Explosions.
Posted by: retardedrugrat on: March 13, 2008
Since the disaster that was my “ski lesson” last Saturday, things have been a little weird in the home with Jeffers and I. It really set me back knowing that I wouldn’t be skiing with the group on vacation, and more that I wouldn’t even see Jeffers till the evening.
It upset me that I’d be left to figure things to do on my own, on a vacation meant for the both of us to get away and spend some valuable time together, away from the drag of everyday life. This had been eating at me all week, and it got worse when I had an email back from Big White, informing me that Snowboarding lessons are all booked up for the week (It’s Spring Break, after all)
Tonight, things reached a head, and Jeffers and I had a HUGE explosion. Apparently, because I wanted to be able to spend some time with Jeffers, and because I didn’t want to just be sat in a room all day long, it meant I’m a spoiled brat. Of course, at that I saw red. Jeffers had been the one saying “Oh, we’re not going” whereas I’d been the one saying “We’re going, we’re not letting your dad down.” So a screaming match ensued. Most refreshing I must say. We haven’t had one in forever lol.
To cut a long story short, Jeffers called his Dad in desperation for help. And his Dad had a good idea. It was decided that each day, Jeffers will ski until 12 or 1pm, and then the afternoon is shared with me, before we meet up with the rest of the group for dinner and drinks in the evening. It does mean that Jeffers will be doing more driving that he expected to, which sucks, cause he was looking forward to the break from that. So a crisis (a crisis in my eyes lol) has been averted and hopefully, things are all sorted out, and we can both look forward to a good vacation. I really should start getting things organized this weekend, along with sorting what laundry has to be done first and what can wait till later in the week. We’ve been waiting forever for this vacation, and all of a sudden, it’s happening too fast!
On a different note, I would like to thank those of you who clicked on my minicity. But please, keep going back once a day and keep clicking! It only takes 2 minutes of your time, with nothing to sign up to, and it means I can build a bigger and better city.
Ciao.

Huckdoll: It’s not something I can really relate to, having never skiied before (And not really having the desire to try again lol), but I know Jeff can ski all day for a week and not suffer too too much. I guess that comes from skiing from such an early age, AND spending some time as a certified ski instructor also.
It does suck about the Snowboarding. I was kinda upset when they got back to me and said “Sorry, all booked up.”
Meh.

Sweetpea – I had been so busy I had no idea! 
You know I know exactly how you feel. I was sick as a dog when I realised I couldn’t ski with the group.
But I still earned their approval and appreciation. I got up early with them every day, went to the slopes, waited at the bottom as they careened down, carried skis, poles, bags ran errands, carried coffees and worked as a private cheering squad to those more capable than myself.
babygirl, I know you’re upset. But life is more than one skiing holiday.
Life is you and Jeff together forever, with or without matching ski poles…..[huge hugs]

Craziequeen: YAY! I missed your face round these parts!! 
I have to admit, I’m over the worst of the upset – especially now that we got things sorted out. At the time, I felt so terrible, and so guilty. It felt like I’d be taking away from the fun of the experience for Jeffers.
Now though, we have a plan in place, and things are looking up, and hey, I still get to take awesome photos!!

I don’t know about Jeffers, but when I ski non-local, I usually stay on the hill until about lunchtime anyway. I know it’s a total waste of money (that’s why I sell my pass to the broke locals for say, ten/twenty bucks), but I find that I tend to overdo it on those big mountains really easily. So it’s either sleep in and go later or hit the hill early and relax after lunch. Sounds like a fabulous plan for you guys, but sucks to hear about the boarding lessons…you’re right…of course…spring break.
