An update on the week

Hey All – my entries have been sporatic and short lately – so it’s time to change that and tell you what’s been going on:

Dec 25th – Christmas was super! We had turkey for dinner and it was good I tell ya I was stuffed after eatting and was feeling sleepy. Just eneded up hanging out with the family and watched some movies at home instead of going out and having a Christmas get together/dinner over at Katie’s with my friends [it was probably the best choice considering i was falling asleep just sitting at the desk hehe]

I got what I wanted for Christmas so that was good I received a new Gap Jacket, DaKine Gloves, Columbia Ski Pants, Scott’s Ski/Snowboarding Goggles, and a Gap knit cap. Actually – i got money for Christmas and bought what i wanted

Dec 26th – I went snowboarding for the first time ever at Mt. Hood Meadows! MAN IT WAS AWESOME! I want to go again!! I went with Simon, Nhan, Nhien, Tom, Chao, Chao’s bro, Long, Oliver, Jimmy and Phong. I fell on my butt so many times in the first few runs, but I kinda got the hang of it after the third run down. I wish I had brought my camera though, but others took digitial photos so it should be all good.

I went down to Big 5 today to exchange goggles.. I bought a pair of Giovani Viper goggles for 40 bucks Friday, but they had a pair of Scott’s goggles on sale for 29.99 today! I’m thinking about purchasing my own board if I really really like it – we’ll find out soon i guess

Dec 27th/28th – Well this was a long day. Jill held a sleep over at her place last night and a bunch of my friends from high school [Chantelle, Katie, Troy, Alicica, Kristina, Erika, Kirby, Lam, Jamie, and Josh] showed up and just hung out. We played Catch Phrase for a little while, then watched Seven off my laptop. It’s a good movie… hehe Chantelle and I remembered all the scenes and kept talking about the movie as it was playing. Katie and Jamie kept jumping at things – like the part where the guy was tied in bed for a year gasped for a breath hehe

We ended up playing games around 3am until like 7 in the morning. The sun was coming up and we finally went to sleep around 8 this morning.. Jills cat [Basil] was playing around most of the night and kept jumping on my sleeping bag. She stepped on my eye this morning and woke me up! Finally got up around 2 in the afternoon… and we found out that Basil had pee’ed on Chantelle’s sleeping bag (hahaha)…

—-
I might be going snowboarding again Monday morning/afternoon with Lam and a few other people, but i’m not sure yet… still sore from Friday.

Tuesday: PAINTBALLING!! Let me know if you want to go! Its always more fun with more people! So far I only know that Katie, Simon and Chao are going for sure. Only $35 to get in at Hit and Run Paintball (downtown). That pays for the cover charge, gun rental, co2 refills, 200 rounds of paint and goggles.

Anyhow! Dinner time
