News Alert: A new photo gallery page is now available for your enjoyment! This page features updated pictures of The Rock from this past summer (Summer 2002). The format of this page is a little different from the others. There are three index pages that have thumbnails of all the pictures. If you click on any of these, the page will take you to a larger version of that picture. From here you can continue the slideshow of large images. It’s really not hard to figure out, just thought I’d give you a heads up!

Spring Break is coming up! YAHOOIE!! I can’t wait to go home and see Mom, Dad, Seth and Ben. Then, from Saturday until Thursday, Uncle Gerry and Aunt Brenda are taking me on a tour of the Napa Valley! We’re going to be hitting up some wineries (I know we’re going to Schramsberg, not sure about the others yet…), visiting a restaurant or two, checking out the Greystone Campus of the Culinary Institute of America, and doing lots more fun things I’m sure!! I can’t wait! PLUS, as if that wasn’t enough, it’s going to NOT BE SNOWING there! Can you imagine?!?! Stay tuned for complete Spring Break coverage upon my return!

Caitlin and I made some hot shirts for our evening out on the town on Saturday night. I forgot to take pictures of these most recent endeavors in fashion, but here are pictures from the last time Carrie, Laura and I made Revamped Shirts, as well as instructions on how to make them.

UPDATE on the Cutest Pet Ever Contest!! Awards will be announced by midnight tonight!! If you entered a pet, be sure to send me your mailing address if I don’t have it already!

Wheeeeeeeeee!

Dawn, Caitlin, Luis, and I went skiing tonight at Greek Peak Ski Resort in Cortland, NY. It was SO MUCH FUN. I had forgotten how peaceful it is when you’re at the top of a mountain, flying on the lift or speeding down the isolated alpine trail. God, it’s great isn’t it? I bet I could do that every night and not get bored. It was surprising that none of us got seriously injured–we were definitely expecting that someone would end up at the hospital since Dawn and I haven’t skiied in about four years and Luis (who is from the Dominican Republic) has never been! Dawn took a couple of good tumbles (per run) ;-), Caitlin fell once. She claims it was Luis’ fault–she turned around to watch him fall–and tripped over her own skiis. And I fell once when we were standing still at the bottom of the hill talking (so talented). The ski lodge was in pretty rough shape–the kitchen was disgusting–but they did have a live fire in the lounging area, which was a major perk! Aren’t fireplaces great? The smell of wood burning is so comforting I feel.
