Left Right, Right left

While I haven't worn them often, (they weren't very comfortable) I've had these socks for a couple of months and JUST noticed they are left/right designated.  Seriously?  They were a tad better today.....

The same thing happened with my headphones.  Because I have a wire chewing cat, I had to replace them, again.  The sound quality wasn't great and I wore them about a dozen times before I noticed they are left/right ear pieces!  They are still a bit tinny, but hey, they were only $6.99! 

Last week I wore my shirt inside out for about half the day.  Around 2 pm my daughter said,"hey Mom, your shirt is on wrong you know".  Mittens on the wrong hands?  that's me.  Snowshoes on the wrong feet, yup.  Knit hat inside out?  Done that.  I've put on my jacket inside out and have been frustrated by the lack of pockets and not being able to zip it up....Wrong eye glasses?  All the time.  Sometimes I look at myself and see Dennis the Menace, Pigpen and Ramona the Pest all rolled into one.  But that's okay.  They might be a great big mess but they always seem to be having fun!!  I'm gonna get out a Sharpie and mark my headphones.  Enjoy yourself out there today! And if you do something crooked or backwards let me know!  We can form a club...

Monday Things, Parting Shots...

My daughter and her boyfriend having a little snowbank fun

Old blower in my favorite shade of orangey red 

My husband, looking rather bug like

                                                                   It's spring, the ski and snowboard season has wound down and only two weekends of lift accessible riding remain at our local area.  I thought it was a good time to share a few parting shots and say so long to winter.....Good bye winter! See you next time around!

The neighborhood, mid=season

Monday Things

 First things first....the beer:  Kona Brewing Co. ,
Koko Brown, brewed with toasted coconut.  Like being at the beach, in Hawaii (I have a vivid imagination) except you drink it....

Mariner's home opener is tomorrow!  That's a shot from last year's opening night.  We have tickets to the Friday night game vs. Oakland....yay!!! In and Out burgers, peanuts and a $10 beer! Go M's!!

The gear bag needs cleaning out.....too much winter stuff.  Like me, it's grown a bit heavy over the cold months.

30 minutes into my run today, I realized it was sunny.  I said, IT WAS SUNNY.  That's right....and  my ghostly pale arms and legs were out there unprotected.  Time to drag out the sunscreen . Last year I got a great deal on some Sun Bum products and stocked up. Possibly, I just like that monkey face! 

Happy Monday!

Blue Skies, Ski Tips

Mountain life, in many ways, is like modern life anywhere.  Garbage trucks come too early and are too loud.  There are traffic jams  (ever leave a ski area at closing time?) work deadlines and kids to get through school.  There are endless lists of things to repaint, repair or replace.  There are all kinds of things that keep us from doing the fun stuff.  But every once in awhile it all comes together, the planets align and we are able to step out the door to a mountain paradise.  I think these ski tip and snowboard splitboard selfies sum it up quite well~
