I am so bored right now. As much as I love looking up skiing stuff, I'm dying by not buying anything. I think I need to learn a little bit more about this sport if I'm to survive.

This I know: I need ski boots. They are expensive. I need ski bindings. They are expensive. I need a season pass. It is expensive.

I know what boots I want which are way too expensive. So I know what boots I'm most likely going to get. I have an idea about the bindings, but need a little input. Inspiration just kind of struck me for a moment. I'll have to talk to Jammin, but one of his friends (from whom I bought my first pair of skis is selling his new skis with way cool bindings. I don't need the skis (mine rock so much more) but the bindings...

Enough thinking. Thinking makes me use too many ellipse.

I thought the business trip was going to be hellish, but it wasn't. Surprise! It was actually kind of neat. Mostly I was dreading the other company screwing something up, but they didn't. It was a really nice place and they bent over backwards to accommodate us. I even received a Columbia jacket as a gift! Of course I made full use of my "customer card" to take everything that looked good from the vending machines. As I type, I'm snacking on some sour starbursts that traveled home with me. Tasty little buggers.

We were supposed to stay the night, but thoughts over overtime dollar signs flashed in our heads so we came home at 11:00 at night. Waking up this morning sucked, but money money! I would have been ok staying too. They were going to put us up in company owned apartment. Fireplaces and whirlpool tubs... I almost can't wait until next time. (I can totally wait.)

One of my bosses friends lives in that area, so when we had a free moment, we drove over there. She was such a lively and friendly person, it was awesome. She hugged me hello, offered me a root beer (frozen!), forced me to take a cookie (literally took my hand and put a cookie in it) and hugged me good bye. It was a good time with good conversation.

I missed the last softball game of the season. That sucked. They lost by a lot, but really only a little. We've played this team twice already and they pull the same shit every time. It was the 5 inning and the score was us 10; them 11. They stopped swinging and walked in 9 more runs. So freaking lame. Next year, we'll have two pitchers so I'm hoping we can put a stop to that lame-o kind of winning.
