up to tahoe!

i am. SO. sore. even moving around in bed is painful.

but ahhhh it was SO much fun!!! bunch of co-workers and i went up tahoe for the weekend for some skiing/boarding. we rented this huge house (paid for by the firm, yay!) and took 4 cars up.


some highlights:
- smacked my tailbone and back of my head so hard against the ice i almost got a concussion
- falling everytime i got off the ski lift (seriously i can't seem to master this)
- banged up my knees due to numerous falls
- snowboarding faster than i've ever done so before, mainly to try and catch up with some coworkers who were friggin fast (that also meant tumbling down the slope fast) - went down mostly blue lines, graduated from the bunny slopes!

- almost dislocated my shoulder while frantically trying to stop
- almost boarded off the cliff twice, managed to fall just in time before my board went over
- played flip cups and the 'death of the ring' in drunken deubachery (i felt like i was back in a fraternity house)
- gambling in the casinos....i won 50 bucks in blackjack!!


the social committee's been doing well. think the next social is whale-watching (??!!), and an nba game late march.

awesomeness. okay i'm hungry now.
