Next time your family is going skiing, I will come sit with you and read magazines and drink wine.<br /><br />C. Your husband rocks. Mine? Is awesome. But does not understand that I MIGHT not want to ski. An analogy: You couldn't imagine turning down lunch with Bono.<br /><br />The man has serious love for skiing. <br /><br />Thanks for this story. I feel sooo much better.<br /><br />My favorite line among many: "Michael Kennedy.

My fi...Skiing is hard! It's not for me either! <br />My first time skiing, I thought I was a natural. Some friends had me up and really getting it, in no time flat. <br />But, I got overconfident and actually flipped, my skis flew off. And I face planted on what felt like asphault. It kinda scared me! But, I was okay, until I looked up and the people in the lift above me started saying they'd get me help when they got to the top, and they were cringing!<br /><br />My friend took her skis off and ran back up to where I was and gasped. There was blood all over the snow, all over my cute new ski clothes. I was a mess. Ended up cracking a tooth that ended up absessing. And busted my head wide open. Should have gone for stitches, but didn't want to interupt the trip for anyone, so I just bled back at the house we were renting. Thankfully, it was ski in ski out, so I didn't have to take a shuttle back to the place or anything. The ski patrol took me back with sirens blazing for effect. Good times!<br />My dental work ended up costing more than the whole trip. <br />Since then, I've tried snowboarding, and found that renting a board to strap to my feet, only to come down on my butt, is a colossal waste of time. <br />I'm a tubing girl from here on out!Lula Lolahttp://lulalola.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323746891853175496.post-71170593964216714852010-04-21T14:22:59.950-04:002010-04-21T14:22:59.950-04:00following you from FFF on MBC

No way on earth would I ever snap on a pair of snow skis! My hubby is quite an athlete, and was a skating champion and tennis champion in Canada when he was younger, but not even he would ever ski again. All he did was hit trees! Unlike Sonny, he only got away with a few bruises.<br />I prefer to watch skiing on T.V., where it is safe and WARM.

Worse, I let my friend "teach" me how to ski. That's like letting your cat teach you how to swim. We got on the ski lift okay but getting off was another problem. She got her pole stuck on my ski and it came off right before we were supposed to jump off the chair lift. I panicked as I watched my ski go down the mountain. I knew it was going to be hard to ski with two skis but there was no way I could do it with one. I took the path of least resistance and rode the chair lift back down. I went to the place where there is a fire and alcohol and drank until everyone was finished freezing their ass off. That was over 20 years ago and I have never regretted that trip down the chair lift. <br /><br />I'm so glad you got to shop, that's a sport I could get behind.Jenhttp://www.redheadranting.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323746891853175496.post-12388009236916994632010-04-13T09:18:41.673-04:002010-04-13T09:18:41.673-04:00If I were there, I would have said Tom Hanks line ...If I were there, I would have said Tom Hanks line from "A League of Their Own": "Are You CRYING?
