Delicious Creamy Zucchini

Last night Peter and I were trying to decide what to make for dinner.... and because we had Squash and Zucchini that needed used, we decided to make a casserole. It was cheesy and gooey and creamy and probably had more dairy in it than vegetable. Probably not, but it was close. Oh, and it also has bacon. It turned out beautifully. It briefly crossed my mind to take a picture and venture into the food blog realm... but I was too hungry. So we just ate it. And I'm making it again tomorrow. Em is a very lucky girl. Bones night is on again!! Life is good. Oh SO good.

Snow day from Skiing

So I was supposed to go skiing today, and the weather gave me a reprieve. Due to the roads being closed last night... We couldn't make it up the mountain! Yay!  I mean BOO. Right. I now have one more week to enjoy being whole and ambulatory. 

I'm probably blowing this way out of proportion. But what if I'm not?

I'm still excited/terrified.

In other news we had Charlie Chow's Mongolian Beef for dinner. Is that really news? I guess in the blogosphere it constitutes as something like unto news. Maybe.It was tender and delicious. Very oniony. Oh and it was the non-spicy type, so I'm having the leftovers for lunch!!! I'm excited. No terror involved.

The afternoon...

Today after work, I'm going up to Kamas. And then. . . tomorrow... I'm going ... SKIING. This could be terrifying folks. You may never hear from me again. Then again I could be the next idiot savant skier... but probably not. I'm really just crossing my fingers and hoping to not fall over a lot. That's pretty much as far as I get when I'm thinking about this. Please, please, please let me... let me...not come home with a bruise. Or 20. I'd much prefer that. Also I hope that my in-laws don't think I'm really bad at this, as this is what they do for a living. Basically I'd prefer not to look like an idiot.
Unless it's the savant kind. I could live with that.

Clear and Cold

No snow today... Just really, really cold. Most of the morning it's been around 10 degrees... Now that it's past noon, we've climbed up to around 44 degrees. Just balmy. Right.
On the upside, it is incredibly sunny out, and lovely. Beautiful clear blue sky.
And today, I get to go buy some snow gear, so we can go skiing for the first time in almost a decade. I'm a little terrified. Just a little though. I'm mostly confident. Besides any adventure that requires a little necessary expenditure, I'm all for!
I'll let you know how this all pans out.

ACK!

I just realized that I didn't post yet today. I guess that's what happens when I'm actually busy at work. Today, I'm proud to say, I got a LOT done. And tomorrow is February the 2nd. Which means there's an end in sight to this ridiculous thing we call winter. Not that it will end anytime soon here in UT. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. (The other day, just to be rebellious, I wore non snow appropriate shoes. *Gasp!) I hate that it's such a long tunnel. Anyway, I'm hoping this goodness is a sign. February: Sit up. Take Notice. You have a lot to live up to. Be awesome. Stay... wait. No. Don't stay cool. Get warm and usher in spring!
