Beautiful, wonderful snow...2 feet to be exact!!

As I sit here at work, I can see the big, fat flakes gently falling to the ground from the latest snow system we've had here in Vail. It's so beautiful and yet so cold!! I'm so excited how good my little asian vehicle does though. Even without snow tires, my car climbs nearly 1,000 feet everyday to my job here in Beaver Creek. For those of you that are unfamiliar with where I live, here is a website that is all about my resort, www.beavercreek.snow.com . It's a great website where you are able to see how much snow we've gotten, different events going on at the resort and live feed cameras showing the mountain. It's World Cup week here this week so we have the likes of Bode Miller, Dahren Rahlves and Hermann Maier skiing our mountain faster than anyone ever will. I compare those guys to Tiger Woods, Phil Mickleson and Ernie Els in my world. I think the competition is televised sometime in January on ESPN or one of the other networks so keep your eyes peeled.

Lindsey Lohan and the rest of dumb hollywood girls...

So I'm watching a repeat of Jay Leno last night at about 3am which is only a couple hours after I get home from work and he had as guests Lindsey Lohan and Dane Cook. Leno's studio audience is filled with guys from all facets of our wonderful military: Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard. Apparently, Lindsey Lohan is making a film about Bobby Kennedy and she plays a part of woman who marrys men so they don't have to go into the Vietnam war. And swear to god, this is what she says, "It's for a good cause, right??" Audience: dead silent.
How ignorant can you be Lindsey?? I realize that the Vietnam war turned out to be very political and the most deadly war ever but these guys served our country. They died for what hopefully was going to be a good cause and so are our troops today. You wouldn't even die to save your Manolo's. So don't sit around expressing your 18 year old dumb self like you know what you're talking about. You could be living in a pile of old newspapers under a dictatorship that makes you cover your face and not speak unless spoken to. Be thankful, little spoiled Hollywood grrrls, that you have shoes to walk in, food to eat and a 30 million dollar roof over your head!!! Get a grip, live in reality and SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

Friends named Mike

I've gotten in the habit of calling a lot of my friends by their last names over the last few years. I think it all started when I lived in FL. One of my best guys friends, who I haven't actually spoke to in forever, is named Mike S. This friend is the best friend a gal could ever have. He would go out to the Orlando Alehouse with me just because I didn't want to go by myself, with full knowledge that I would probably be secure with my surroundings in about 15 minutes. On one of these occasions, I met one of the cutest Mike's I know: Mike W. He's also a PGA Class A golf professional from New York, so when I refer to him, I call him by his last name or just New York Mike (I will see you soon!!) Another Mike is Mike M. I met him through a guy named Kevin Y who used to play golf on the Nationwide Tour and Mike M. was his caddy. Now Mike M. is one of Orlando's finest fireman and I do mean FINE!! Last but definitely not least is my most recent addition to my Mike collage, Mike D. He's definitely been a big part of my life the last year and hopefully we can be pals for the rest of our lives.

MTV in Vail???

So supposedly the MTV Network is filming some new reality show with Vail Resorts onVail Mountain. At least this is what I've heard. For those of you who are not familiar with Vail Resorts, it's the winter snow version of Disney, the corporate side. Anyone who wants to read about the development of Vail Resorts should read Powder Burn. Not sure who the author is but it tells a lot about the how the town started and has turned into a corporate (or so it looks that way) monster. But anyway, back to MTV on the mountain. Not sure if I would stick around if MTV was actually in Vail Village. The last thing I want to do is see myself on TV hanging out with a bunch of my friends in the background of the show looking like a gaper. Gaper (pronounced like ape-r with a guh sound) is a word that I learned from my good friend Dennis. He uses it to describe numerous silly looking people (or tourists) who think that fur hats or their blue fag bag one-zy is the latest mountain fashion. "Hey GAPER, take your goggles off when your not skiing and please rub the sunscreen all the way in on your face."

Mission Statement of my Blog

Have you ever tried to get someone's attention over and over again by doing a number of different things and then finally do something that you are oblivious to and finally you've got their attention?! The purpose of this blog is not to hurt anyone's feelings or make anyone upset. It's for me to be able to express my feelings about different stuff and people and guess what....there's a thing called the 1st amendment that I think this blog falls under. This blog will also let you guys know about my life and the different things going on in it. If you identify with anything or maybe you recognize a situation that sounds familiar, deal with it. Maybe I'll try not to use specific names but you know who you are and to ask me not to talk about MY LIFE on MY BLOG is heinous!!! Family stuff will be kept completely private, that's a no brainer. Friend situations are another story, so if I think you'll be offended, I'll use an alias for you. As for those who have already expressed concern, you can rest assured that I will use an alias for your name(s) in the future. And there is only one person and you know who you are...

I sent you guys emails...

I have recently sent a bunch of my aquaintances, friends and relatives this website address so I hope to get some feedback from you guys soon. So you guys who even care about me at all can log on and keep up with my random thoughts and life. I will try to post everyday, so WELCOME TO MY LIFE!!

My friend Gretchen

I love my friend Gretchen!! We do this thing when we text each other that is hilarious (well, to us it is) and keeps us laughing at life and eachother. Have you ever heard about the Pink Dot delivery company on the west coast? Apparently there is a company that delivers whatever you want in 30 minutes or less and they will get anything for you. So we think of the three most random things you can think of and put them together. Like: Can I get a map of Bosnia, a Dixie cup full of Prell shampoo and a garden gnome?? Bosnia and garden gnome are ones we've used before but a couple of my favorites to reprise. Gretchen and I met at our favorite yet torn down bar called the Sundance, in the heart of local Vail. We met through an ex boyfriend named Chris, who I 'm sure will come up in later posts. All I know is that we are a couple of really cool chics and he is a very confused 39 year old guy. Love you Gretl!! I'm so glad we're friends!!!
