Home Again

I never mentioned it but there were no uploads over the weekend because I was not in the country. I went down with some people to Montana IN AMERICA, to ski for the weekend. Quite a memorable weekend. Here are the highlights/main events:

-Got a total of 4 Tim Horton's cups and won nothing out of the 8 roll-up rims (2 per cup for 50th anniversary)
-Saw two golden eagles within a kilometre (or a mile as we were IN AMERICA) of each other feasting on the carcasses of two deer
-I tried "Cheez-its." At first I was like "meh," then suddenly an entire box was gone. Not sure what happened
-Counted 11 sightings of the ten commandments (which some people decided to turn into a drinking game)
-Encountered -40C weather without windchill. Decided skiing that day was a poor life choice. Pipes burst in 5 places in our building. Water was pouring from the garage area. We had no water for a day. The condo was very smelly.
-I only used my face to stop twice...less than 3 minutes apart. Hilariously enough it's also the same run I slid 1/3 of the way down on my back last year. I fell back on my skis and couldn't stand up, so I was just sliding and giggling the whole way, bouncing over moguls. Too bad that one wasn't on camera...
-Canadian Stage Charades was invented as we arrived at a pub, commandeered the entire second floor which happened to have a stage (they opened it as our group was 14 people), and someone suggested we play stage charades. Random people came upstairs to watch including the bar tender from downstairs who randomly decided to don a temporary mustache tattoo. The server also ended up participating. We weren't sure if the staff was amused or terrified
-A drunk man investigating the noise upstairs invited us to feel his jacket. He insisted it was silk. It was actually corduroy.
-We broke something nearly every day. A glass bowl nearly met its untimely end on the last day
-"RELEASE THE FARTS" is screamed and suddenly Mike and Ikes are launched from a bowl across the room (I'm not even sure of the context on this one...I walked in at the last second)
-The farts were released
-Apparently ice sculptures were constructed on the balcony after I went to sleep
-AMAZING POWDER AAAAAAA
-Holy crap you Americans have a lot of flavours of pop. Our group's main purchase in the U S of A may or may not have included Cherry and Vanilla coke. Because we don't get that here. Not cheap at least.
-Grapes were on sale, so I bought a bag of them for the weekend. I then forgot about them until we left and I remembered that fruits and vegetables at the boarder are not so great to have. So I ate an entire bag of grapes in an hour so they wouldn't be wasted. Never again. My colon is still refusing to forgive me.
