a bit more

so, yes, the little pink plus confirmed that this is the beginning of the end.  kidding.  i wasn't actually as "surprised" as juno.  my body, with a mind of it's own, was fairly uncooperative.  thank the good lord for fertility docs and drugs...that's all i can say.  so, i'm about 9 weeks along and am due in june.  that seems like FOREVER away, but i'm hoping it'll pass fast.  time usually does.  

and, in what's possibly even better news, LOST starts back up on january 21.  hallelujah.  i've so terribly missed jack, kate, sawyer, sayid, hurley, john (i hate john), sun, etc.  seriously, i haven't been this involved in a television show since saved by the bell (reruns saturday morning on channel 13).

can't wait.

surprise.

Best idea ever!

Now I can run outside!!

Ski LCC for Free

I was just online checking snowfall totals for the local resorts and while I was on Alta's website I found this interesting bit of information for those of you looking to get in a few extra days of skiing this winter. If you go up to Alta on Nov. 15 and 16th from 11-4 p.m. and bring with you a coat to donate that is in good shape you receive a free lift ticket for the 08/09 ski season. maximum 2 lift tickets per person, which is a superb deal considering I personally have at least 9 warm coats that will never see the light of day. So head up there with your spouse/friends and snag some free passes while keeping some folks in our community warm this winter. If you don't ski or have no desire to ski you can donate the passes to me and I will find a place for them in my wallet. There is no better way to ski the unparalleled snow/terrain of Little Cottonwood Canyon, so get up there this weekend! And remember, Alta is for skiers (or any kevin bacon look-a-likes with patchwork neon pants.)

 

SNOW!!

So over the past 72 hours there has been a fair amount of snow fall in Salt Lake, but apparently there has been over 3 feet dumped in Little Cottonwood! That combined with the cold temps that allows for the snow guns to operate means that SNOWBIRD OPENS ON FRIDAY!! Ski season is here folks, and I am beyond excited! The above picture was taken yesterday at snowbird. 

It's Go Time!

Those of you who know me (matt) know that I love a lot of things; biking, skiing, wife, etc. One of those things I love is the Utah Jazz. I was so excited for the basketball season to begin and when I pulled up their schedule for the year to see who they were playing and what channel it was going to be on, I got a big time punch to the groin. The last few years they have played about half of their games on kjzz and half on a cable channel, which worked out alright. But this year there are like 6 games total on kjzz, that is horrible news for a jazz fan who doesn't have the cheddar to pay for cable to watch them play. I am going to be relegated to the computer room huddled in the corner listening to hot rod hundley announce the game in his drunken stupor on a radio with horrible reception. That is how my winter will be spent. I don't know how those pioneer folk did it...
