My scariest nightmare was being chased by an avalanche on my skis.
I just blogged about my scariest nightmare to enter The Uninvited Scariest Nightmare Contest for 1,000 credits. You can earn free credits too! Brought to you by The Uninvited - In Theaters January 30th.
Tcompanies should be required to take out the addictive elements.
I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!
So i brought jake to the public skate on Saturday, needless to say he was a bit reluctant to get out of his jamies. Towards the end of last year he began feeling confident standing and taking steps on the ice. So this fall i was excited to get him out again. As i was tightening his skates, he mention "you always do that daddy." do what, i said. "tighten my skates too tight."
He requested i skate while holding him around the rink, but that didn't last long and he was back to getting the feel again. I explained some basics that i didn't feel was necessary last year, as not to overwhelm him. Push forward with one leg a glide. He was looking around at the other little tikes and looked very determined. Suddenly he started moving his legs in and out and propelled him self forward! Success!! "VERY GOOD." i explained and let him know that's exactly how i started to learn. It had been so long that i had forgotten the basic, basic, form of keeping you skates on the ice and moving them in and out.
The skate was for almost 40 minutes and we got off before he could get frustrated or tired. He asked his mom the very next day if they could go skating. I'm so Pumped!! I do hope he picks up a full stride this year.
I have to remember the joy of learning hockey when he has 6:00 am hockey practice and wants the $400 skates.
Boy, am i finding it hard to stay in shape these
days. Ever since i took a break from hockey on Tuesday nights,
(saving $200 a month) my workout has been primarily at the gym.
However, my attendance at the gym has been less than satisfactory. You
know when you can't remember your 4 digit code at the counter, you're
slacking. I think it's time for some additional activities that may include
hiking or mountain biking. Bouncing back from a few weeks of over-eating
and pubbing in your 30's is, needless to say, not as easy as when you're
25. But i'm going to take charge..this weekend is going to be the
start of my new routine.
I may even pick up one of those men’s health magazines as
inspiration. Do those guys have jobs? Are they part
time cabana boys or what? I suppose it's whatever someone puts
their time and energy into. As with most people, i have a lot more energy
when I’m eating right and exercising. I guess it could be worse, i'm not over
weight, I could be the size of those peeps on The Biggest loser.
Losing a hundred lbs.of weight looks like quite a feat. The cast of
that show shack up and train constantly for a month or something. My goal is to start exercising
before New Year and make a resolution to keep it up.
So i attended a Halloween party on Saturday night over at my
g-friends friends’ house. A last minute choice was a cowboy, not
brokeback, but more of an outlaw. This was inspired by a cowboy hat
i found at the dollar store. Although this could be the lamest choice for
a costume, it was put together in just under an hour. My girlfriend
dressed as a sultry vampire - very nice. I was amazed at the
skimpy costumes the woman wore. Halloween parties nowadays have
apparently become an outlet for girls to wear next to nothing.
This has given me incentive to hit as many parties as possible next
weekend. Next weekend i may try and pull together Captain
Morgan. Here's a list of my best costumes back in the day:
Captain Vermont:
All in green with a VT long sleeve shirt. A+ for originality.
Cave man: unfortunately i lost the wig and beard. Very easy and an
excuse to act savage.
devil: The year i painted my face and legs read with a red turtleneck, some
eyeliner for an eyebrows etc., looked awesome. Pretty easy and gives you
some creditability with grabbing girls butts. If they look upset,
you shrug your shoulders and say, we'll the devil made me do it.
American Indian: Pretty easy, and it's fun to speak like an American
Indian. "Red feather need bottle opener." This
costume gives one an excuse to drink way too much and trash on the white Man.
Costume ideas welcome for the coming weekend.
When i heard this story on 60 minutes a few months back, I made a stand to stop shopping at Wal-mart all together.

I'm shopping Target and the smaller stores, who's on board?!
So we are just about at the half way point in summer and i feel like there is plenty more on my list of to do's. What i can cross off are camping, travel to DE, MD, PA, trips to the beach, swimming on the Kangamagus, and successful landscaping on my yard. (today my neighbors retaining wall tumbled onto the trees/grass i planted) 4th of July on the river in Hartford CT...more.. August and September will hopefully include trips to VT, concerts, and more.
June and the 1st of July were perfect weather, mid 80's and sunny. This past week has been rain, lightening/thunder showers, which has actually given me some incentive to actually clean my house and do some dishes. My favorite time of year goes so quickly.
I miss my boat. I'm looking into a a retired guy's $2,200 fishing vessel that would take me well into September/October on the water. Now that my friends have boats, i have seen under 8 invites to fishing trips. iI must have taken them out 50-100 times back when navigated the smokercraft! I suppose marriage and children put a cap on these invites.
It certainly is an addiction, i believe it may take help from friends or family to stop if you're addicted.
