Adventures

Melody's (new roommate) idea is have an adventure every day. Saturday's adventure was cross-country skiing and that awesomeness carried over into Sunday. Monday's adventure was getting to school. It had drifted Sunday night pretty bad and we couldn't get the main door open (again). We went out the apartment door and were blazing trail through waist-deep snow, laughing hysterically the whole way. Tuesday's adventure was trying this "Jalapeno Kippered Red Salmon" that Melody had gotten in Nome (as a gift from someone). It looked gross, but tasted like cold salmon. It really wasn't even all that slimy. Today's adventure was crazy. There is a flagpole outside teacher housing and there is a substantial drift between our door and the pole. Not to mention the hazardous steps. First one to touch the flagpole and get back to the door gets. . . um. . . eternal bragging rights? Picture this: I'm in pajama pants and tennis shoes, she's in jeans and tennis shoes, no coats or snow pants, and we're making a break for this drift that's taller than me. I won, but totally biffed it on the steps coming back. She fell in the drift when she lunged for my feet coming back because I was ahead. It was the best thing ever. Pictures will be posted to Facebook soon. I wonder what tomorrow's adventure will be?
