Going skiing for the very first time!

Today after work, BF and I are going skiing. I’ve never been skiing (or snowboarding) before, so I’m going to be pretty pathetic out there. Apparently on Mondays, lift passes are free for women … otherwise they’d be $23 or something like that. So all I have to pay for is rental gear. Not too bad. I’ve secretly got high expectations that I’ll catch onto this skiing thing easily, but I have no coordination of any kind, so chances are I’ll spend most of my time falling down and looking like an idiot. :)

Tomorrow we’re going to my suite to measure and take pictures of everything. I’ve started to make a list of things that I’ll need to pack, as well as things that I’ll need to buy. I’ve been watching Craigslist religiously the past few days (the Vancouver listings, as well as the one for my hometown), and have a few leads on couches. I’m just praying my queen-sized mattress fits in the bedroom, otherwise I’ll have to buy a smaller mattress.

Sometime this week I’m going to have to go to a mall and pick up a gift for a good friend’s baby shower on Sunday. I completely forgot that I had to go to it, so it’s a good thing we’re heading back to the island right after work on Friday.
