HATE

hate [heyt] verb, hat·ed, hat·ing,
–verb (used with object)
1. to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward;

I realized how frequently the word hate is used. My kids at work were saying it ALL the time... "I hate that game. I hate so and so... I hate sitting by this person... I hate it when so and so tries to play with us" I honestly heard that word atleast 30+ times on Friday. So, my kids are banned from saying that word. And the "that is a strong word" talk didn't work... so, now if they do use that word, they owe me push ups and jumping jacks. 1st and 2nd graders hate push ups and jumping jacks... so it was a rather effective punishment on friday. So, just a warning, if your around me and you use that word when it is unecessary, you will have to drop and give me 20 pushups and then 40 jumping jacks

Snowshoeing

Me rolling down a steep hill... (well, only pretending to roll down a steep hill)

I love Montana.

I snowshoed in Montana yesterday. It was amazing. The weather was amazing. The snow was amazing. the scenery was amazing. The company was amazing. Montana is amazing. It was such a beautiful day! I don't understand how anyone could hate cold and winter. I LOVE being outside in the winter. Snowshoe, Crosscountry skiing, Snowboarding, snow angels, snow ball fights, laying in the snow looking at the starts. Yes, Winter is my favorite season. I love it, I love it, I love it!!!!!
