Here are our first three days at Sugarloaf in pictures!
To kill time before our condo was ready, we stopped for lunch at the Orange Cat Cafe. Their sandwiches were fantastic!
Here’s the condo we have for the week!
And some pics from the mountain!
We’re said to be getting 4-8” of snow overnight tonight, which means tomorrow should be a really awesome day on the slopes. I’m planning to get up a bit earlier so we don’t miss out of any of it!
I’ve been feeling a little off over the past month or so, which I think has somewhat been evident here on the blog. I am trying to sort things out, but in the meantime decided to focus on a couple things (or several) that would help perk me up. One thing? Retail therapy! In the form of shoes. Tall shoes. I’m talking 5-5.5” heels tall.
Lucky Brand
Steve Madden
I’m a sucker for a good deal on cute shoes, and scored these two babies off Hautelook a little over a week ago. The Luckys come in at 5” and the Maddens are 5.5”, which if you’ve kept track would bring me to a towering 6’2.5”. Word. Generally, the bf thinks when I wear tall shoes and my height is above his, it looks stupid, but what do guys know? 
Plus, I refuse to let only the average and short height girls enjoy cute shoes.
Moving along. If you saw my Twitter or Facebook statuses in the last 24 hours, you’ll know what these next shoes are for.
Soccer! Or football, as everyone else in the world calls it. I had been debating for ages on dusting off my old cleats and signing up for a league. I bit the bullet yesterday and registered for a spring co-ed 8v8 league that starts at the end of March. I’m pretty stoked to get back into playing (I played in high school, and a little in college) and it will give me a nice spring sport to focus on (other than running). I still have to find my shin guards, but I have a feeling I know what box they are buried in. I’m also happy the league starts a bit more than two months from now so I have time to get a little more conditioned to play. It has been AGES. I can’t wait to have soccer legs again. And a sock tan. WOO. 
While searching for my soccer shoes, I found this hat that made me grin ear to ear.
It’s a beanie. A domo-kun beanie, to be exact. IT’s the best hat ever, if you ask me. If you are not a nerd and aren’t into anime and/or Japanese cartoon characters, you likely have no idea what this little guy is (you can google it). I am all those things, and this hat was the prize when an ex I dated in college went to an anime con and brought this home for me (I asked for a plushy, but they were sold out). I may have to bring the hat to Maine, just for fun. Speaking of Maine…
Yes, I ordered myself another pair of Roxy goggles. I wanted darker lenses, and the pair I have they don’t sell lenses for anywhere (I looked). Plus, these were just so pretty I couldn’t say no! Should anyone need to borrow a pair, I now have an extra to lend. I should probably start making a list of things to remember to pack this weekend considering how forgetful I’ve been this week.
And, now that I have mentioned the weekend, there is an event I am heading to this Saturday! City Sports in Ardmore is having a grand re-opening of their store in Suburban Square. The event is from 10am-1pm with a 5K Fun Run as well (I believe registration begins at 10:30am?). There will be over $1000 in merch giveaways, a DJ, and the first 100 people get a goodie bag and a chance to win a $250 shopping spree (I got this info all from the email they sent me). I may not make the first 100 list, but I am definitely looking forward to checking out the new store (and maybe getting more soccer gear?). If anyone in the area is interested in coming out, let me know and we can meet up! 
And it’s only Tuesday! In typical KJ fashion, I’ve started this week on the wrong foot. Yesterday I happily stopped at Wawa for $1 coffee (ANY size!!) and a turkey sausage/egg white bagel sandwich of glory (plus a hash brown) and figured I was golden. I was going to be 15 min early! Go me! Then I got off my exit and realized my work laptop was still sitting on my kitchen table. Whoops! I ended up getting here 15 min after I normally do once I retrieved my laptop. The rest of the day went along with no further events. Thankfully.
I made it to the gym after work and did a nice, sweaty 30 on the elliptical. I know I said I was going to restart the Livefit thingy, but decided to hold off and just do cardio for a bit. Reason? I’m snowboarding for 5-6 days straight next week. Any fatigue to my muscles now would make for an annoying time up north, and I could use some endurance building before the big trip. :)
I had subsequently forgotten for the second time yesterday we have a cookie social today at work (not my choice of wording). I wanted to make something elaborate, but at 8:30pm at night I had all the ingredients needed for the peanut butter cookies I made a while ago. Easy and simple. I used all of the remaining White Chocolate Wonderful PB and put white chocolate chips in the cookies. They came out really well!
I was excited to have the coworkers try them today. I made it all the way into work, sat down and started chatting with a coworker, then realized the tin of cookies is still sitting in the kitchen. UGH! I only live about 10 min or so away from work, so I can easily hop home to get them at lunch and be back well before 2pm, but this seriously needs to STOP! I can only imagine how the rest of the week is going to go. Meh!
Do you ever have one of those weeks?
