Promised I’d tell you when I tried something from Pinterest. This was a “beach wave” hair style tip. You roll your hair on the curling iron backwards. It looked horrible while I did it but settled nice, ish.
What do you think?

2011 was pretty unreal. As a matter of fact, one of my favorites. Skiing the beginning of the year was great, Ski Utah asked me to stay, I was able to travel a ton, and see my family much more than usual. I discovered yoga.
We got closer to some amazing friends. We watched two of my favorite ladies in the world create some beautiful sons. We made huge progress on the house. Everything was great.
This coming year, skiing will be good, our life will be good, and wow, I’ve got some great company coming soon (not to mention a major birthday…)I’m full of the happiness in life and hope you had a great 2011 too, and wish you a perfect 2012~
Remember you create your joy with every breath, every thought, every word, every action.
So I’m sitting in the basement while I paint the last of the doors, listening to this free SXSW music channel thinking about the past few weeks – and cracking up about poor KD today.
KD told me she ran out of something probably a little important (reason why I hide names here LOL) to get us two coveted wristbands to enjoy music for the week of SXSW. Yay!
SO
I have had some crazy times here in our sweet little chalet!
I sure don’t want to jinx it, but 2011 is starting out being totally incredible. It might not seem like much when you write it all down to share, but it’s been better than I’d ever dreamed for us. I feel so blessed and hope that each and everyone of you wondering why I’m not calling is now all caught up and is also having a great year!!
Good Times!
Guess how many days of yoga and blogging I accomplished?
30 reasons I don’t make New Years resolutions. Since that’s just plain sad, I’m going to throw myself in to this again. Yoga recommencing soon and a real resolution: No fast food in February.
I’ll keep you posted!
No regrets, though. So far 2011 is (you guessed it Momm) the best ever!
Take a look at all the books I’ve already read under the Books tab at the top. MK got me 1500.
What a great day! A little snow, a little work, a lot of fun, friends, food and partying. Can’t believe I’m “working” right now, trying to wow Ski Utah with videos on par with my original…
But I did get to enjoy some sushi, basically my only goal for the day. Good times. Last night we were out at midnight, I’m not too old yet! My phone battery died twice with all the notifications and texts from all my lovely friends. Feeling pretty good!

Every year, January has been my birthday month.
That totally sounds retarded.
Every January, I celebrate my birthday for a month. That’s better.
It is my birthday month, all month. It’s all about me. I want MK to buy me a beer? “It’s’ my birthday month”. I want company to come visit? “It’s my birthday month”.
So far, there have been some highs and lows.
Highs:
Lows:
SB is coming soon, with presents and promises for even more silly video making shenanigans. I can’t wait.We’ve even got tickets to see Ghostland Observatory and Das Racist. Hopefully the rest of the month is as great as great as it’s started out. It will make me forget the getting older, entering (gasp) the last year of my twenties part.
Just reread December of 2009 posts. MK keeps telling me that I need to reinvent myself over here, do something new. Get back to a million hits a day, not 40. But how can I when we are doing the totally identical stuff??!?
We went to the ski swap. We’ve been working on the house. It’s been snowing.
Seriously, how funny! I never thought we’d do the same thing more than once, what is this, a routine?
Sure things are new, the living room is a different color, I’m skiing all over Utah not at just one resort. But I’m looking forward to Deer Valley opening Saturday, and we’ve been clearing snow, talking about the weather, and putting off decorating for Christmas…just like last December!
I’m just glad we picked the right place, or we’d be really mad that we had to rebuild the entire deck. We’d hate that we’ll be inside nailing in trim when we get home from skiing. Fortunately, though, we’ve got that Santa Crawl to look forward to again. Company, nights out, ugly sweater parties, and POWDER days!
Time seems to be going by too fast. There’s no way I missed TWO Friday Fives! And my company is already gone? And we drove to Vegas and back already? I don’t even remember packing.
Maybe it’s getting old. Growing up must have something to do with it. We’re starting to feel like we’re running late! We want to be on our next house, our second kid, our new plans.
But right now is tons of fun.
Like everyone, I have to press pause, breathe deep, and let right now sink in; commit it to memory, and enjoy.
I swore last summer would be the best summer of my life, that we’d never be able to top it. And here we are, topping it.
The fact is that while you were all jonesing for blog posts and wondering what was going on in Park City, I was working on my fitness.
MK and I joined the gym here. My friend CL has made it her personal mission to not only show me all the classes and skills the gym has to offer, but to torture me inside and out, and probably revel in how much better shape she is than me.
Our 4th of July weekend was tons of fun but a bit mellow. I was feeling a little off so I was glad we didn’t go too crazy. We cooked out several times with the B’s and the McH’s, played with the kiddos, and went to the local parade (pictures coming soon).
But Tuesday we felt like it wasn’t over. I went to an early tough workout class, so I was exhausted at the end of the afternoon, and we napped. We went over to a friends for drinks. Wednesday CL and I went to the pool. Our gym has a POOL.
Thursday we went for a huge hike up Deer Valley, then to lunch, then to our neighbors for an impromptu party. The whole week has felt like the holiday never ended…and that’s my FAVORITE!
Between the workout class and the hike, I realized that I am in terrible shape. Back to the hardcore challenging my body. Back to work(out)!
Of course the very first thing Momm asked last night is why I was bothering to waste words on this topic. I told her it happened, I think and feel things about it, and it’s cathartic to have this space to get out those feelings and thoughts. I mentioned it to MK, and he agreed with Momm. Apparently he wants me to blog about current events and real issues. But wait! I assured them both this was current and an issue.
My point for telling the story was so that you could help me out. The thing is, I am friends with quite a few people. And I’m in the middle of making a whole new set of friends, in my new home. I want to be the best person I can and put my best foot forward. I feel like right now I can’t do that unless I clean up my past. I remain in touch with so many people. I go to places they all are often. I meet up with them. I might even try to avoid them, only to run in to them since they are all friends with other friends. I embrace my past and love my friends, but I honestly do a kind of crappy job keeping in touch sometimes. It’s hard to call if you haven’t got something new and interesting, and you’re worried about old stuff being brought up.
Point is, the last 100,000 times that I’ve seen anyone that knows the story I told you, they bring it up. “Have you heard from DH?” “What ever happened to DH?” and if you follow my Twitter (you must, it’s on the right of this page over there) you know that it’s been four years. Four years and, what, six or seven addresses later? As if I’m going to ever ask anyone or look around or hear about her. I don’t want to. This is me moving on.
But these friends of mine, and I do believe they are good friends, always bring it up. I feel like asking them how they felt when their dog died or their neighbor got cancer. It’s just not appropriate. So blog buddies, how do I get over this? I thought maybe sharing the story with you might help me get over it. And it did. It’s something that happened to me though, it doesn’t just go away. So how do I ever convince these people to help me make it go away? I don’t want crap like this on my mind as I go out in the world meeting new people. It creates unwarranted misgivings. I want to get this old stuff off my mind, and open it to new people without worrying theyd hurt me in any similar way.
