A little Pillow Talk

OK, first off I'll apologize. It has been a LONG time since the last blog. January 18th actually. Life is good for both of us. I am off an on 4-5 days a week at work as a cost saving measure, back to 5 day work weeks and my whole pay check this week. Emily's job is going well, no major cut backs there. Not a whole lot of excitement. We got a day off with all the snow, more on the way they say. It's OK though because almost all of the 15 inches we got have melted. I've banished the Jeep to the street and have claimed it's spot in the garage for the Element. At least till the weather is better. Here is a picture of the drift against the sliding door to our bedroom.


Now, on to the Pillow Talk. So Emily and I got a TempurPedic mattress. First off, YES. You should get one. It's great. I don't sweat at night any more and I can't remember the last time I've woken up with a sore back, even after 10 hours of sleep. Emily and I both consistently sleep through the other getting up in the middle of the night and I have no idea how much she tosses and turns at night. OK, so we got two free pillows with the mattress. Emily got this sweet one that is super comfy. I picked out one that is horrible. I end up staring at my feet if I lay on my back and can't breath cause my chin is on my chest. So I wake up with neck pain a lot. So I finally gave up on it tonight. I have been sleeping on a folded up blanket, which I actually kinda like. I kinda lost it and decided to "Fix" the pillow. Have you ever fixed a pillow, using a saw?


So I pulled it out and cut it, roughly in half with the saw. That stuff is pretty tough, I tried an 8" bread knife, scissors, an 8" chef knife and then finally the saw. The saw worked and the pillow has been cut. I'm sleeping on it tonight. I'll get an update on how it works soon.

Friday, after all the snow I went up to Vail to shred some snow on the snowboard. I was pretty sure I could have already hung up the snowboard for the season, but we got dumped on. Vail had 72" of snow in 48 hours. That plus a day off work, anyway, meant hitting the slopes. Here is a pic from the back bowl area of Vail.

OK, another bit of info. I went to the North American Hand Made Bike Show in Indy. Another whirlwind tour of the Circle City. Here is a link to my flickr.com account. You can checkout some photos I took at the show!

You can also look around at some other photos I have on there. Enjoy.


OK, so trying to get into this again. Please keep checking in, I'll try and update. Leave your comments so I know where to point this and who all is reading. Thanks.
