POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A few months ago, I took myself, my love of musicals, and my husband to a showing of "& Juliet" for our annual date night. We accidentally ended up surrounded by other people's kids. Oops.

Posted the story on my blog! Regardless of the hiccup, the show was outstanding and maybe even better than this delicious slice of New York's finest. Maybe.

Birthdays are the best holidays. Milestone birthdays even more so. Since the second anniversary of turning the big 4-0 is fast approaching, now seems an appropriate time to share my 4 for 40 birthday celebration plan, and why I recommend it for your next big milestone. Photo by @tlsippel.

Some days are magic, and this morning's urban hike thru Llandover Woods was one for the books.

Where should we explore next?!?

Not so sure about the #AppleCup in September, but times have changed, as I found out a few weeks ago when @eabliss took me to my first Husky game since they remodeled the stadium (yes, really!). I thought about bringing my Emotional Support Clarinet with me, but ultimately decided against it. Had a great time despite the 8:10pm kickoff (WHY?!?), and hope to make it back to another game sooner than ten years from now.

Scroll to the end for a little #throwback photo of baby Kristina wearing a Clarinet staple: the Saran Wrap shirt, our go to for Friday night rallies. #godawgs #bandnerdforlife

I wasn't going to ski today.

I had a huge list of life To Do's hanging over my head, and with childcare lined up for the first time in weeks, I felt like I needed to take advantage of the "break" to get work and life admin done (that's right, my work hiatus is nearly over - I'll share more in the New Year!).

So when my ski wife texted to ask if I wanted to ski Alpental today, I told her I'd have to think about it.

Yeah, yeah, I know you don't believe me, *the girl who once skied 107 months in a row... in a tutu." But with two littles at home and the expense of lift tickets more than doubling in five years (not to mention parking costs), I have more or less given up on skiing. The last time I was on skis was when @tlsippel and I did Baker Off The Couch in July.

Then I thought about it and realized I'd be a MORON to skip a ski day in favor of a To Do list. I can count on one hand the number of times I skied this year.

So I said yes. I'm so glad I did.

Expectations were low, but Alpental put up a fight, giving us lots of snow (#freerefills), intermittent light (#pingpongball), and then, as if from the universe itself, we got #firsttracks when patrollers dropped the rope at International right as we got off the lift. Did you read that? FIRST TRACKS (okay, you busted me, we were skiers #4 and #5 down behind a party of three, but I'm counting it).

Never before in my life have I skied top to bottom at Alpy with fresh pow (nearly) the whole way.

And, since I'm showing off, I also got the Wordle in two today.

So I guess the moral of this story is, #SayYes! Maybe I should also consider a lotto ticket...
