SKIING ORANGES

I woke up with this thought in mind "Oh, I haven't worked out this weekend. Well it's not going to rain for a couple hours, might as well ski." That was mistake number one. Mistake number two was waiting a couple hours until going out. Mistake number three was getting out of bed this morning. Anyways...

I went out skiing at around two, I had an outfit on that'd keep me cool and was jamming out to some Jacob Fannin. Everything was going good. Then the skies opened up. At first it was just a sprinkle, and being me I was just like "Whatever, it'll stop soon". It didn't stop, instead it got worse. I was soaked, but by the time I figured it out I was already closer to Coleraine than I was to Rapids and figured I'd wait it out at Jake's house.  As soon as I hit Coleraine it stopped raining.

I was at Jake's for a few minutes then headed for home, so I can say bye to April before she leaves, Guess what frickin happens. My pole gets caught in a crack. I didn't realize this and brought my arm forwards to pole again.Combine the fact that I was going forwards when I pulled my arm forwards with the fact that I was moving quickly and maybe you can deduce what happened. If not I'll tell you. It broke.

My pole now has cracks going up it, my shoulder, elbow, and wrist were yanked back and now hurt. The "best" part (hint, that was sarcasm) was that I had to ski another 8 miles with one pole to get home. 8 miles on the Mesabi Trail suck. That thing goes up and down. To make it better was the fact that I had to ski with my left arm. With my left wrist. The wrist that had tendinitis all winter  Add that wrist to my list of injuries for the day. Hopefully we have enough ice packs!

Side note: We (Bay, Max and I) found out I can juggle! I tried to recreate this a few minutes ago. I would like to post a public apology to those oranges I maimed. At least I ended their misery and ate them. :)

Thanks for reading whatever this is!! :D

I GOT A JOB

So in my last post I talked about how I was thinking about doing a home baking thing. I went to the Armory to give Sergeant Nelson a cupcake. Side note: A couple weeks ago I had made cupcakes and brought some over for the guys but he hadn't been there that day and therefor didn't get any, which is why I brought one today since I had baked this weekend. Side-side note: They were maple pancake cupcakes with maple butter cream frosting. All homemade. He was in a meeting so I was waiting in the, I don't know, building entrance area(?) I met this woman who was waiting for a her meeting. Side note: Turns out that due to weather her meeting had been canceled and she just hadn't been told. We started talking and she told me that she was here to talk about a party for the US that she was planning for Sunday the weekend before the fourth. So we got to talking about and she was telling me about what food she was thinking of and, I kid you not, a lig...

Random bits and pieces of stuff

WARNING: There are a lot of pictures While biking with Nick we stopped at the Continental divide, and as we stood there trying to figure out how to tell the other that we should turn back this bike adventure hurts, we heard some snowmobilers. The sound alone was enough for Nick to launch into a rant about snowmobilers, who he, I now know, hates. Well they came up behind us and crossed the road a few feet away from where we were. For some reason there was a large group of them too, I mean since when do they don things in groups? Anyways, as soon as Nick says "They're a bunch of d**ches!" the biggest one goes by. He stops, shuts off the snowmobile and starts walking towards us. We freaked out! I was thinking "Holy fudge knuckles! He heard him!!!", just as Nick says,"Let's go South!" We headed South. Fast. The reason we went South was because it's take us away from the snowmobiler, and farther away from town. That's the reason we kept going,...

I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND

This is a long one. I need input. Also writing this on metaphorical paper might help me think things through. So once again, there's a boy. Which makes it sound like there have been a lot of boys but there really hasn't been....anyways... There's this boy. He's like perfect. He runs, he skis, he enjoys long hikes through the mountains, he somewhat bikes, astrophysics is a hobby of his, he enjoys laying out and looking at the stars, etc. etc. He's like the male version of me, but taller, and stronger, and not awkward, and attractive. I mean seriously he even watched the Steven Hawkins videos on Netflix, which I also watched and led to an interesting conversation. But I'm getting ahead of myself... Let's start from the beginning. So the first time I met him was at a cross country meet (the Little Falls meet, it was his first).Autumn, Sara and I were trying to do homework a little ways away from the rest of the team (and everyone else), but Will and Hans ke...
