(nearly) Midnight musings.

I feel like writing. I am lying in my bed, unable to fall asleep because I think I'm getting an ear infection and while I'm waiting for the advil to kick in, I think I will write. Lucky you, dear readers! A blog post filled with delightful stream-of-consciousness like thoughts...

We got snow today. Lots of snow! I'm not complaining; I love, love, LOVE the snow. Makes me immensely happy. There's just something about waking up to a snowy morning that instantly fills me with glee. Maybe it's that waking up to snow falling outside my window takes me right back to those days (however few they may have been) when I would wake up and race to the tv praying that school would be cancelled, and that over-joyous feeling when it actually was cancelled. Snow days. Those were the best days ever. Period. And it was even more exciting when those snow days occurred on days that weren't deathly cold so that you could actually go out and enjoy the snow (as in not days when school was cancelled for freezing weather. Those days- not so fun. Can't do much when it's WELL below freezing.). It was on those rare and wonderful days that we would pack up our sleds and tubes and head down to Hill 17, also known as the greatest sledding hill ever. Seriously, if you haven't been, go. Now. It's open; today's snow fall made sure of that. But if you're reading this at 11:06 pm (current time in Door County, WI) don't go...wait it out till tomorrow. Much safer that way. But seriously. It's the best sledding hill ever.

Today I did not go sledding at Hill 17. Even though we got plenty of snow. I don't think it would be quite as exciting by myself. And seeing as how most people have gone back to school already...I might be out of luck this break. I did, however, go down the tubing run at camp a few times. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta make sure the hill is in top shape for the up-coming guest groups. It's a sacrifice I occasionally have to make. And hopefully it will be a little bit more packed down the next time I go. Wasn't too fast today. Don't worry. I'll keep working on it. ;) And let's see, I did a little bit more work on the video stuff over at camp. Stay tuned: there should be some new promo stuff coming at ya soon! Reworking some videos from this summer, making some new ones, figuring out ways to not break copyright laws, the usual. I am not overly well-versed in the ways of technology, but I'm learning as I go! It's kind of sink or swim. And I've always preferred swimming to drowning. Just saying...

And with that, I think I shall bid thee adieu. I think the advil has kicked in enough to let me fall asleep. I hope. Buenos noches, mundo. Hasta luego.

  1. Last night I was playing in the snow with bailey and I realized, running through untouched snow and messing it all up is STILL one of the best things ever!!
