lactose is just one of the many things I don't tolerate

Contrary to what the title might imply, I do not have anything to rant about. The weather is looking up, third quarter grades are done and entered, Spring Break is a week away and my fake tan is coming along nicely. Life is good! Last weekend we took the girls to bspace for haircuts. We'd had a couple of not great hair cuttings at local places and when I was complaining to Chad about it, he informed me that their junior stylists did not cost nearly what he did. Hanna's been bugging me for awhile now to get her hair cut off and the new, zen mother Shea said, "Whatevs". I think they both look really cute with the short bobs. Hanna left yesterday for an overnight camp with the school and Grace had a serious meltdown. Who knew she liked her sister so much? She slept in Hanna's bed last night, which I thought was pretty adorable.

I'm no Lindsay Vonn. More like Lucille Ball
Tuesday I took a personal day and Kristin and I went on our long planned, long postponed due to Kristin having babies, ski trip. Kristin hadn't been in 12 and I hadn't been in a year. Mark Jones scored us discounted tickets to Deer Valley and we met him in Park City at the Stein to pick them up. I put them in my pocket and zipped my pocket up. Kristin says she saw it but when we got all our gear on at the lodge, the tickets were no where to be found. We retraced our steps, asked lost and found but finally called Mark crying because I just lost $120 worth of tickets. Mark was great and was able to get us new tickets for no cost. I think the crying was the key, and it was genuine or maybe he is used to crying and just wanted me off his back. Amanda? The skiing was great and Kristin and I were great skiing partners. I think if her boots hadn't been giving her blisters she would have been better than me since she skied more when she was younger. We both only wiped out once. By the end of the day our legs were so tired we couldn't go down another run. In fact the last run we went on, I had to stop halfway down and rest. I told Kristin I was ready to say, "Leave me Kristin and save yourself. I'll get down somehow." I did manage to make it down but we were both done after that. We are planning on making this a yearly thing and involving our children.
Pictures!
Hanna's long hair. For some reason I was super attached to this. She can grow some mean hair.

"Sisters, identical sisters" We went to The Rack right after the cuts and Grace was all worked up because the clerk asked if they were twins. When he could tell that upset Grace he back peddled and said, "Oh I can see they have different personalities." I wanted to say, "Yeah, the one with her arms folded across her chest glaring at you. She's the one I dread becoming a teenager."

The face of an angel, the temper of Lucifer himself.

We bought hair accessories at J.Crew. I wanted to say J.Crew so I look cool. Not as cool as Anthro but I'm not paying $25 for a cloth flower made in Pakistan.

This picture was making me laugh for a few reasons. I'm at REI buying my North Face vest I've wanted for a few years now and was taking a picture to show Ryan in the car. He was sitting in there because Grace was mad she didn't find anything to buy at Claire's and wouldn't go into the store. Check out Hanna's personal style. She's fun.

Hey haters! If I'm so vain, how come I put this most horrible picture of myself up? Can you say, "Michelin Man". I love Kristin's snow bunny pose. We learned the importance of goggles on this ski trip. We both just happened to bring them and they really helped with the wind in the face. Mine were the pair my parents bought me when I was on the school cross-country team in Jr. High. That's what cool kids did at your school right? They played trumpet in marching band and were on the cross-country ski team. Good.

Deer Valley is amazing. Look at this view.
