Ski Trip!

Yup! Chris and I went skiing again yesterday and had a BLAST!! We are both getting really good. We even used one of the trick boards for beginners this time! I am soooo trying that again next time we go. I bought new poles are that are sooo much lighter than the other ones...and they were 50% off- sweeeet. Here are the videos of us racing down the slope.

FAILED!

I'm kissing that 4.0 GPA good-bye this semester. Just failed my test for my Exceptional Learners class. This was a surprise because this instructor usually does a wonderful job explaining things exactly as she is going to put them on the test, but not this time. So, here I am on my day off at 10 in the morning, balling my eyes out. I knew I should have taken that test later - had till Wednesday to do it, but really felt like I was prepared enough to do it now. Stupid, Stupid! ...I didn't mind the questions so much as the one hour time limit. Another 30 minutes and I would have had time to actually process the last 20 questions instead of rush through them.

Superbowl!

So No, if you were wondering - The Colts dd not win the Superbowl...But we had fun cheering them on with Mike and his boys. I told Little Mike when he's playing in a Superbowl ~ I want box seats. :)

Got My Hair Did =)

Surprisingly, I'm really liking the dark.

Car Trouble

So, my car has been acting up again. It warned to Check Coolant Level a few days ago. So Chris checked the coolant level, and filled the reserve. It was fine, then Thursday I'm driving to work and I have no heat. No toes are freezing off! Then, on my way home it says Check Coolant Level again. Of course, I forget to mention it to Chris - and on my short little drive to work I get a warning Engine Hot - AC Off. So I make it to work before I'm in the red, and Chris comes to look at it on his lunch. He decides to drive it back to work after adding some more fluids to it. It over-heats, and he has it towed. It is being worked on now. We're told it is a split in the hose. Not too terrible, we just hope that it really is that simple.

Reading *Update*

So...I tried, tried, and tried again to read The Year of Fog quickly- but I couldn't...it was sooo incredibly boing for me. So, it has FINALLY been read, returned and replaced with the much more enjoyable read "High Crimes," by Joseph Finder. I love the movie, so I thought I might enjoy the book - Which I do! It is different from the movie, but I am really enjoying it. Should be done with it in the next few days.

We've been WAIT LISTED!

Put the money Chris won in Vegas to good use this morning....Paid the per-seat fee for getting on the Colts Season Ticket Waiting List!!! Holla! Now we just got to wait the three to seven (or more) years to get them offered to us! lol

Someone STOP me!

I have bought tickets for two different events today! Someone needs to take my decision rights away from me! The first I bought are the Chelsea Handler -Comedian Tickets in April - and Smuckers: Stars on Ice tickets in May! Argh, Now I'm broke!

Too Much???

Vegas Baby!

So...I couldn't go to Vegas because air fare was way too expensive, but Chris is out there for business and having a heck of a time. He loves it. They have taken limo rides, went to the Hoover Dam, went gambling, and is having a good time hanging out with other people from the business...you know growing his business relationships...

He went out last night...got 100 out of the ATM of his allowance and walked out with $580. I think going to the Blue Chip with our $10's a visit has him use to just putting the winnings aside and only spending what he went to lose. Considering he was with people from work, I'm so proud of him for not trying to show off and keep betting it till it was gone.

Hmm... wonder what he is going to spend it on??

School Update

Things are going good. In all three classes I have the max points possible. My first portfolio assignment got me an "Outstanding job, Lara! These are exemplary documents." response. I love instructors that praise, because I did work very hard and sometimes it is nice to get more than just a grade.

Bank Robbery

All I can say is Thankfully it wasn't us! One of the near-by branches got robbed yesterday. I guess dude walked in the doors with the gun stretched out in front of him. My friend saw him enter and she hid, but he put the gun to a customers head. The customer at the drive-up saw a guy with a gun and people with their hands in the air, and she followed the guy when he left and called 911 leading the cops right to him. (Glad she did so he got caught, but how dumb at the same time). So yes, he was caught - but it doesn't make any less nervous.
