some photos of Cost Rica!

a great holiday mixed up w a little "revenge"

so far we have zip-lined, fished, snorkelled and "pooped" ... poor DLU came down with a tiny little tummy bug WHILE WE WERE STRANDED ON ISLA TORTUGA!!! good thing they had a potty there (even better that it came to fruition AFTER snorkelling!!) BAD thing -it cost $1 usd to poop!! bye-bye tip for tour company - they could have told us we needed $ for amongst other thing (chairs on beach, umbrellas, etc) the TOILET!!!!!

today mum and DLU are having a quiet day at the resort while she full re-covers - w the help of our friend ammonium - while DAH and BUDDAH and HAPPYHAPPY spend the day on a private boat fishing and swimming and SNORKLING!!!!! (this kid owes me, i tell ya!! LOL!)

SPRING ahead ... really?????

so don't forget to SPRING AHEAD tonight ... tomorrow is the day we get our hour back ... or do we give up an hour ...??? i don't know; you can be sure, however, that i WILL be dragging my sorry a** around for the next few days ...LOL!

SCRAPPY YUM YUMS!!!!

to ski or not to ski .... WHATEVER!

oh, i LOVE to ski. REALLY REALLY LOVE IT!!! i have had (most likely) my last ski of the season yesterday ... :o(

Sunday i walked the Chilly Half Marathon w Tracey, Pitsa and Julie. sloppy, wet, miserable walk. finish time 3:01.4 .... not a great time but ok considering the slop we had to get thru. the whole time, all i could think about was " ...damn, i hope i am not too sore to ski tomorrow! " lol!!! seriously warped sense of priorities, eh, ?!?!? trained for MONTHS for this race, but damn-it, i better be able to ski on Monday!!! heeheehee!!!

well, Mik and i made it up to Collingwood sunday night and chilled w Lyn ... dinner, drinks and a few laughs!

Monday i was definitely a bit sore but i am sure the skiing helped stretch me out ... it was a great day! REALLLY like Blue mountain... i think next year i need to make more time to ski ... i am continually surprised at how i am learning (or RE learning, in this case) to LOVE new sports!!! i was an ok ish skier in highschool and uni and pre-kids but totally happy to give it up when the kids came along. when i started skiing a few yrs ago i developed a passion and have taken a few lessons and i think i am a better skier as a *29 yr old than i ever was in my early (er) 20's!!

too bad DAH doesn't ski .... good thing i have my peeps!

the nose recorder .... yup!

enjoy! maybe this will help Tuesday be a better day than monday!!
