This elevation is kicking my ass. Kicking it! The air is so thin here that walking up the stairs leaves my heart pounding and my poor lungs gasping for air. I feel like a fish thrown onto a dock half of the time. I arrived here almost three days ago, and I still haven't totally adjusted. But...
...today I went skiing for the first time since I was 12!!!!
I have spent the last 10 odd years of my life snowboarding, but that was getting kind of rough on my old bones, so I decided, hey, what the hell, let's give the old skis a try again. It was really fun! Telluride is gorgeous, and I swear I got distracted just staring at the mountains a couple of times. And it had just snowed about a foot the night before, so the snow was beautiful and untouched and sparkly. Mmm pretty. I did a lot better than I thought I was going to, but towards the end my legs turned into noodles and I ended up looking like this a couple times...

2. The Commodore Skirt :: ModCloth $57.99About a week ago I saw these adorable Embroidered Logs at Design*Sponge and have been dying to try it out myself! My grandma is really crafty, and I am staying with her another week, so maybe I will be able to embroider some logs with her and my darling little cousins! I just love saying that: embroider logs. Look at how cute it is! I think I want to do some skis....anyone have any good/fun ideas?
I won't even address the snowboarding story.. the last time I went I practically broke my tailbone and spent half of my time in at the ski lodge bar.
ReplyDeletein other news, the metallic leopard print is actually a minx treatment! its like a sticker that they nail tech warms under a heat lamp and then applies to your nail. nail polish chips on me after a day, and this is only slightly peeling off the tips and its been a week so?
