Another very short check in.....

On Saturday JR headed up to the ski hill with the older two.  It was going to be the first outing of the season.  (They start lessons, along with JB, late February.)  It took longer to get out the door and a few unintended stops, but they finally made it.  They went to the ticket counter and as JR was grabbing his credit card to pay for the tickets, he was told the resort was closing because of high winds.  Take a look at the video that someone captured of those winds....

((not sure if the video will link up..if not, copy and paste the above...it is crazy.  So glad my boys were not on a chair lift when this hit)
I was somewhat frustrated with how long it took them to get to the resort, but turns out, that the timing was perfect.  Once tickets are bought, no refunds are given.  We were about 30 seconds from not getting a refund.  Oh well, will maybe try next weekend.

As you can tell from the lack of posts, not much has been going on or I just have not felt like posting anything.  I know there are several pictures on my camera I need to download, but I am tucked in bed under my electric blanket and my camera is not close by.   Seems like as winter wears on, I find I spend more time under the blankets!

I meet with my 'personal trainer' tomorrow to do my fitness test.  Since she is not certified yet, she said she wants to use me as her guinea pig.  She is okay with my bringing JB too, if I need to.  Would be nice if I could do a few workouts with him with me, then the time he is at school, I could do other things, like curl up under my blanket with a book!  On Friday we set a first goal of 24 pounds by mid April.  It seems like a huge goal, but one I am committed to pushing towards.  She is setting up a circuit program for me and from the sounds of it, she will try to work out along side me a few days a week.

Off to bed!
