hmm, haven't posted in a while. let's see, i went to las vegas back in february for a conference. unfortunately also NBA all-star weekend in vegas at that time...realized i hate the NBA and its associated culture. but it's easy to ignore here with the "blazers" stinking it up. but it was good times anyway. then i came home, got sick, had to work all weekend, and blew my nose constantly for about a week afterwards. i did a lot of lying around being unmotivated. i've done a little more snowboarding (i think i can make turns now!). i've been kind of looking into some used equipment because my beginner pass with the free equipment rental is used up. we'll see. it's also turning spring here. the flowers are blooming and the birds are singing. and i've been working on getting a garden started. it's probably a little early to plant a lot of stuff, but now i'm ready with my fabulous boxes all finished. i've also been working a lot so this week off is much needed.

hooray for julie getting us tickets!

my only snowboarding picture. it's nighttime but we're still going.
my new garden boxes, ready for some veggies, in my bonus yard that i don't use for anything else.
hotel room goodness.
