Warning ahead for bitching and ranting and generally cranky mere. Okay, as some of you may or may not know I am currently supposed to be on vacation with my family up at Horseshoe hill resort. Unfortunately as I a) don't like to ski all that much, b) there is literally nothing else to do and c) I hate the cold with a burning passion usually reserved for my relatives, it was not to be.
See, we got up there and both me and my sis and my dad were feeling pretty good about this. It's a really nice resort and I was looking forward to a week of bumming about and doing nothing whatsoever. The usual. But see, there were aparently a few mixups with the room. Both me my sis and my dad all thought that we were getting a suite room, one of the ones with 2 seperate bedrooms and all that lovely stuff, only we get there to find out that there is no seperate bedroom, there is a couch. A very uncomfortable couch that I can't seem to sleep on for more than an hour without waking up ready to castrate something.
To top off this lovely sleeping arangement, my mom's got this thing where she can't seem to feel the cold at all, meaning she cranks down the heater because she's too hot while the rest of us freeze. I could actually see my breath the first night. Brrrr. Oh, and did i mention that there was only one blanket between me and beej? Oh, did I mention it was -20 out? Hmmm, there was that too...
Needless to say, after 2 nights of that I was really cranky and not all that forgiving, therefore when parents started in on me for things like turning up the heat because I couldn't feel my toes anymore I basically told them where to shove it and am now home alone with the puppy in a toasty warm house with a big mug of hot chocolate and internet access.
See, I love my family dearly, they just drive me absolutely mental all the time if I'm kept in an enclosed space with them for more than a day or two at a time. I feel bad for leaving beej there all alone, but I like to be able to feel my extremities too and ahaving circulation won out in the end.
Mmmmmm, hot chocolate......
