Skiing in Florida?

Yes, it is possible....albeit on a magic carpet treadmill-type thing. In celebration of my last spring break ever (boo), I'm planning on going out to Lake Tahoe to ski in March. Chad is an accomplished skiier and has been trying to get me to go for a while now, so for Christmas I got a nice new ski jacket and a lesson on this indoor machine at Bill Jackson's in St. Pete. Apparently, according to the instructor, I did really well, so that's a good thing. I learned about three different ways to get up if you fall down.....although I'd like to avoid that as much as possible. Anyway, it was pretty cool and I'm looking forward to March.

Yes, as a matter of fact....

...I am still alive. And that's a good thing...I think. It's the night before my last final exam, so things could be better, but tomorrow is the last final for the semester! Things have been busy busy around here for the most part. I attended the rescheduled Fantasy Fest this past weekend (I went as a "spelling bee" for those of you who are wondering...). I had a lot of fun, but it certainly wasn't as festive, what with it being in December as opposed to Halloween weekend. I guess one good thing about the rescheduling is that I only have to wait another 10 months until the next one rather than 12. (I already have my costume idea too--"All the Way Mae" from A League of their Own!)

Anyway, tomorrow after the exam I will be doing my holiday baking.....Ricotta Pies for our office party and cookies for my dear friends. (Read: I am poor and can't afford to get people real gifts this year). ;-)
