You know when to stop when you have internal bleeding

Time: 8:43
Mood: In PAIN!
Song of the moment: Jimmy Eat World - Kill

This weekend we had a mother of a snowstorm... we must have gotten a good 20-30 cm of snow! And we all know what that means.. time to take out those shovels and snowblowers! I was supposed to go snowboarding on saturday but because of this snowstorm, it got postponed until sunday (yesterday). So saturday I spent my day shoveling the driveway (and the backyard.. for Pepper) twice but I did get to have a bit of fun (as captured by my daddy in the picture above). Luckily Jimmy was there to help me shovel or I wouldn't have been able to snowboard the next day!

Sunday, Jimmy, Sean, Dave, Eileen, Allen, Amy and I headed up to Mt. St. Louis for some snowboarding. It was a great day.. not as fridged cold as the day before and it was sunny! I had a lot of fun but I'm totally hurting from it today! I was completely saved by these toe warmers my mom had given me.. they're these pads that when exposed to air causes an exothermic reaction (hooray chem nerds! haha), and you stick 'em on your socks so they keep your toes nice and warm for a full 6 hours :) They're absolute heaven!! haha! I'm happy to report I'm gradually improving my snowboarding skills! I managed to smack my head when I was going down the hill... I fell on my butt, then my head whipped back and I hit the back of my head *ouch* not fun! I got whiplash from that hit plus a mild headache.. which I still have.. is that bad? So during lunch, we were talking about when we would know when to stop snowboarding, and Dave says "Oh.. you stop when you get internal bleeding!" HAHAH we were like... wha? oh Dave!

My butt is so sore :( LoL my butt got an email "get well card" from Rita's butt.. Thanks Rita's butt!

Other notes: we caught 2 mice with Marta's trap! Hooray! so that means.. 4 down... how many more to go? eeks!
