Wedding party gifts that don't suck from offbeat bride

reception?
outdoor game? sled?
poker table?

anniversary dance - everyone goes out and dj starts to have people leave by how long they have been together - last couple dancing/has been together longest gets something maybe? usually a special little bouquet.

one wedding did this fun dance where they gave away this big centerpiece by having everyone pass a napkin around each table and then whoever it stopped on went out and did musical chairs.

Tony booked our room for our pre Christmas Getaway. We are in Silver Mill, 8170 from December 20-24th!!! We bought the Buddy Pass or whatever they call it this year. $409 for Abasin, stoner and breck.

It's already the snowy season in Wyoming. Seriously. The snow started when we were coming back from Glacier Nat'l Park. We were headed to livingston, Mt to see Dallas and Lili. I thought it would be a fleeting thing, the snow. But NOOOOOO We go out to eat at the Rib and Chop house in Livingston, go back to the Rodeway Motel and snooze. As we woke, we did not expect the foot plus of snow covering all the vehicles in the lot. crap. That made for a fun ride back. a 5 hour trip, unwillingly extended. But we're back, and the snow is here in Gillette as well. damn

Boarding in serious gnar.

The snowshoe gave us the same room as last year. eerily, the bed remains uncomfortable. Yet, it's comforting that they keep the bed spread- even with the crack pipe burn from some previous occupant. The rooms are affordable- if not downright

cheap. I'm not complaining. I had a bed to sleep in while it dumped pow all night long! Copper was great. That Resolution Bowl off the Superbee is phenom. I wish it had less moguls- but I'll say I'd never have asked to be somewhere else today. The tree runs are wide open and at one point i was up to my waist. Fuck yes. The Burton ALpha cuts through like butter. Check me out.... my nose in that pic is only clear cuz i had just got done going face first down a triple D- all the while choking on the fat pow. seriously it went in ly lungs and that feels FUNKY!!

COPPER:
Mission: Find a place to stay while we board on monday and tuesday of next week. I'd like to find a hotel or cheap place AT Copper mountain. hmmmm
Village Square Hotel Room $148

I think Shoeshoe is the winner.

I emailed Burton about the peice coming off my new board. Fingers crossed and all hopes on some redemption in the form of schwag to keep me happy. The bindings I got for that board are total bling a ling.

what you can't see is the bling on the back and the sides. it's very gawdy, very tacky. (envision that last line read in deep throaty Jersey- ya know- extra syllable the shit out of it)

So I'm officially full swing back into the same patterns as my youth. I see the sheets from my college bed and i get dizzy from the leopard overload.. but obviously there is something that keeps pulling me back. into the tackiness of it all. I love to be that girl. oh yea. you know it and so do I.

I had a great weekend in Colorado. I went to see my friend H in Denver and hung out, went to dinner at this fanfuckingtastic place in Cherry Creek. Soleil Mediterranean Grille and Bar. We had the Roasted Garlic, Spanokopita, tortilla espanola and the pasta of the day that consisted of penne, wild mushrooms, basil, and a truffle oil- i believe there has to be an ingredient closely related to sex in there.. cuz I thought my eyes were goin gto roll back in my head and never set straight. I give it all fastasmico reviews.. not too pricey. we each threw down 20-25 bucks.
