One Life Stand

Well, we’re here in snowy Breckenridge.  From what I’ve seen of the town so far, it’s very quaint with lots of shops and restaurants.  I decided to take the morning off to acclimate to the altitude. I’m a bit puzzled though because the last two times I came to Colorado, I didn’t have any issues.  And Copper Mountain is definitely at a higher altitude than here.  Such is life though.

There were a gang of "us" in the airport yesterday as this is a pretty big event.  So of course the news cameras were out.  Call me crazy but I didn’t think it was particularly newsworthy but apparently the media disagrees.  But on a positive note, because this is so newsworthy, the city and/or resort want to do a publicity/lifestyle shoot.  And yours truly has been asked to be one of the models.  Now I’m regretting not really packing any makeup.  My usual "face" of eyeliner, mascara and lipgloss will have to do.  I will be compensated though so that’s nice.  This is the second trip where I’ve been asked to be a "pretty face".  I won’t pretend I’m not flattered…and the money doesn’t hurt either.  Last year, I was asked to be a spokesmodel, or whatever you call it, for a liquor company at a happy hour.  While getting paid to pass out free liquor wasn’t a bad deal, I definitely have a new respect for cocktail waitresses.  I don’t know how they do it.

But enough about that.  If you haven’t seen The Great Debaters, you should.  It is a FABULOUS movie.  I almost want to go see it again.  Have a great week and I’m off to the slopes.
