no more sleeps

The following is far from composition brilliance- just my little voice being belted out to the world from the heart of the Rockies~

Sitting in the semi-dark of this kitchen that I call my office…at least until I hear ‘girls, please put your stuff away’.

The thriving mountain metropolis hasn’t changed much. There is snow and the twenty year old, fondly remembered lights sit atop the street poles downtown.

We never have to worry about being alone for lunch as any short walk downtown will ensure that you find someone willing to spend some time reminiscing and catching up. Who’s doing who and what’s what, you know- the usual.

We spent most of yesterday decking the halls and having tea with Gran and Gramps. Today we had planned to staple way too many lights to the outside of the house and leaveless trees but instead were drawn into the contemporary world of bankers and cell phones. Many thanks to Erik, the one responsible for us giving our folks another push into the twenty-first century. Seriously, it took two cute blondes and one hot brunette to hook up one phone via the interweb. BUT we were successful! Mom didn’t want 342-7667 for a phone number tho…not sure why?! We eventually settled on a random number that was a little less…brown and very boring.

The highlights: spinning my glow sticks in the backyard until they froze, tobogganing in the way-too-dark school yard with Jess, shrieking and laughing our asses off- you can be sure we will be doing that a few more times before we leave. Boston crème filled cake for desert and some transcription productivity.

I sit here with my weird music coming through my headphones, Jess is our room watching TV, mom is in the bath, Ralphy is soundly sleeping with at least one of his two cats, the tree lights are wonderful. Shit! Mom just snuck up on me by accident, the moment is broken, but before I go: did you know that if you put an * before and after a word, MSword makes it bold? Amazing technology we have, but not quite as cool as html!

~some hours later, it has started to Chinook, may not be playing in the snow as much as I hoped…we’ll see, ya never know what’s gonna happen in the mountains.
g’nite
