Settle For Satin

Evening everyone. It was a slightly busy week, but starting tomorrow, it'll be a LOT busier. We'll get back to that. Monday was President's Day so Mia had the day off. It was also a day with plenty of fresh snow. The temps were actually pretty decent so with all that, Mia and I went snowboarding at Valley View. I was anxious to get my new board in the powder in hopes it'd be better than the other one I had that was too big and heavy. There were a lot of people out tubing and sledding off ramps. Mia did really well and rarely fell. I made one run down and couldn't for the life of me get my bindings to loosen. Ugh. Mia was getting irritated that I couldn't help her with her bindings she was getting stuck with so overall, the day wasn't super great, but we'll have a better time next time. It took me a few days to get to it, but I was able to figure out my bindings and adjust them to better fit my boots. They aren't perfect and probably meant for smaller boots, but I think it'll work. Hopefully we can get some more snowboarding sessions before Spring comes.

Mia and I didn't do too much on my day off except her usual $1.00 smoothie. Friday, kicked off Yearbook Season for Jill's studio so I joined her boss at St Mary's to photograph all the kids. I've got 5 other schools to do over the course of a few weeks. Saturday, Mia and I took her picture for her birthday invites and had them sent out (email-wise) Hopefully the kids will have an awesome time come March. She's been excitingly checking to see who's RSVP'd. She's got a birthday party a few weeks before hers that's a sleepover and she already has a sleeping bag out and ready for it. Oh Mia...

We watched the Penguins vs Flyers game while working on some of the Art Show stuff. Mia surprisingly watched the whole game and gave me updates as I was making delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. Rough ending with the Flyers beating the good guys in the Stadium Series match. Ugh.

Sunday, I watched the league cup final between Chelsea vs City. Last time they met, City destroyed us. Today, they played like champions. Chelsea refused to let them score and it went to PK's. Sadly, a couple misses from us and some unfortunate mistakes from keeper Kept, lead to City getting the hardware. Rough ending for the Blues as now they just have the Europa title to play for. This also could be the manager's last week with them. Who knows. It was nice to see the Blues playing like they cared.

Tomorrow, I'll be in Waukesha and Tuesday in Watertown photographing for the year books. We've got a PFC meeting Tuesday after Mia's dance class. So much to do, so little time. Will we get snow this week? Who knows. That's all for now, thanks for reading!
