Brrrrrrrrrr

Ok, I know I was really excited about my first winter in Colorado. I had these wonderful dreams of snow, gluwein, wearing lovely scarfs and boots........
Ya Right, we had our first cold snap this weekend, and I nearly froze to death. Monday morning brought a rude shock to my system, when, trying to leave for work, my car was covered in ICE, the temp in my car was probably 3 degrees less than the zero temps outside.

Thanks to Chris, he put this stuff in my wiper water, which basically dissolves the ice. Unfortunately it does not help for the hypo-thermia.

Me leaving the House - (-:

Anyway, ski season has started, and Arapahoe Basin is the first ski slope to open. Who know's, maybe well take all that fancy gear of our's and try it out this weekend, after I stock up on more thermals.
Other than my little African "ass" trying to adjust to this Colorado winter, life's good. Chris is still job hunting and we are hoping for some positive feedback next week.

Chris won best speaker at Toastmasters this week, I did my first evaluation speech, but did not win )-:
At least one of the Seagram's are bringing back the awards. Well Done Chris!
Last weekend I Volunteered in the SAP Kipp School Volunteers day, which was great fun. The project was to plant some plants and put in a irrigation system. The weather was freezing and rainy, but with all the digging and shovelling, we soon worked up a sweat. I felt like I had been rugby tackled the next day, who knew gardening was such a work-out.





It was also Jaclyn's birthday, and so went all had to dress up and go out to dinner. The restaurant was in castle Rock, a stunning little spot, with fusion cuisine.



The gals, Jaclyn, Me and Melissa



Melissa and Art


The yummy cuisine

Other than that, it seems that the market's are recovering slowly, the big presidential election is almost a month away, and so far, I'm not sure if McCain or Obama are leading the race.

We have a busy weekend ahead of us, dinner with Melissa and Art on Friday, and the dinner with Mike and Marianne on Sat - Socialites!
