T minus 3 days

or is it T plus 3 days? whatever it is, we're going on our somewhat-annual ski trip in 3 days! just getting down to the nitty-gritty of shopping, arranging rides, and what-not.

ski trips are great. it's a lot of work for a 2-night getaway, but it's all about hanging out w/friends, partying and having fun! there's been a few times we only skied for about 3 hours. that darn hot-tub is such a draw :) this year we're going to sun peaks. i've only been there once, when i was in grade 12. i don't really remember much, except i was with my family and we kept on fighting. messed up.

anywhoo, there are 9 of us going, so it should be a blast. besides drinking, we always have a ton of food! our menus don't change too much, because i like simple meals that don't require a lot of preparation or ingredients. the only thing i'm really making is a chicken cordon bleu. chris and i have made it several times before, but i found an actual recipe that i might follow this time (i'll post the recipe once i know it's a success!). this time of year is when i also get my fill of bacon, eggs and sausages! it's always nice to grease up someone else's home instead of my own.

i'm beginning to wonder if i should have gotten a tune-up on my skis.... i last used them for the 2004 ski trip, and that was only one day of skiing. i should be ok, right?!?! ah well, i might be cruising a little slower than the rest of the crowd. no biggie. at least i have ski pants! i realized during our move two weeks ago, that i didn't exactly fit my pants from before, so i made a mad-dash to two different Sport Chek locations, and found a great-fitting Columbia ski-pant for $100. not too shabby for end of season blow-out shopping :P
