Wait, not exactly what I meant either (source)

So yeah, we had planned to go skiing today. There are some really nice resorts nestled in the Alps that are only a short hour away. But the snow came back for yet another visit last night, and doesn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. So not only is it crapping snow, hard, but the forecast for up on the mountain says that it might get down to -17° Celsius this afternoon, which is about 1° Fahrenheit. Yeah, I don't think so. 

Back in Texas, we used to make the 10 hour drive to New Mexico for skiing trips during winter and spring break. NM isn't known for great snow, but us Texans didn't know better and could care less. We were happy to hit the slopes... often in T-shirts during the slushy month of March. So I am not sure I am built for skiing in this cold of weather. And judging the way the hubs got up, looked outside and promptly jumped back in bed, I'd says he wasn't built for it either. 

Ok, we never wore this little of clothing. Otherwise we would be freezing balls out there! Haha get it?! I'm hilarious AND mature. (source)

I do feel guilty we haven't gone yet, but then again its not like he has a ton of totally free days during the hockey year. I was surprised to learn that the slopes are open until April 25th, which I find ridiculously late. So maybe we will have a chance to go again. 

I'm only going if I can wear this and yell the lyrics of "God Bless America" the whole way down (source)

I think this winter relapse is partly our fault. Last weekend, when the weather couldn't have been nicer, we planned a BBQ for this Sunday over at a friend's place. On the drive over to his house yesterday, it started snowing. I blame it on us trying to actually organize something fun in the season.

Since we are being babies about the weather, I am trying to convince the hubs to go to a Therme Bad, or indoor heated pool and sauna land, this afternoon. I am up for a little more embarrassment today! Oh, and being totally weirded out by naked strangers and their bare lady and man parts.

Have a great Monday, and *stay warm out there!

*doesn't apply to all you Texans who have bragged about the 'beautiful weather' you've been having. In your case, stay cold...hearted. :)
