. as we speak… in the mountains [again] .

March 31, 2014 by Amanda @ .running with spoons. 68 Comments

Hey, hey! Happy Monday! 😀

I think that came across sounding a little more enthusiastic than I actually feel… After spending the last two days snowboarding, driving, and staying up far later than I’m used to, I.am.tired. How the heck did I used to do this all the time when I was younger?!? I have no idea, but I do know that I’m definitely going to need an extra cup of coffee or two to get through today.

I had a blasty blast, though, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. In fact, I may be able to do it again in a few weeks, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves and recap this last weekend first, shall we? And let’s do it selfie As We Speak style…  

As we speak, I’m… trying to shake the feeling that I forgot something. Toothbrush? Check. Phone? Check. Underwear? Check. Hmm…

Did I Forget Something?

I’m also simultaneously admiring my eyelashes… Thank you, Maybelline.

Pretty Eyelashes

As we speak, I’m… currently out of commission. No coffee = no talkie.

I'm Out Of Commission

Here’s some random scenery instead…

Random Rocks

Frozen Lake

Sunny Mountains

As we speak, I’m… one step closer to becoming more human…

Enjoying My Coffee

Thank you, dear friend…

Road Trip Bux

As we speak, I’m… happy to be out of the car after a 3.5 hour drive and gearing up for a day on the slopes.

Gearing Up For Boarding

As we speak, I’m… keeping myself entertained on the [long] way up the mountain by snapping pictures on the chairlift. Note to self: do not take gloves off for extended periods of time when it’s cold and windy out. Ouch.

Chairlift Selfie

Up The Chairlift

Up The Chairlift2

Lots of Trees

Mountain at Marmot

As we speak, I’m… strapping myself in at the top of the mountain, apparently with no idea that my picture was being taken…

Snowboard Strapping In

Snowboard Strapping In2

As we speak, I’m… apparently feeling the need to snap a picture of the banana I was eating during an afternoon break in the lodge. Blogging habits die hard. It was a good banana.

Snowboarding Banana

As we speak, I’m… back on the slopes! And looking for my snowboard in the crazy amount of snow they had up there. Conditions.were.awesome.

Looking For My Snowboard

Snowboard Buried In Snow

As we speak, I’m… done for the day and calling dibs on my bed back at the hotel. The one by the window/patio is always mine.

Dibs On The Bed

As we speak, I’m… taking the ever-classy bathroom selfie [after winning my choice of beds]… I’m also singing the [annoying] #Selfie song in my head. But first… let me take a selfie…

Hotel Room Selfie

As we speak, I’m… making hotel room oatmeal on Sunday morning. Please note the Starbucks cup that I saved from the day before and the cinnamon shaker that I brought from home. Now I just need to start remembering to bring salt…

Hotel Oatmeal Breakfast

As we speak, I’m… at it again for round two. I’m also secretly wondering what the heck I’m supposed to do with my hands. Oh posing… you make me feel all sorts of awkward…

On The Mountains Again

As we speak, I’m… enjoying the views on the way home… for all of about 30 minutes before I started asking #arewethereyet?!? Why is it that the drive home always feels so much longer than the drive there?

On The Way Home

And now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go ahead and eat everything in sight. Snowboarding cranks up my appetite like nothing else, so I see an epic day of eats ahead of me. Happy Monday, friends! Make it a good one! 😀

Signature

My mind is running a blank for questions, so tell me one awesome thing that happened this weekend.
OR finish this sentence: “As we speak, I’m…”

    Looks like you had an awesome time! And wow, I didn’t realize it took you over three hours to get to the slopes! #dedication 😉

    As we speak, I’m waiting for my relief at work to walk in the door so I can gooooooo tooooooo beddddddddd! So tired…and with the way I’ve been sitting in this chair (while catching up with my favorite Spoon), my ass is now numb. And yes, I just thought you’d like to know! See, that’s what happens when you run out of questions to ask at the bottom of a blog post! 😉

    As we speak I am half asleep but needed to read this post when I saw it was filled with selfies! Oh and I’m on round 3 of popcorn. Watching the kardashians revs up my appetite!

    You have gone from the serious selfie to the silly selfie, and I like it.

    As we speak, I’m reading blogs while waiting for the felines to finish their food. If I walk away and leave them to fend for themselves, it’s anarchy. Such excitement around here.

    As we speak, I’m on campus reading blogs until my 9am class starts, wishing I was skiing (no snowboarding for me…) on a mountain somewhere. Or in a lodge, drinking spiked hot chocolate.

    There’s NOTHING like being outdoors for a few days doing something you love. Even if it wears you out (and revs up your metab!) it is so refreshing for the soul 🙂

    You would be the only person to look fabulous in a beanie and a ski jacket. 😉 I also find myself taking pictures of random snacks without really needing to do so…force of habit indeed.
    As we speak, I am listening to Tori Kelly while doing homework AND reading your blog. Multi-tasking? Nah. Procrastinating? Yup.
    Have a great week, girl!
