I'm a little sore...
Just a little bit, because yesterday was my first (finally) trip this winter to the mountains to go snowboarding! It's been way too long. I haven't gone since last winter when JJ and I went for the weekend. Yesterday was a lot of fun. I actually went with a few freshman and we had a great time.
Mike and Danny knew what they were doing, so I stayed with them for most of the time. However, on the first run down (which was Lizzy and Will's first run ever), I stayed up with them for a little while to show them a few things. About half way down the trail, they were doing okay and were together, so I told them I was gunna actually snowboard for the rest of the trail and I'd see them when I came back around...
As I was on the lift going back up, I here a guy shout "Holy shit, look at that!". I look, of course, and am hysterical to see a snowboard sans boarder flying down the mountain. It ran over three people before we lost sight of it around the bend, where it was still going strong. We get to the top and I begin to enjoy my first full ride down.
On the way I was on the lookout for Lizzy and Will to see how they were doing. When I'd almost reached the bottom, I finally spotted them, but they were walking down. And they only had one board.
Yepp. So Lizzy had fallen and while she was taking a break on the mountain decided to take her board off. And yes, she didn't grab onto it well enough because it slid away and was far enough away when I saw it on the lift that it was impossible for Will - also inexperienced - to catch it.
I went back down and found Mike and Danny. We went up and tried to look for the board but it was long gone. It either went off into the woods, where it was too dark to see anything or someone took it. $400 later, Lizzy had to pay for the board and her evening was cut short. I felt really badly, but I's also spent the money to snowboard so I tried to - well I did - enjoy the rest of my time on the mountain. I love boarding so much and really had a great time.
That's why I'll be going again in two weeks :)
But um, until then, who can come give me a massage?

Foolsville...I shoulda stopped by and gave you a massage the other day. But someone had to be napping, didn't they?
We'll see if you want one on Friday.
