Happy New Year All!


Well, I made it back. We had a good trip. I do love that area, so beautiful. The family only managed a couple days of skiing as there really wasn't much snow and they kept hitting rocks, when there's usually about a meter. We did get to see a mini-biathalon in downtown Garmisch, where they shipped in snow, and watch Olympic champion Michael Greis and silver medallist Martine Glagow (from the local club) race and shoot in a relay. They won, but it was close until the last leg where their closest rivals missed 4 of 5 shots. Lots of fun to watch and some nice eye candy in seeing Greis in his tight suit (Martine was very nice too!)

Sunday we watched the ski jumping qualification round. Again lots of fun watching the top jumpers in the world compete, including my favourites Adam Malwycz and Thomas Morgenstern who qualified 5 and 3 repectively. We made a good call to go to the qualifications rather than the final competition the next day as the weather turned, and it was rainy and windy. We watched on Eurosport and it looked very miserable, so much that they cancelled it after the first round.

New Year was seen it at the AFRC (Armed Forces Recreation Center) Edelweiss Resort. We attended the party there, listened to the band playing -- Ingram Hill...middle of the road rock, but good for free. Then, of course were the fireworks. Garmisch-Partenkirchen sits in a valley and the Edelwiess at one of the higher spots so we got to see fireworks from all over the city, and ones up on the moutains. It was an amazing sight...although our display was probably the best. :D



So I'm back now and will slowly be catching up on everything (RP and otherwise). If there's anything that needs my attention or something let me know. I've checked my flists, but I could've missed something. I didn't get much chance for writing, but I made quite a few notes of a plotting variety, so some of you can expect emails from me at some point. :D

Gotta run some errands and do laundry for now, but will be back on later.

*hugs to everyone*

Hey, welcome back! *waves* Hopefully will have my rep up for Hsu in the next day or so. I've been ruminating on it over the holiday, lol.

Sounds like you had a good vacation. Happy New Year! :)

Welcome home, hon! *hugs* Glad to see you're home all safe, sound and intact!

'Mom's' been doing some hunting, isn't real happy with the events so far, and I'm not sure how she's going to be when things don't get a whole heap better. *g* Doncha just lurve having a determined, but pissed off muse stalking around? *shudders* And the thought of it being for a long time? Damn! Need to get some idea of timeframe for the things that are on the books as such. *g* Even if for my own sanity!

*hugs* Thanks!

Yeah, I noticed her post. Poor Cass...although Hsu just muttered that she'd better not get in the crossfire. *sigh* And yup, having pissed off pups are such fun. Will send you an email soon and we can chat about timeframes and such. Now got to head out for a hair appointment and then work, so maybe tomorrow.

She won't.. or at least not intentionally. Though an idea just crossed my mind!

*evil grin and hides idea from pup who doesn't take too well to mun plotting for her to take a bullet!*

Right... uh... where was I? Oh! Yeah, have fun at the hairdresser and work! *hugs*

*hushes Eve and tells her it won't be long now*
