This happens every year. Why do I always forget?
... SPRING STORM TO BRING RAIN AND SNOW FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WHICH WILL BRING SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER AND WETTER CONDITIONS FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
ON FRIDAY... A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL BRING ENHANCED PRECIPITATION TO WYOMING. SNOW LEVELS FRIDAY MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO BE 6500 TO 7000 FEET THEN RISING TO 8000 TO 9000 FEET IN THE AFTERNOON. MOUNTAIN SNOWFALL OF 3 TO 6 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL WYOMING.
ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY... A WARM FRONT WILL PUSH NORTH ACROSS THE AREA... BRINGING ADDITIONAL WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN PUSH EAST ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THIS COLD FRONT WILL DROP SNOW LEVELS TO NEAR VALLEY FLOORS. AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 6 INCHES OF MOUNTAIN SNOW WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS WILL BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY... WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS EXPECTED IN THE TETONS. MOUNTAIN SNOWFALL COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES AS THIS COLD FRONT PUSHES EAST.
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE LATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES NORTHEAST INTO MONTANA.
TRAVELLERS AND THOSE WITH OUTDOOR PLANS SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ON THIS POTENTIAL SPRING STORM.

Busy, busy, busy-Friday the 23rd
Well, the busy season is finally upon us. Okay, it has been for awhile now but I'm finally getting around to blogging about it. This particular time of craziness began again with a Christmas in July/July birthdays celebrations. Carrie sent out invites to the general public and around 25 people showed up, going in and out as the mood took them. I dressed up in my Christmas apron and my fancy, shmancy red heels..JPG)

Gardiner weekend
All of last week was uber-busy. It was our last Arts Council performance and I was the lead. This was the performance that was supposed to happen in February but was cancelled due to snow. Another little spar thrown in the works was that we had promised to provide dinner, but the woman who usually does that for us was called out of town. So, I pulled Emily and Allie into the mix. Thank goodness they were willing to help because I had NO clue how to make chili.
Between kickboxing, rugby, Parks-to-Paradise race meeting and everything else that was going on, I was pretty much not getting home 'til 8 or 9 and trying to get everything fixed up on all of my breaks and lunch. Saturday morning was the start to a nice relaxing day.
Our performers were supposed to show up at 6 with the show starting at 7. Well, one of them showed up at 6:55. Thank goodness Gardiner is so relaxed. I myself am not usually relaxed. In fact, I almost started freaking out because I wasn't panicking. But really, the worst thing that might happen would be that we'd sell off the dinner and have to refund some season tickets. No biggie. Especially since I'd get my post-show cocktail that much faster.
Then, Saturday, Josh came down to look for jobs and we got to spend some time together. Good weekend.

Thanksgiving-Part One
Oh my lands. This was the best Thanksgiving EVER! It's hard to beat this kind of day. It started at 6:45 when I stole Carrie's car and went up to get Michela (pictured at left, helping to get labels on the beer, 
another picture of said beer, best brew from Gardiner Gals Basement Brewing IMHO, is on the right and a little down from here. It's only missing Trudy, the one who stirs the beer with love, something I, apparently, am incapable of), one of the Italian interns in GIS. We came back down and people started filtering over to Carrie's for breakfast and the Macy's Day Parade. Have to be honest, the parade was not as good as usual. Better than last year, but still not great. It might help if they actually showed the 
parade. Seriously, no bands, no batons, just some silly balloons and lots of people promoting themselves and their shows. Doesn't make me enjoy the show. At least we didn't have to listen so some interminable prattle from two women about a vacation they had taken together like a billion years ago. The food, of course, was excellent. There were breakfast casseroles galore as well as brown-sugar covered bacon and mimosas. Yummers. At one point there were 15 people in Carrie's tiny little apartment.
At 1o, the parade ended and we were off to the annual Gardiner Turkey Trot. I think I talked about this in my blog from last year. Someone puts an ad in the Newsletter and people just show up to walk around the triangle formed by the park entrance, the border to Gardiner, and the employee road. Going around once is approximately equivalent to 1 mile. People show up, bring donations f
or the food pantry, and then proceed to walk for as long as they feel like. Michela, Allie (plus Ruffers), Mariah (plus Sadie), Emily (plus Callie) and I (plus Corso) all went to do the trot. Altogether, I think there were about 20-30 people there (I'm bad at estimating stuff like that). I only did the first three-quarters at which point, I warned Michela, who very nicely took over Corso duties for me, that he might slip free as his collar was loose, but not to worry because he knew where the house was and would go "home." I then made sure that Corso knew that I was leaving and showed him that Michela was on the other end of his leash and then scampered off to rugby. About three yards later, Corso indeed skipped out on the Trot and promptly went back to find Josh. Sma
rt puppy. What did I know? I was enjoying myself down at the school. Plus, he made it safe so, whatever. Rugby, as always, was totally fun. There were about 16 people down there playing. I made a try (touchdown)! Granted I kind of sat down (you have to get the ball on the ground past the goal line to make a goal) but it totally counted. I also got beaned in the head. At least it was the back of my head and not my nose like happens with most balls of the sports variety. It was then back to the house. Emily, Mariah, Aaron, and Allie had started wa
tching Love Actually since our house was the designated Christmas movie watching place. Josh was upstairs watching Die Hard. At least it fits in with the Christmas movie theme. Once I got cleaned up, it was a trip up to Trudy's where appetizers were set out to whet people's appetites/keep them from gnawing off their arms. There was a gigantic spread of olives, pizza, edamame, crackers, spreads and so much goodness it was hard to take in all at once. All that goodness! How could I get it in me?

This Weekend
Started off Friday with the Art Walk in Livingston. The art stores all stay open late and offer food and wine. Went with Ally, Ally, Holly, Heidi and Lauren. It was pretty fun and we went out to Mexican's afterward. It was definitely great to get out of Gardiner and hang with some new people for awhile. Doesn't the picture look totally five girls in the big City? I have some gorgeous friends. It makes me feel pretty too ;-)Saturday was very slow and wonderfully boring. Worked at the K-Bar on Sunday. Made 40 pizzas. Considering my average is around 26, it was pretty amazing. And I made good tips. Loving this week as well.
