Today was a relaxing Saturday. I was able to finish the new John Grisham book, “Playing for Pizza.” It’s a sweetly sentimental story about a so-so football player, struggling to find personal joy and fulfilment in life. He travels to Italy to find success. The story centers around his journey and travelling, Italy and food.

Then, while my hubby outfitted my new skis (a Christmas present from my generous brother), I went to Otion to help with the last of the inventory. Erik, Sarah and I had a jolly time counting droppers, bottles and stray candle colorants.

Finally, we ended the day in a bowling alley. Here’s Erik (generous brother and Otion store manager), getting ready to bowl with his brand new bowling ball (our Christmas gift to him). He chose a scented 14-pound ball (yes, it’s really scented – it smells like Lime) called “Tropical Storm.” He totally smoked the entire group, at one point getting 3 strikes in a row.

We’re getting up early tomorrow to go skiing at Mt. Baker with Erik, his fiance Cheriss, and my brother-in-law, Weston. It should be exhausting but hopefully in a challenging way, as opposed to a broken-bones-kind-of-way. It’s my first time skiing in two years and I have new skis, bindings and poles to get used to. Wish me luck!

While lusting over new kitchen designs tonight, I came across some free label templates from Kitchen and Bath Ideas magazine. The label templates seem particularly cute for one-off toiletry products that just require a quick and easy handwritten label. Click here to go see them.

We’re ending our day by folding laundry and laying out our ski equipment for tomorrow. All in all, it’s been a delightfully rewarding day.

  2. We survived! And, best of all, we had fun – lots of laughing and shouting and general merriment. =)

  3. Hope it is a safe and fun day. I haven’t been skiing in years, but used to enjoy it when I lived in California.
