Winter can be long and boring and so can spin class. To spice things up a bit, I started a weekly challenge for my spinners. We started out easy with eat a piece of fruit daily. This week's challenge is to stretch for 10 consecutive minutes each day. I thought I would post them each week on our blog, just in cae some of you are looking for a little challenge to get you through the winter months. Plus you might pick up a new healthy habit. So start stretching! Billi

Well we both had some time off during the holidays. We talked about going boarding a lot during the two weeks but after a couple of days we had changed our minds. The weather became warm and the powder seemed to be covered with moguls. So we decided to figure out what we will do next. Well it did not take long to find a light bulb out in the utility room. It seems every year about this time we do some work to the house, so somehow it all began again. While changing the light, I thought I think I could build those shelves better. So after ripping out the shelves we thought this floor sucks. So after ripping up the floor we thought we have to repaint the room. Then it was we should repaint the kitchen ceiling. Then we came to the kitchen light, and thought I need to paint under it. So I started to take it apart when I broke one of the bulbs. Then we thought let's take it all off and put in a new one. After taking it off we had to go find one. After realizing no one carried ...

No, I'm not blogging about depression or the road to Hotel California. I'm talking about a down coat for snowboarding. Last year Brad and I spent much time on perfecting our layering system so that we didn't freeze while snowboarding. I think we got up to 5-6 layers and waddled out to the Bonanza Chair. I think you could have tapped us on the shoulder and we would have rolled down the hill like a tire. Brad picked up a Mountain Hardware down coat in Moab and was the only one nice and toasty on a cold , windy day on the slopes. I was convinced-- I needed one of those. So for Christmas, I received a Mountain Hardware down coat of my own from my mother & father in-law and husband. I got to try it out on Christmas Day. It was windy, cold and snowing but my new coat kept me so warm that I had to take off a layer. Why hadn't I gotten one of these last year? The other thing that I can't believe I had been living without while living in Colorado is a pair of warm snowboots. I ...

If you have not noticed by now that the blog came to a screeching halt. You must need to read this more often. After the list we took a break from several things and blogging was one of them. We are now starting to get back into several of the things we let go. So let's recap December so we are all on the same page. On the first, we started to woder if the snow was going to come to Wolfcreek or not. The runs were rocky, the days were warm and the tickets were half price. We found a couple rocks right away but nothing that caused our boards to have some reconstruction surgey. The little snow there was turned to ice and then getting off the chair turned into a extreme sport all to itself. The treasure chair became the most difficlut/exciting. There was this kinda launch pad with a SLOW sign 15' away that acted as a safety net for people who could not go SLOW. On the way up to the top, the rider on the chair would have to get all ready to hit the launch, try to avoid the ...

Our blog came to a screaching hault once the list ended and blogging was not mandatory. The list has changed our lives. The other day we were driving to Moab and were getting hungry and I was looking at places to eat thinking if they were fast food or not. We have yet to drink a can of soda. We still take our dogs on a walk as often as possible because it really made Tucker into a better dog and we have enjoyed it also. One night I was watching some TV when I thought to myself that I had not eaten fruit and so I ate an apple, then I realized the 32 weeks was up. The list changed us and we came out alright. We are thinking of a new way to energize our blog and have not settled on one way yet. In the meanwhile we have some updates and some photo albums to share. We just got back from Thanksgiving in Moab with my family and put our photos in the album. We did some wheelin', biking, hiking, and running. We all shared a condo, food, and beer. We laughed, argued, and talked. ...
