I know--I am weird
after all I am the one that pushed for us to come back to CO. But see while I love LOOKING at the mountains I do not like being IN them. Well, this weekend we are going skiing. I want Cole to learn since this is where we hope to stay but I am literally TERRIFIED to drive to ya know where it is high up to actually ski. I haven't skied in over 15 years and then it was only cause I was trying to do something Geo liked to do. I was decent at it but never really liked it. I am more of a FL let's water ski girl than lets go up in the mountains--freeze our tushes off--expect those orange things to stop us from going down the side of the mountain?!?! kind of girl. ImageImageImage

WISH me luck!! At least I should get some scrappy pics out of it, right????

Re: I know--I am weird
I'm not a skier! But the mountains are beautiful!!  I was terrified, riding in our van going up Mt Evans! YIKES!!! That was a LONG drop if ya didn't stay on the road! And it wasn't worth it, it was so foggy at the top we couldn't see a thing! We picked the wrong day to go up! I almost cried! No good photos except we did stop to see some goats in the fog! Image  
Have fun skiing!!!! Repeat..."I think I can! I think I can!"

Ah, the things we do for love.  Image  You'll be fine!  Have fun!
OCD is not an adjective.  It is not a personality quirk. It is not synonymous with being organized.  It is a complex and debilitating mental health illness that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and is defined by the presence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions. 💙 I am an OCD warrior and I fight for my son. 💙

Good luck! And, lol, I don't think you're too weird!

I'm always wanting to go on road trips, then DH reminds me that it's me who hates riding very long--he's right, lol.

Re: I know--I am weird
I am glad I am not alone in this. Really most people here are like pffftt whatever the roads are fine. Who cares if they don't have guard rails?!?! I am like WHAT?!?!?

I finally got the native CO peeps to understand by saying if we were on a boat FAR off the coast it would not bother me...that is what I grew up with. They were all like WHAT?!?!? Made me feel better. ImageImageImage

Re: I know--I am weird
I am scared to death of skiing, but the roads don't bother me at all. I worked at a ski resort here in Oregon for 4 years so my kids could learn to snowboard and do it free. I tried to learn to ski, but it was terrifying for me! Can't wait to see your pics!

I miss skiing.  I was going to Breckenridge near Easter for several years before I got married 14 years ago.  Now, I am afraid I am out of shape.

Have fun!

Re: I know--I am weird
and we are off. Staying tonight closer to the ski area as Cole has to be there at 8:45 for ski school. How bad is it that I was hoping my husband would say "why don't I take him and you stay home?"....stupid family time. ImageImage

I am with you... No desire to ride up a mountain to be brought down on skis... no way.  

Enjoy your family time and video game :)
