We had a white Christmas!

So we spent Christmas up at Tamarack again this year.  We really enjoy the area and all that there is to do.  We've all gone out snow shoeing, skiing, sledding and the adults drank a lot of wine. :)   (I'm in detox mode right now.)  Mike and I came back to Boise last night so we could put in a couple of days at work but we left the kiddo's up at Tamarack with the rest of the family.  I'm so jealous ~ they get to ski every day and play out in the snow!      

The Rockettes...

Taking the kids to see the New York City Rockettes tonight.  Should be an amazing show and I'm sure we'll all be practicing our eye-high leg kicks all night long! 

Thankfully the show is over just in time for the game - couldn't miss that!  Go Broncos!!

Where are you Christmas?

This year I have helped out with the United Way and we’ve adopted a family for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I’ve planned a Christmas party for my team at work and have attended a few parties as well. We even went to Seattle last weekend to have the Warren Family Christmas and spent some awesome time with family. But with all that I feel like little Cindy Lou Who, from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I’m just not in the Christmas Spirit even though I have given it a good shot.


Last night we did our Christmas with the kids since we’re heading out of town for the holidays. Although it was a lot of fun it just wasn’t the same as the kids getting up Christmas morning and having them pull us out of bed so they can start opening gifts. I’m thinking I will be making a few changes after this year and I know it may not be liked by some but I want the tradition of Christmas back. Is that bad?

Did you get your heart rate up today?

You all know it's good to get your heart rate going on a daily basis.  Here are a few things I did today to do just that...

* Shoveled 8 inches of snow from the driveway
* Worked out
* Put my car into a unplanned spin while driving home (I was following all of my driving tips too!)

Yep - I think I've done enough!  Now it's time for a glass of one of my favorite wines - it's a Malbec - label name - Layer Cake.  If you haven't tried it you need to.  It's great!  You know, they (not sure who "they" are) say one glass of red wine a day is actually good for you.  I'm so glad I was so healthy today!

Driving in snow...

So I was born and raised in Idaho and grew up driving in the snow and I never got into a wreck. But I do have to wonder why most of the people out on the roads don't know how to drive in the snow! So here are a few tips that I wanted to tell my fellow commuters tonight as I was crawling my way home.

Tip 1 - down shift people! Even if you have an automatic you can down shift and it's better then hitting your breaks on the slick roads!

Tip 2 - Just because you're in a big truck does NOT mean you can drive fast on ice. Point proven when you pass me and then I pass you a mile down the road and you are in the ditch!

Tip 3 - turn into your slide. Don't fight it.

Tip 4 - do Not tailgate me - I mean - do NOT tailgate anyone! Sheesh!

This is not rocket science and we have at least 4 more months of this so please be careful out on the roads!
