So, while you guys were having fun in DC, here's what I did last night:

Bet you didn't know I was a rock star! :rotfl: :lmao: ;)

One of my firm's major events of the summer is a Battle of the Bands, where legitimate bands (with at least one member of our firm in them) perform. It is a very LOUD, very fun, very tiring 7+ hour event, and it's my pleasure to coordinate the evening. We had about 450 people in attendance last night!

And for the past 5 years, there has always been a "surprise" act. The most infamous surprise act was back in 2001, when Frisky Kitty took the stage for the first time. FK was a band that arose out of a happy hour idea gone haywire, and produced 5 female members of the firm performing a song on stage, live, with real musical instruments, when no one had any sort of formal musical training (or talent). I was an inaugural member of that group, and after the raucuous reception (even though we were not very good - must have been the leather pants :rolleyes: ), we decided to repeat the act with 4 songs in 2002. We then retired on a "high" note.

Fast forward to 2006, when we all (and a few new members) reconvened after the 2005 "surprise" act, Sourpuss, threatened FK's integrity as the greatest all female band to ever perform at BOB. It was one final swan song - heck, it was 7 final swan songs!!! I'm happy it's over, but also happy to report that we were a heck of a lot better in 2006 than in the past - and we survived!
Lindsay that looks like so much fun! I bet it was a nice release from all of the stress you've been under at work!!

He will enjoy the 25 yard pool more. I know the 50yd pools are very intimidating. All we have here are the 25yd pools. I know alot of swimmers practice year round. The boys have never asked to do that so I have never checked into it. I am glad they are into different sports instead of the same thing all the time.

:thumbsup2

I definitely think different sports are for the best, especially when they are young. It seems like there are so many more injuries now that many kids are doing the same sport year-round. I can't tell you how many high school swimmers I know with messed up shoulders. Same goes for other sports.

I think I'll stay out of your football rivalry for the time being! :rotfl:

I'm glad all of you had fun at the DC Meet. The pictures are great!

Is a Duck Tour a land and water tour?

Beth,

Did Kate make you a new signature? I love it!

Thanks, Denise! I played around in Photoshop Elements and made it myself. I think Kate's would probably be better, but I'm happier to have accomplished something myself.

I really need to get to the grocery store...but I'm moving very slowly today! It's much easier to sit here and check the thread than to get going.

My flight was great. First of all the Regan airport is so very easy in security. Probably just because it is not as busy as some airports. I mean I went thru the screenings but they were really laid back.
I have to figure out how to get the pictures from my camera to my sister's photoshop to my photobucket.

As I was coming on the plane, I asked the Flight Attendant if I could have a pair of wings for Mickey (Thomas) he teased me and said "Oh those are really for you" I told him the story of Thomas and he came back later with a pair of wings and I immediately put them on Thomas. As I was getting off the plane, I gave him information on how he could read about the Pal Mickey's travels and he asked if I would like a picture of Thomas in the cockpit. I was so surprised and tried to get my camera out of my purse and the batteries fell out !!!!! :eek: Down on the tarmack they went. The pilot ran down the steps and brought them up. Took Thomas and put him on the console and told me I could take his picture. I looked at him and said "Are you sure?" He let me take the picture of Thomas in the cockpit and he positioned his hat to make it look like Thomas was wearing it. Then he even let me stand IN THE COCKPIT and took my picture with Thomas. I will post pictures later hopefully
How special! I can't wait to see the pictures! Have fun at your sister's house.

Good morning, all! It looks like you had a great time in DC! I was at a 3-day swim meet (outside) Friday-Sunday beginning every day at 7 am and ending after 8 pm each evening. It was long, hot, and tiring, but we had a good time. Our club hosted the meet, so there was no sitting idle time. I timed events from 9 am-12:00pm and 2:00 pm-7:00 pm and also stickered and sorted awards.

Friday and Sunday were blistering, and I look a bit like a lobster. Saturday alternated between pouring rain and blistering. I'll take the blistering any day over the rain! Well, working a swim meet anyway.

Paula--my prayers are with your SIL and her family.
Amy and Kevin--I love the photos of your family.

My boys are standing over my shoulder ready to use the computer. I'll have to finish catching up later.

Here is a photo of dd swimming the fly.

What a great picture! We had our City Meet on Saturday and it was "flippin" hot! There was no shade!! Fortunately Christopher is in the 6 and under so we didn't have to stay too long. I felt bad that I didn't volunteer for anything this summer, but 7 and 8 months pregnant just doesn't jive with standing on the hot deck for hours!!

Sounds like you had a great swim team weekend. Our Gwinnett County meet was this weekend at Georgia Tech Olympic Aquatic Center. It was HUGE!!! Friday was just for the 8yr old and under. Alex did great!!! He placed 15th in 50yd freestyle and the 25yd butterfly. He thought getting 15th was bad since he was used to placing 1st and 2nd at the local meets. I had to explain to him that 15th in the county meet was super!!!! We had a great time.

Lynn
Whoo Hoo Alex! :cheer2:

You definitely shouldn't feel guilty! You shouldn't be in the standing in the sun. Besides, you will have many more years to volunteer ahead of you. It is neat that there were three of us at swim meets this weekend. Laura is done with meets for a while now. There is still summer champs next weekend, but she isn't going this year.

Boo, hiss! BTW, kick off is Sept 2! Roll Tide Roll! We don't play UGA this year, but we play LSU on Nov 11 at Baton Rouge.

I just checked the schedule and we don't play BAMA or LSU this year. What is up with that?? I still have to tolerate my SIL when we play Auburn and a couple of co-workers when we play TECH. I have been told by another co-worker that he has me 4 tickets to the home game on Sept 9th. I am not counting on them until they are in my hands but it would definitely be great if we get them.

Lynn
 
Kate, I left my post count at 2,222 for the entire weekend. I made sure that was my last post on Thursday, because I knew I wouldn't get a chance to post over the weekend. Of course, you weren't here to notice it. :rotfl:

Didn't I make you the sparkly LSU Mickey head? I can shrink it down to avatar size.

I'll miss a few games since I didn't plan this birth so well, but I'm actually looking forward to being able to watch the other SEC teams on TV!

That was really good. You can actually type cajun talk. When I read it back it sounded really good!!! I just checked the schedule and UGA doesn't play LSU or BAMA this year. But I did see where LSU will play BAMA. You and Denise can have some fun rivalry with that one.
