<p>Flag football season starts today and soccer season ends, so a busy day for me!  It is supposed to be chillythis morning so I picked up some of those handwarmer things for DW, DD and MIL.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good one everyone!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>FB~we call them 'mittens' in the Midwest. <span><img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Just about 7 inches of fresh snow from yesterday's storm.  I will attempt to go run in it by 6am or so.  Nothing is plowed yet.</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p>just a minor dusting in Mad City...maybe an inch or so?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BIG NEWS!!!!~~~></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Troll#1 called last night to say that he passed all five tests, and is now a member of the Colorado Ski Patrol</p>
<p>...specifically, a member of Telluride Resort's Ski Patrol...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Only five folks made the cut from over 30 applicants [25 of those got tryouts]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He said that he was confident that he had mad skeelz on each trial, especially the avalanche and wilderness medical clinicals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>proud mummsy~~> <span><img alt="love7.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/love7.gif" style="width:32px;height:45px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>WOO! Part-time, cuz none of the full-timers have retired yet. But WOO! indeedy!</p>
<p>(He'll continue working part-time in his regular resort job in addition to patrol)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>my guess is that he'll be doing lots of this during the season:</p>
<p> </p>

<p>getting to fire a howitzer for avalanche control and doing heli missions are on the top of his wish list <span><img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>porty- congrats to your son </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Off to work soon. Zoe had a major epic fail with Santa last night, so I think we will just go to the photo place and do a Christmasy portrait. Sigh. It was ugly, haha. Although our town had a really nice Christmas celebration in Historic Yellow Springs.</p>

 

[wherestheportojohn]

<p>Zoe would be teh kewt no matter WHAT she's doing!</p>
<p>Use one of her current sweet pix that you have already....no need to go seasonal??</p>

 

[altoids]

<p>'morning </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Congratz to Troll #1.  Hope he gets to fly and shoot stuff!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>meri, the best Christmas-themed pic I ever got of my kids was at K-Mart.  I think because they were quick about it really helped.</p>

 

[altoids]

<p>hey meri, did you know they have an all-womens boot camp fitness thing close to you?  I was looking at stuff online (not that I am going to a boot camp any time soon LOL) and I recognized the roads as being on the way to your house.  </p>

<p>Good morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I Hope all is well with all of you.  I've had some problems posting here lately and took a break as a result.  Things seem fine now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a new iPad.  My kids are using it more than me!  Angry Birds and Smurfs.  Sheesh!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DS has BBall this am and then we'll prolly get a tree.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good one.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>WTG Troll!</p>

 

[altoids]

<p>You know, Hanging Jury, for just a minute I thought the phrase "Angry Birds and Smurfs" was like a cuss phrase....<img alt="surprised.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/surprised.gif">  Sounds like something good to say when you hit your thumb with a hammer, right?</p>

<p>Just a short 5 mile run this morning from Peachtree Battle to 14th Street and back.  Stopped at McDonald's for breakfast since the Krystal's has closed in my neighborhood. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Later today watch the SEC Championship game between Auburn/USC (the real USC, not the California wannabee's. <span><img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>).  Don't really care too much who wins, although pulling a tad more for South Carolina because of all the adversity their QB has gone through the last three years having to deal with Spurrier.</p>

Good morning. My job today is to keep the kids busy while the movers are working.
