lunar eclipses, skiing and life...

When we were walking to change our laundry out we saw the lunar eclipse on Wednesday night.  It was pretty cool to see and we are glad we caught it, since it was the last one until 2010.  I am glad we walked out the door when we did...I had read about it during work and was planning to check it out, but as soon as I got home it slipped my mind.


This past weekend, some friends of ours from Boulder came to visit.  While Mat was at work, we went cross-country skiing out along Slate Creek. It was wonderful. I put up a couple of pictures on flickr. Somehow, I no longer have the flickr picture roll in here to be able to pull up and put pictures in my blog. :(


On Thursday night, I hopped on the bus for my ride home after work and got about halfway home when I realized that I left my house keys in the drawer at work. This made me very anxious as Mat does not get home until about 12 midnight on his telemetry days and it was only 6:30 p.m. Luckily, the resort that we live at has an emergency phone and the man at the other end didn't mind that I only wanted a door unlocked. I was afraid I was going to be sitting out on our front porch all evening looking at Maddy through the window!


Friday, I went snowboarding up at CBMR and it was a beautiful day to go riding. Not too cold or windy. Yeah! Then I bent the wheel on the car going to Madera's interview at the Oh Be Dogful Ranch (pet boarding). So we weren't able to check the place out and see if Maddy is a social dog.


Tomorrow I get to spend the morning tracking down a wheel to replace the one I destroyed. Then on Tuesday, Mat will probably take Maddy up to her interview. Hopefully, she'll pass it, since we are planning on keeping her there during our trip to Utah. The place sounds like doggie heaven. They say that she can go in or out as she pleases and play with other dogs all day long and then at night she gets her own room! Luxury...she's probably not going to want to come home when we get back!


We are hoping to head to Utah on Wednesday if all goes well with my quest for a new wheel for the car!
