  • Thursday night I went to the NCAA Gymnastics Championships. It was held at Oregon State this year, and our team made it to the championships so the retired crew girlies thought we should make an appearance and cheer for Beaver pride.

    Sciarrino was there too, but I think because I see Sciarrino so often that I forget to take pictures of her, which isn’t good, sorry Sciarrin! There was lots of flipping and twisting, and insane body manipulation going on.

    Can you see the girl flipping in the background. Crazy. Unfortunately the Beavers didn’t advance to the next round, but we are very proud of them for making it to the NCAA, something we couldn’t accomplish in crew during our four years.

    Yesterday was pretty slow, Ribbon Jar wise, so I spent the afternoon being crafty (results to follow at a later date), which was very fun. Bj came over after work and we went to babysit hang out with my little friend Anna, whom I’ve watch over the years. We all went to see Ice Age: The Meltdown. There was this one part where these little animals were all copying what this bigger animal was doing. Well it was so funny, I laughed until I cried. Loved it. Then we hung out there until her mom got home, Bj is a baby-sitting newbie, and he fell asleep, but it was adorable, so I didn’t wake him. Today Bj and I are headed out and about, and I’m dragging some Peaches and Cream cotton with me…. washcloths baby!!!

  • Okay so you know there are guys here working on the kitchen right? Well they are real talkers, talk all day long about everything. Just heard this, thought I’d share:

    Tile guy one: "I want to go to Venezuela"
    Tile guy two: "oh"
    Tile guy one: "Have you seen the movie Anaconda?"
    Tile guy two: "no"
    Tile guy one: "Ya, it starts in Venezuela" 
                         "They have anacondas there."
                         "I love anacondas."
                         "300 pounds, six feet long"
                         "love em."
    Tile guy two: "My daughter’s gerbil was killed by a snake."

    All that was going through my head: "My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns HUN!"
    Oh my sides hurt.
