So it's all set now, we've got our Super Bowl 50 teams! Carolina will face my boy Peyton and the Denver Broncos in San Fran in just two short weeks. I'm not going to say I'm torn on who to root for, because my loyalty will always lie with Peyton -- and Malik Jackson and Britton Colquitt, who are all Vols who all play on the Denver Broncos. I will say though that I am a big Cam fan, and if he wins then I'll be ok with that too.
I'm actually tickled to death that Denver won, because CB and I are headed with a group of friends to Denver on Thursday to go skiing. I cannot wait to feel the Super Bowl fever in Denver, it will be a vibe I've never had the privilege of experiencing first hand.
Now skiing on the other hand, woof.
CB, bless his heart, is so excited. He literally set a reminder alarm yesterday to check the mountain's web cam to see what kind of line there was for the lift. Me though? Well, I'm having a hard time getting on his level of giddy. I've never been skiing before, but I have been snowboarding one time -- if you would call what I was doing "snowboarding" -- and I was nothing short of convinced that I was going to plummet to my death via the Bunny Trail. The newspaper headlines would read, "First Woman to Ever Plummet to Death on Bunny Trail" and everyone would giggle.
In general, I consider myself athletic. I pick up most sports pretty easily. Those sports that I cannot easily pick up, frustrate me to no end and I avoid them like the plague... like soccer and/or anything that involves your feet as your primary weapon. Seeing as skiing is not played with the hands, I'm very pessimistic about the whole thing. Plus, this weekend I tried on
the snow bib that I bought and I looked like Willy's palest oompa loompa.
I'm just very nervous about the whole thing, and all jokes aside, I'm worried that I'm going to hold CB back from having fun doing his thing on the mountain. I'm aware I'm going into this with a very poor attitude, so I'm hoping acknowledging that I'm being negative will help. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE I'LL BE THE NEXT....... Wait, who is a famous skier? Isn't Tiger's girlfriend a skier?! Ok yeah, according to Google, I'll be the next Lindsey Vonn! Sweet!
If anyone has any tips you want to give me, I'm all ears. Preferably tips on how I can get in skiing shape in 3 days, or how to relieve sore muscles within seconds. At the very least, I'll take recs on the best booze to sip in front of a cozy fire.
On a positive note, at least I'll have
this bomb hat that I got in Toronto to keep me warm.
On an even more positive note, I won $100 on Draft Kings yesterday and I've since broken my arm patting myself on the back.
