What a long week! Today I told myself that I had to be organized so I could leave for my annual girls' ski weekend. It was more difficult than usual to get away from work this afternoon but I finally headed out of town with ( I think) everything I need..that would be wine and chocolate! My friend has been hosting Girl's Weekend at her log home every year for I think 18 years and I've only missed a couple. There are usually about 5-6 of us and we live in different areas of the metro area and Grand Junction so this is usually the only time we see each other all year. The amazing thing is that we just take up from where we left off the last time! Our leader makes us get up early on Saturday morning so we are the first on the chair lift and we ski our butts off! Well, actually I usually find an excuse to stop after lunch.."oh my leg", etc. so I can sit in the coffee shop. All these ladies are older than me but boy they can ski! The rest of the weekend involves talking, eating, drinking good wine, talking, eating,...you get the idea. I usually really excel in all those activities! We used to have an activity on Sunday like snowshoeing or cross country skiing, but we grew out of that! Well, off to bed so I have time to dust off my skis in the morning....
