Taking night train to south and ferry tomorrow morning and about rain, i dont care
I'm only mildly interested in gymnastics (usually women's) in summer, and figure skating in winter.
Words of advice....when going to the gym to use the pool and whirlpool, it's probably best to bring your swimwear with you.
Yeah. Got there and realized I did not have my suit in my bag. Checked my car and my extra one was not there either. I live 10 min away so I drove home and then went back. The girls at the counter said they both thought for sure they wouldn't see me back again today. But I really needed some water therapy so I had to go back.
Coming back to the Olympic opening ceremony,there was 7 billion of biodegradable confetti blown in the air to represent each person in the world. Wow,there was one confetti there dedicated to me.
I don't know why but girls (women's? They're 13-y-o) gymnastics kinda bugs me. I think because they dedicate SO much coverage to it.
I heard that water polo was on today but I can't seem to find it on the three channels that are showing olympics. My brothers played water polo for Stanford when Stanford and Cal made up half the olympic team ('88 and '92) so I still like watching the sport even if I'm the only one in the world who does.
D'oh! Glad you went back and hope your back feels better.
Last day of summer vacation for me today
I was thinking of maybe taking my son to see Ice Age 3 but I was out pretty late last night after the show and might fall asleep in a dark theatre.
last day of summer vacation? That seems so early! We still have over a month in MN before the kids go back. (day after labor day). Do you go back to work for prep or do the kids go back too? I have a friend that teaches and I know she always goes back in mid August for a few weeks of prep but I really have no idea what she does.
I girls gymnastics!
We've always started earlier than most of the country (usually kids start aroudn Aug 15th) but this year they added a fall break (one full week off in October after the first quarter) and our spring break used to be only 3 days but this year we get a whole week and a day. So that's 10 days they had to add to the calendar. Plus there's another day off somewhere... so yeah, I start tomorrow and kids start Thursday.
I have to get my classroom set up, revise and copy my syllabus, plan the first couple weeks of lessons, get my purchase orders in for the year (so we can buy supplies for shows), turn in work orders so that all the stuff that doesn't work might just work on the first day of school, etc. Three days of prep sprinkled with useless meetings will FLY by.
yeah I guess I do remember that from my days in Phoenix. I lived by a high school and was always shocked to see kids there in the middle of August. But I guess you guys do get out a lot earlier than what I'm used to seeing. We just got our back to school supplies at Target in the past few weeks. Every time I see that I still get back to school anxiety! Good luck on Thursday when the kids go back!
Wow, that's so early. It always surprises me when people go back to school before September. Guess we were really spoiled!
I've definitely kiboshed my plan to go to the foodie event today. I'm just laying on my couch, drinking coffee and watching the Olympics. Wonderful! I have about 5 or 6 channels of coverage to choose from, which is awesome. Sometimes paying for the extra sports package on cable is worth it!
I was watching tennis, when all of a sudden the channel I was watching switched to Pat O'Brien (wtf is HE doing with the Olympics - wasn't he on Entertainment Tonight or something?! ) talking to some American dudes. Weird.
I joined GetGlue last year just to get the Larry From The Sky Down sticker. So I got it... and I have no idea what to do with it. I want to put it somewhere permanent but I don'w know where.
At least you GOT it! Shortly after I told you guys about GG, it got huge and they either stopped sending stickers or are just so far behind they gave up or only mail some. I never got my Larry.
MA, we had a big storm here yesterday too and it was sooooo humid all night. It's all burnt off now though and in the mid 90s again.
Yeah I've sent emails too with no response. It's like there's no one working there... or maybe monkeys or something.
I always got stickers monthly up until about Feb. then they just stopped. There is a rumor that they still send them but there are so many zillions of people now that they just have to send them out randomly, so yeah it's not the same anymore. I still check in to stuff tho, in the hopes that someday my Larry will come.
(Not that I have a clue what to do with them either though LOL)
JJ...awwwww, pretty deer ! Can understand being startled when an animal just pops up out of nowhere, though.
Ugh, yeah, that was us a few days ago, too. There were days I'd step outside and it felt like a freaking sauna. A few nights ago there were storms in the area and the heat lightning was just intense and constant, that's how hot it'd been lately. Humidity sucks.
I was going to say mid-90s wouldn't seem cooler, but then I remembered where you live and for you guys, yeah, that would be cooler . Just have August to get through and then hopefully things should start cooling down again a little bit come fall.
It's 71 degrees here right now.
for ya cat owners
spoiler as it´s quite large pic
Yeah, we used to say "Just get to Halloween" and then it would be cooler in the day and chilly at night, but the last few years, it's still been HOT on Halloween and shorts weather on Thanksgiving.
Why do I live here again?
