Okay, I think I'll pass on the shaved head thing!
I've been growing my hair out since we went to Disney in July of 2007 - nearly 18 months and I swear it's not any longer. I only get it trimmed every couple months and lately I'm just telling them to trim the back (bottom) and bangs only since I'm trying to grow out the sides and back and I don't think it's any longer than when I started. If I shaved it, it might be permanent!
Well, Mac, we have the warning flashings on my weather channel toolbar. Really annoying because when there's a warning, it also makes a kind of swooshing/flushing sound every 5 minutes or so. I think it's new this year, and the first day it was just driving me crazy trying to figure out where this sound was coming from! But anyway, it's saying 6 to 12 right now, and from the description, it sounds like the same one you're talking about from the panhandle.
I just came in from shoveling AGAIN - looks like we got another 4 inches or so and it's still snowing. Shoveled about 3 inches yesterday before we left, and I know I shoveled Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm thinking maybe Friday was the only day I didn't shovel this week?!
Maybe from now on I just have to measure my good days in how much snow I have to shovel! Sounds like tomorrow and Tuesday at least aren't going to be good days!
And the sad thing is that I was out there thinking "Well, at least it's warmer!" Just checked the weather and it's a balmy 11! And yes, that feels warm! This morning I wanted to go out in the hot tub and loosen up after the swim yesterday, but when I checked the temp then it was -3, with a wind chill of -23!
Katie - I didn't know it would be like that either. Thought it would be kind of by gender and age - you know, maybe combine a few age groups if there weren't enough. Not just completely mixed. But I think it was good because you got to swim where you were competitive. I was most impressed with my seed times which I had to completely make up with a guess (because the Y where I work out doesn't have blocks and wouldn't let you dive in), then convert them to meters. Yet on both my 50 and 100 free, I was within a second. I guessed my 100 IM time would be about the same as my 100 back (since I'm fairly equal on back and fly, good on free and bad at breaststroke). Well, yesterday my 100 back and 100 IM time were 6/100th's of a second apart, so I guess that was a good guess!
One thing was that the ref (judge, what do you call it in swimming?) came over to me after the 100 back and told me that my start was illegal and if it were a state meet I would have been disqualified. Came home and looked it up and apparently that's changed since the old days when I swam 25 years ago. Used to be able to start on the gutter, but I guess now your feet have to be under the surface of the water?! Unfortunately, there's nowhere I can practice that either. On the plus side, at least I didn't lose my goggles on any of my starts yesterday, which I was stressing about since my last start was about those 25 years ago, and I never wore my contacts back then when I swam!
Mac - I don't know what's up with Matt's knee. I waited 1.5 hours with him for the doc and finally had to leave for work before he ever made it in.
So I'm getting it second hand. Sounds something like loose bone chips in there that they're trying to move so they're not rubbing and making it hurt?
His back is the same thing he had problems with a year ago - easily fixable with about 3 PT sessions, but evidently easy to come back again too! Guess we'll find out what they say Tuesday (hopefully!).
Good night all!
