Official Notice
This is your official notice. I am potentially in great danger.
LC and I have decided to go on a snowy adventure weekend. This involves driving into far away mountains, wearing many layers of puffy unflattering clothes, and then doing a bunch of stuff which sounds really cool but may really just reveal what a klutz I am. Despite all obstacles, I am still stupidly excited.
I am going bobsledding. And snowshoeing, and dogsledding, and maybe even toboganing. Oh yes, yes I am.
If you knew me, you’d be laughing right now for several reasons. First and foremost, I am a klutz. I possess a total talent for injuring myself in bizarre ways doing relatively mundane things. I have rotten balance. I fall down a lot. Second I am crazy out of shape. You may or may not have noticed that a few of those activities could be physically demanding. And I lack the physique that they might then demand. So yes, much hilarity may ensue here.
Add to that pile that I will do it all in front of LC. I will don 4 layers of clothing and waddle about in three feet of snow. I will try not to scream on a bobsled. I will attempt to be graceful as I walk around in snow shoes. And then I will pretend I’m fine the next morning when every square inch of my body is screaming in pain. Oh yes, and thanks to the necessity for knit hats this weekend, I will have perpetually bad hair.
I expect the outcome to be amusing for you. Just remember dear readers, it’s all about you.

Thank you for taking one for the team! And … good luck!
I do what I can.
Think of yourself like an over-wrapped gift. That’s day-to-day winter coping in Montreal. I hav a huge down parka to my knees, boots up to them (they HAVE to be flat or you’ll fall – so no heels ’til spring) sheepskin mitts and a knit hat. When the city thaws, and women start wearing normal stuff, they fall all over themselves. I suspect something similar is going to happen for you. Besides, guys love a girl who’s confident and sweet enough to look terrible for a day
Or something.
I love that you are trying to turn my klutziness into confidence. It’s sweet.
A couple of things:
1) Stop apologizing for being you! You have a lot of strong qualities and abilities, maybe winter activities aren’t on this list but if you keep apologizing you are setting yourself up to fail.
2) There is no such thing as walking gracefully in snow shoes
3) Snow is soft to fall in and while you’re down there, just roll to your back and make a snow angel. Think “I meant to do that” and make the best of it.
4) Just like the best part of skiing is Apres Ski, I bet there is some kind of Apres Bobsledding that will involve wine and a fireplace.
There was no room to pack the negativity on this weekend with all those clothing layers, so leave it at home and have some fun!
That reminds me, I still have to figure out how to fit the snow pants into my weekend getaway bag. This should be good for a few laughs.
Pretty please with sugar on top… tweet all weekend long!
I’m thinking the giant gloves I will have to wear will be hindering my ability to use twitter on the go…
Please take many pictures for us. Just don’t end up like that guy hanging from the ski lift naked.
Not to worry, we aren’t doing any skiing.
You are my hero. Just make sure you take your insurance card with you…….
I survived without needing it, but just barely!
Woohoo! Sounds like a blast! Just remember the best part is snuggling up in front of the fireplace at the end of the day. Can’t wait to hear all about it.
Or in the hot tub. Mmmmmm… hot tub…
I swear I’ve checked your blog this weekend, but maybe I’m mistaken since my boy had food poisoning for a good chunk of it. I was kinda preoccupied.
I hope you had lots of fun! Being the kind of girl who says yes and goes with the flow should earn you way more points than falling down can subtract. And ExP is right – at least snow is soft. Plus, your clothes are padded. Look forward to hearing about it.
I love when the best thing that can be said is that I’m unlikely to hurt myself when I fall down.
I’m behind on reading your site, so might comments might not match up with where you are today.
Hopefully you had fun.
By now you’ve realized I did.
