step 1

a week from tomorrow, i will be on the slopes with the langley ward making another attempt at snowboarding. having tried it once before, and coming away with not much to show for it, other than some gorgeous black and blue marks in the oddest places, i decided this year i would enlist the aid of professional help.

unable to find the kind of professional help i really need, harwood has agreed to show me the ropes. since he is being very gracious to do this (or mostly gracious, as it turns out i might have to clean his room in exchange) i am hoping to make him not regret his decision, and have subsequently begun my preparation.

the first step: envisioning myself as a snowboarding chick.

dangit! i am already distracted by the possibility of a snowball fight!
