Hey I just found this picture on the internet, and I thought it was cute! I am still having trouble trying to get my profile picture! Did it take forever to upload?

Summer cold

Blah! I still can't seem to shake this summer cold I have. This morning, while on the bus, I had a coughing fit where I coughed so much I brought on tears! I am pretty sure everyone on that bus moved at least another foot away from me. I felt so sorry for the lady sitting next to me because she had to endure my hacking. Oh I hate being sick! Thank goodness I had my trusty Halls in my purse, or else I'd probably still be coughing.

San Diego!

Ry and I are back from San Diego, and we had a great time! I gained back a half pound from all of the wonderful food but am still ahead of the track I put myself on. According to the pedometer on my phone, I put on about 2-3 times as many steps as I normally do, and Ry and I spent about an hour running in the pool one morning (not as easy as I thought it would be). We did a ton of things, including parasailing! What an awesome experience! I would recommend it to anyone, even if you're a little afraid of heights!

Week 1, Day 1 of the new program

I started the new training program last night and it was quite a workout! Did it take anyone else 3 hours to complete? Either I did too much or I spent too much time looking at the sheets in between exercises. I have a feeling I will be sore by the end of the day.

Brazil vs. USA

It was just announced that Brazil will be challenging the USA men for the other American spot in the Worlds this year. A competition in January 2009 against the Brazil team will be a best of 5 to see which country's men's team will be represented at the Worlds. How will the U.S. decide who plays Brazil? That would be fun to watch. Hopefully it will be in the Midwest. That's exciting that curling is expanding now into southern countries.
