Okay, I'm just going to write as much as I can possibly think of in the 11 minutes before my lunch break is over, because it's ridiculous that I've gone this long without updating this amazing mind-dump. Hopefully later I'll be inspired to write even more.

Life is so good. I'm happy and healthy, and I laugh a lot - at work, home and play - and every single day I get to work/live/play with and run into people whose presence I really enjoy. That's all I really need from life right now.

It's been really snowy here the last few weeks, which is AWESOME. Snow is good for business in both of my occupations, and it's incredibly good for my well-being. In fact, I spent a whopping three days this week free-skiing, which is unprecedented for my ski season. (In clarification, I could actually free-ski whenever I want, but the resort snow has been SO lousy - and the backcountry so unstable - that I choose to work. Almost every day. Several weeks, even 7 days in a row. That bad.) Sunday, the snow was so good that I skipped church and skied in Snowmass with a bunch of good buddies - KD, RS, AT, HG, SL and my roommate AB. We lapped Burnt Mountain, which is technically hikable side country (out-of-bounds, but not quite backcountry...just better snow than the front side). Then Tuesday AND Wednesday I went to Highlands. That was so awesome that I'll write more and post pictures later.

I have costume parties to attend tonight AND tomorrow night. That's a good weekend. Tonight, I'm busting out my Elastigirl costume (from The Incredibles - my Halloween costume of four years ago), and tomorrow I'll be an angel for our Snowmass Rookie Party. It's an Angels & Demons theme...and come on, I can't really pull off the demon. Nor would I want to.

I'm a vegan now. I'll write more about that later, too.

I have so many Unexpected Sparks to write about that it's ridiculous, but for now, I'll close with my current favorite:
My senior year of high school I was a journalist for our newspaper staff, and one of the better ideas I concocted as a staff writer was to set up two of my friends on a blind date, which we reported on/photographed/etc. From what I remember, it went sort of awkwardly - not that I'm surprised, in retrospect - and when I texted the female half of that pair last week to remind her that I had publicly embarrassed her way back then, she told me that she ended up making out with the guy at a bar in Fort Collins a couple of years ago. TOUCHE, my friend, TOUCHE. I'm so proud. :)
