I haven't been inspired to update my weblog very much lately...it's a weird feeling knowing that the only way some of my friends "catch up with me" is via reading my weblog instead of calling me or writing me a letter. that disturbs me. ugh.



Anyhow, going back home to Lawrence, Kansas this weekend to see the family and introduce Thomas to my childhood...should be really fun. I'm looking forward to it...and then just a few days later, I'll be doing my whirlwind New York City - Puerto Rico trip which I badly need. I can't wait.

check out: banned PETA superbowl commercials

Yay! I'm going to Puerto Rico! Each year, I make my retreat to Isla Verde to enjoy the sun, good food, great music and the idea of doing absolutely nothing for a few days. I've gone with Linda for the last 2 years but she's not going to make it this year; however, in a quick email, I signed on Anna and her boyfriend, Steve, to come along. Oh--it will be so much fun...I cannot wait. I very badly need a vacation. Now, time to concentrate on getting to that bikini body....yeah right.



Went snowboarding on Saturday at Crystal--what a beautiful day it was. It was sunny, clear, the snow was great. I think Thomas is really picking up on his snowboarding...I'm quite impressed. He's much farther along than I was on Day 3 back when I was learning. We were so beat, though, when we got back...just crashed.



Suzanne and Chris held a Super Bowl party yesterday at their house, which was a lot of fun. She's a great cook and had all sorts of yummy munchies. I wasn't too impressed by the commercials on TV this year---there were some good ones...but overall, there didn't seem to be that many. The game was a good one to watch, though. That last field goal by the Patriots just as the clock ticked down to zero was so impressive.
