I left home 10 months ago today.
10 months later I'm about to have a very very white Christmas in the Swiss Alps.
Today I made a snowman for the first time.
Correction: I helped with 3 snowmen, 1 cat and 1 dog.
There were several casualties including a couple of ears and a head and I've just remembered that we didn't put scarves or hats on our snow people. I hope they survive the elements.
I thought perhaps if I moved around enough over the holiday period (a few days with my Swiss fam, a few days with NickNatTayaAbbyGeorgia, and a few days with friends) then I could accidentally miss having to ski. It would be a pity and all but at least I would escape with my dignity this season.
It was a good plan.
Not good enough.
Until there is a major blizzard tomorrow, I will ski. I somehow agreed. What was I thinking? I can see my dignity flash before my eyes.
Two weeks today til we fly out of Zurich to Miami.
2 days til Christmas.
12 hours til I lose any remaining scraps of dignity. MLF3 did tell me she might "sometimes wait for me on the pistes."
Merry Christmas all. I leave you with a photo of my fellow slope buddies. This one was taken in our village.
Anyone know a blizzard dance?
Hahahaha! Have a womderful Christmas :) love pix
