hmm.
a nice, relaxing tuesday night.
after a ridiculous day at work
(the server for the whole school district got that virus; therefore, nothing got done that needed to get done today. for anyone. and who knows when it will get fixed. really bad timing, i have a ton of stuff to do before the end of the year.)
but enough about that!
let's see, what has been happening?
snow patrol saturday night: oh man! i wanted so badly for it to be awesome, but alas-the sound in that venue was really bad.
way too much bass, too much drums, you could barely hear vocals or guitar-bummer.
it would have been great if the sound was right, though. i'll see them again at a different place.
matt and i spent a lot of time at the beach this past weekend.
we finally bought an umbrella (SPF 100, can you believe it?) so we can stay out all day long and not look like leather skins!
i relaxed and read "the bridge to terabithia"-anyone remember that from late elementary/jr. high?
we went to encinitas and took our little grill and made a yummy lunch of grilled hotdogs, chips, strawberries....mmmm...
why does food taste so good at the beach????
we also went surfing and it felt so great! i could not stop laughing!
the waves weren't that great, but it was fun to paddle around, sit on the board, and try to catch the breakers.
i got up on my knees a few times, so i consider that victory.
i have always felt that i was a semi-strong swimmer.
until i entered the ocean with a 9 foot piece of fiberglass.
that deal is hard to handle when the waves are rough and unforgiving!
absolutely exhausting! but a fantastic workout that you don't even realize you're getting!
i received a fun letter from grammy yesterday! hey grammy, my friend had one of those cool water bottles today and hers was not leaking :)
emily, you will be receiving 2 pkgs in the mail soon, so keep a lookout!
i (like mary) am looking forward to the triathlon, getting mentally prepared, doing research, working out a training schedule (we start june 13th for any interested parties...)
22 days of school left!!!
26 days until i come home to ohio for a nice summer vacation!
