co-habitation

i should be packing, but my apartment is cold and i've been spending as much time as possible away from it. i'm slowly unloading un-necessities on craigslist and making a substantial goodwill pile. my kitties have been quite lonely- i hope they adjust quickly to their new casa.

we completed our seventh day of boarding last weekend, and i'm feeling slightly more competent. at this point, i can comfortably place a large chunk of my initial failure on poorly sized boots (not that i'm completely writing off my difficulties with coordination or fear of speed...). almost three sizes too big, they made controlling the board a wee bit difficult.

tonight, we trek to santa fe for a non-snow adventure. tapes 'n tapes are playing at the brewery, and i m ecstatic!

au contraire, mon frere

Christmas was full of cookies and Eden, as my pictures will reflect.

i got to catch up with the Plano crew and ran into some random friendly faces at the Londoner. Fro yo with Maggie and Jeffypop, wine drinking and shopping with Carlotta, rock band and cranium with the boys...
Less family drama than usual, although my Nana called me a contrary fart and gave me the silent treatment on more than one occasion... Understandably, she's having a hard time deciding about the move. She's ridiculously attached to her belongings and i think they may win out over safety and family. It's a good reminder to myself that getting wrapped up in consumerism has very real consequences.

i'm all sorts of bruised up from our first day of snowboarding (and have an ironically consequential knot on my head from bumping into a cabinet while searching for ibuprofen and arnica). here's hoping for less falls and a better grasp of toe edge turns...
