutes and they lady was so nice.  He even talked to someone in the parking lot who's daughter does music therapy.  We drove back to Breck and found we had some pick up notes in our box and we made the decision to wait in the LONG line for an hour to get our stuff.  We were talking...

Who's 16???
December 22, 20100 Comments
So when Pete and I stopped at wal-mart to grab a few last minute Christmas things we grabbed some smokes.  The guy behind the register told Pete not to let me have any because I was too young.  I always laugh when people say that kind of stuff to me.  I let him know that 1.  I'm older than Pete and 2. I would be more that happy to show him my ID proving I'm 32.  He made me show it to him, of course and still looked like...

Kona ate my cookies
December 20, 20100 Comments
So I got home from work today and had noticed that there was a zip lock bag in the middle of the kitchen floor. When I picked it up it was chewed and I noticed cookie crumbs in it. Kona was hiding under the table and wouldn't come near me and that's when it dawned on me, the cookies I had set aside for Angie and Doug were enjoyed by Kona when everyone was outside shoveling. I was worried that he would get sick, but Tara said he would have to eat...

We found the problem
December 20, 20100 Comments
So Pete just called me to say that: 1. All the lights are out from where we get on Rte 9 all the way to the town of Breck. 2. Even the radio station isn't broadcasting 3. He saw the ass that caused this problem. Looks like some jerk hit a transformer near swan mountain road. That was my guess from the start. That's gonna be a costly one buddy.

December 19, 20100 Comments
And heat for that matter! Thank God for the gas fireplace. It just happened about 15 minutes ago as Pete was leaving for work. We grabbed the candles and his head lamp and turned off some of the breakers so when it comes back on his audio equipment doesn't get fried. That's the last thing we need. Hopefully the power will be back on soon. When Pete did leave we saw our neighbor Willie heading to their generator to turn it on. We really need to...

Pets are good for you
December 17, 20100 Comments
"Taken From TeddyHilton.com" 1. Prevent Allergies - Pets can help prevent eczema and some allergies in children. Children who live with dogs have lower rates of childhood eczema and children raised with cats or dogs from their first year of life are less likely to develop pet allergies. 2. They lower healthcare costs - People who own pets traditionally make fewer trips to the doctor than those who don't. As a result, pets help keep the cost...

So on our way home from Keystone the road from Frisco to Breck, Rt 9 was shut down for a gas leak, so we decided to take another way home and do a little bit of X-mas shopping on the way.  It had started to snow pretty hard by time we left Bed Bath & Beyond we saw a hit and run accident at the light. We had taken Swan Mountain Road earlier in the day to get over to Dillon but the trip home was not as easy.  We made it to the top...

Since things were slower than normal in the morning I was asked to stay and hang out for another hour just in case it got super busy.  Well, I had some...

First we headed to the real beginner bunny slope but it was so much less of a hike than what we already did to get there that it seemed like a waste.  We continued our hike to where some instructors were giving lessons. ...
