As I Sit...
I have a lot of time to think now that I ski 3-4 hours a day, sleep for about 8, eat for about 5, and work about 4. I guess that leaves me with about 3 solid hours a day of mind wanderings (I guess you can also count the the 4 hours at valet parking because everything becomes so habitual after awhile you almost forget you are driving a car...just kidding...but yeah kind of). As I sit on the couch this morning in my new Nike sweatpants, t-shirt, and Colorado trucker hat (I'm proud of where I'm from), I begin to realize a lot of things. For instance, Team HomeGrown (my nordic squad) is leaving to West Yellowstone for our first races of the year and we have a ton of stuff to get ready, so all of this get-ready-to-go stuff is one the top of my mind. There is really a ton of stuff we have to do from waxing/preping skis, getting training in, getting gear ready, and making sure the younger skiers are set to getting a ski rack for the car, bringing the right skis, and making sure Josh has enough funny movies downloaded on his computer that we wont have to worry about doing core that week. However, food preperation is what has been on my mind. I love to cook but I ended up writing some email to the team telling them that I would bring a lasagna for the first night. After writing and sending the email I realized I have never in my entire 22 (almost 23) years on this earth, have I ever made a lasagna, or at the least even looked at what goes in a lasagna (I could make a good guess though). After that then I have to decide whether I want a vegetable lasagna or a meat lasagna, or should I do both. What I know I am going to end up doing is using my go-tos, the bearers of all knowledge, the Iron Chefs of the Buffer Creek Apartments: Wrighty and Duncan. If I can't find them well I guess its Peanut Butter and Jelly for the first night. Go HomeGrown!!!I'll be throwing up a schedule for the season soon. My next post will be from West.Thanks for reading my mindless wanderings.
