From july archive

i got up early this morning and went to the pink palace to help mrtc with the design a wish race 5k. i was a chute (sp?) monitor so i got to clap and tell all the runners good job and make sure they stayed in right order as they were crossing finish line so the card the got was in the same order they crossed in. i think im going to start volunteering more since i cant run right now and they can always use volunteers. plus i got a free tshirt :)

bailie (if you can believe it)

From july archive

i rarely am able to get stationary pictures of bailie, but when i do they rock! doesnt she just look royal or something? she looks like a big bad hunter kitty. wish she was a little bit less skittzy around people so i could atleast pick her up. she's started to come lay on me lately, but only if i dont move or make too much noise though :)

gold medal!

From july archive

the base has a base wide olympic competition every year. events range from running to bowling and volleyball to classic track events (shot put, etc). We competed in the wallyball (volleyball in a racket ball court) competition and we won gold medal out of 18 teams! we won all four games we played and no team scored more than 11 (out of 15) points on us. they were amazed at how well we played and werent shocked when we told them we played twice a week every week. some of them got frustrated with me especially because im female and most of the military types hate being beat by a girl! :) at least i won a gold medal for something in my life, lol! :)

rain rain go away

From july archive

rain of epic proportions this morning and most of today. i didnt get a picture of the rain ditch at work till it was the end of the day and most of the water had drained away, but atleast i got it with some water in it. The water this morning was up almost to the top of the ditch!

frist date revisited

From july archive

Around this time 2 years ago james and i went on our first date! :) i cant believe its been two years already! we went to the movies and a restaurant near the movies after and had a blast! who knew?! so we did something similar today too :) except we went to the restaurant, then two movies. we went to see despicable me and grown ups.

From july archive

we got to the theater for despicable me 10 minutes before the show was supposed to start and rather than wait in the loooong line to the counter i went to the automated self ticket booth and got tickets with little or no wait. woo woo to being tech savvy! Despicable me was cute cute cute! "ITS SO FLUFFY!!!!!" And grown ups was a cute "appreciate your family" type movie. Over all an enjoyable day!

landry lazing

From july archive

laundry day and of course the instant i put down the basket guess who was in it...

rain cloud

From july archive

when i was leaving work today i saw this. i thought it was neat because i could see the bright blue sky on one side and the rain cloud and rain on the other. interesting contrast

movie bummer

From july archive

james and i went to the movies today to see the airbender movie and boy was it a let down, big time! first let down was that the concession counter wasnt taking credit cards even though the ticket counter was and no one told us. so, no big drinks and/or skittles for the movie :( then the movie itself was a let down. james and i both love the avatar/airbender cartoon series and the movie was totally jacked up! the director changed peoples names, personalities, and events...hopefully the next one will be better, but i doubt it :( so sad since the movie had such potential!

happy 4th of july!

From july archive

slept in again today! love long weekends! went to a friends house for a 4th of july celebration. should have taken a picture of the fireworks or the launch bottles, but didnt think of it at the time...ah well.

light change

From july archive

was in the grocery and saw these flowers and thought they were a beautiful color. i tried to take a picture without the flash (above) but didnt quite get the color in the pic that i wanted so tried with the flash (below) and was amazed at the difference! if i hadnt taken the picture i would think they were two different sets of flowers

btw, what kind of flowers are they? :)

good friday night

From july archive

went to dinner at sekisui with james to have sushi and it was AWESOME! he's been working long hours this week so enjoyed seeing and spending time with him finally :)

From july archive

we then went to hang out with some of our friends. we played darts and i kicked butt! it was a peg dart board, but it was still fun.

connect tha dots...

From july archive

went to see the physical therapist today and wow did i learn a lot about my legs, how all the muscles, bones, etc work together to keep things aligned and what happens when the IT band is prevented from working the way it should. i found out i have 9 little restrictions (places where the IT band is connected to the muscle which it shouldnt be) on my left leg and 5 big restrictions on my right let including one near my hip. all of the restrictions are on the thigh side of my IT band though, dont have any on the hamstring side the therapist says that he thinks the one near my hip is the one that is causing the most problems for my knee. i have PT homework - foam roll rolling on my legs - to do before my next PT session next wednesday....all of its going to be very very painful, but hopefully itll help in the end. The pic is of all the dots up my left leg...each dot represents a restriction...fun huh?

oh, and happy first day of july!!!!
