Incriminating Evidence of my Filth...

This past weekend in Vermont our hosts Brian & Katie took many fun pictures of us cooking, playing, skiing, and being silly... then they posted them on the web, then I looked at them and was horrified. I didn't shower most of the weekend (not unusual for me), nor did I take the time to apply make-up or comb my hair - but I looked especially tore-up even under these conditions. Why, would you ask, did you look like a street urchin the weekend long amongst new friends and strangers? Well,... I have no excuse expect the pure exhaustion of my weekday job. By the time weekend comes I'm a bit - how-do-you-say - trashed. Here's the evidence:


Maybe the worst picture ever taken of me ever. I'm deliciously-ugly while preparing Tortilla Espanola for our Tapas extravaganza. (Brian also pictured - he doesn't look nearly as worn out as me and had been skiing all day while I was lounging...hmm...)


Even after a good meal and 3 cups of Sangria I still look like hell.


I decided to shower only minutes before we took this group picture - I'm looking a little better, but B still seems to be disgusted by me. (btw work-friend-Katie is on Brian's shoulders in pink)

showering plus less stressful job equals prettier erin.

haggardly yours,

Oh NO! Oke-MO!



Sad day in Boston as the entire North East goes into an unexpected bout of seasonal depression after yesterday's loss. I am not so excited to see what types of symptoms my clients bring to the table (I'm sure all new diagnosis will be S.A.D. this week). Football, or any pro sport for that matter, hasn't mattered to much to me since the early 90's and Joe Montana's Niners. So, let's remember sweeter days....



Sigh.

In other news... B and I went to the mountains of Vermont this weekend with some new friends. It was wonderful. He skied and I painted my nails while watching Goldie Hawn's Housesitter. The condo we stayed in was what they call 'ski in ski out' - - basically it was right off one of the runs and whenever the skiers were tired or hungry they would just hop in for some light snacking or warmth. It wasn't Tahoe, but Okemo wasn't half bad. The best part was reliving some of my earliest ski memories vicariously through the little SKIwee's (as they are called).



So cute with their little helmets.

May the Pats' season rest in peace,
