Aug. 11, 2008 - Burning my hand with butter, USA Women's Gymnastics Qualigying Showing, and Good times at VBS
So, last night, I was making dinner...for the first time in 8 whopping weeks, and boy, was I having some problems. Well, to begin, I forgot to buy something, so we had to make do. And then the toaster was working not so well, so some of the toast was crispy and some would barely cool. AND THEN-I melted some butter in the microwave, and pulled it out, and I must not have been too careful, because it splattered on my hand... so yes, I burned my hand with butter. Don't laugh.
Did anyone watch the USA Women's gymnastics' team qualifying debut last night? They weren't doing so well, unfortunately. Two of the gymnasts got ankle injuries right before so they were only able to compete on the bars. There were three steps out of bound in the floor routines, and then two falls off the bars as well as Nastia's scary tumble on her landing. The beam, though, was awesome. Our girls rocked it out! As usual, Shawn Johnson was the rock she usually is with no issues and her always there smile. If you heard there team meeting afterwards, though, it seemed like everyone was taking the whole thing in stride and it was actually really funny to listen to them talk! Make sure to watch on Tuesday night for the team finals. Hopefully, they'll have finished all their damage control from last night, and they'll have a really good showing against the Chinese.
This morning was our first morning at VBS. It went so much better than I expected-especially with only 12 people. We divided them into 6 teams of 2 each, and it seemed to work out really well. All of the competitions went smoothly, and the best part was watching everyone compete in trying to make peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches the fastest. Boy, I didn't think it should be that hard. But, the bocce ball was a riot to watch!
Today I'm working on organizing our figure skating program for this fall.
And cleaning my room.
And calling about a job...
so, lots of new and exciting stuff going on..
Comment and keep me posted on you!
