White Christmas

We're up North for Christmas this year. This is the first white Christmas that The Wife and I have shared since we met in '99. I think it's probably the first Christmas that I've experienced that has had a reasonable amount of snow in the past 6 years or so.

We've been taking advantage of the snow as best we can, and yesterday decided to hit the slopes and try our hand at snowboarding. This is the third time that I'd been (but the first two don't really count for much) and the first time for The Wife. We only managed one run each, but it took an hour (two for some of us) so it was definitely worth the trip up.

In other news, I can't lift my arms, or legs, or upper body for that matter. Rolling works well.

Tiny little bloodsuckers

Last night we found an unexpected house guest in our bed. Looks like the bed bug problem that has been plaguing the area has finally hit our building.

However, I really don't think that it's just us. The specimen that we found was fully grown (which apparently takes quite a bit of time) and we haven't seen any symptoms of an infestation at all. Two people moved onto our floor in the last 45 days. I'm near certain that we just found a tourist from the colony down the hall.

When I spoke with my landlord (he swore a lot) he mentioned fumigation on Friday. Looks like we'll be starting off the Christmas season with a little bit of industrial poison.

Wii!

Last night I bought a wii.
The Wife was very happy.
