I think i could have almost died...
i was driving home (hamburg) from amanda's house (williamsville) in my mom's big, dumb mini van.
i hate that thing, the wheel alignment is all off and the left headlight is all crooked...
and the windshield wipers SUCK!!! especially with the salt from the roads.
so I'm driving along the 290 and then the 90 and at first its ok, i cleaned off the windshield before i left her house with some snow and i knew there was still some antifreeze/window washer fluid left, but stupid cars have to go passing me at 3:00 in the morning and of course their tires decide to spit up onto my just cleaned windshield... so after i can't see the white dashed lines anymore, i decide its time to use the antifreeze, but it was sooo cold the stuff hit the windshield and froze. can you believe it, anitifreeze, freezing, crazy, eh??? well you can imagine, the visability didn't get much better except for this tiny little spot right in the middle on the bottom of the window so of course i had to get the rest of the way home peering through this little peep hole. i survived, but it was scary.
I'm not gonna say it, but if you know me or anything about me, you know exactly what i would like to say right now... BUT I'M NOT SAYING IT!!!!!!!!!!
have a good night, my bed is calling for me ;)

i no longer have my white spandex and bra on my head user pic... but now you can see my big hairy butt!!!!
(no, its not really my butt, but it would be cool it if was ;))

I'M HOME!!! but its freezing... it was truely painful getting off the plane, but im in the house now, on my brand new bed!!! and about to go to sleep ;) g'night

and i really like playing w/ the snow flakes on the screen, don't know what it is, but i like em... but don't really get the orange one... oh, I'll click it again, maybe it will get it eventually 8*

oh, i was playing with the snowflakes, and wow, the green ones make em move!!! that's so cool, but i didn't know the red one turns them off :( i wasnt don't playing. that was soo sad :( but they were still fun to play with :)

ok, on a side note, so i was at this going away party for a girl on my team last night, and for some strange reason, i agreed to be the driver of about 15 people, when all i have is my chevy Lumina, now he holds a lot, but still, that's a lot of trips all around to get ppl there... ok, besides that, after thinking about it all night, i came to the conclusion that the most entertaining part of the evening was when tash knocked sarah off the back of a truck while sarah was puking and had already made quite a mess there as well. sarah definitly crashed head first into puddle of slime, and then proceded to roll around in it wondering why she was on the ground. hehehehehe
poor sarah :(
but what i find interesting about that story was that TASH was the one who knocked her into it... the same TASH who knocked me into the water at practice a few weeks ago...
do you sence a pattern forming??? i think i do...
i just can't wait to see who's next ;)

did ya ever want to go to sleep for 8 whole years??? i would, except for the fact that i'd be lost when i woke up, missing out on 8 whole yers and all... and everyone would have moved on with their lives and i would still be where i was before, that would kinda be sad :( so maybe sleeping for 8 whole years wouldn't be such a good idea, but a few good hours never hurt anybody... have they???

wow, snow flakes on my screen and so easy to shovel!!! (if it was only that easy)
and they were on me this morning while running in that turkey trot too... sooo cold 8*
but it was fun, aside from running soooo slow w/ my brother. and i saw a few ppl from high school too ;)
then back here to do the dinner thing w/ the fam
AND THEN....
while trying to track down my luggage in detroit or buffalo all last night and again all day today w/ absolutly no luck, i recieved a phone cal... from the miami airport!!! it was there, my bag... w/ my name on it... and tags to miami w/ a different airline and from over a week ago. it had been sitting there since i left yesterday. then some woman started searching through it... found some phone numbers in one of my notebooks and called some ppl in my classes... they gave her my cell number... and now its hopefully on its way here!!! now if everything goes well, I'll have my books, clothes, and stuff by 10:30 tonight!!!!

so what happened was i forgot to take my old tag off(but i never take em off) and so when the guy was putting the new tag on, instead of taking the old one off, he removed the buffalo one he just put on... so it is my fault :( i feel so stupid, and i even went to get some new underwear today since i had none.
but i learned my lesson... always take off old tags, anddont check unless absolutly necessary!!!

well hope everyone's having a great thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!

so i just got back, im lying on my bed typing, its cold out, definitly buffalo... but what's missing??? MY LUGGAGE!!!!!!! they lost it :( i have no clothes :( no books:( no tooth brush:( or even brush for that matter:( and so much more stuff that i had in my suitcase :( but its somewhere either still in Detriot (where i had my connecting flight) or maybe on its way to buffalo on a later flight, or with my luck, in some other city:(
i have nothing to wear or books to study!!! i don't know what to do :( what should i do??? and i was planning on going out tonight, eeek... i might be borrowing a bra from my mom, how bad is that:( maybe i shouldn't admit that, oh well, i did. and i guess i have other clothes to wear, but what about the turkey trot tomorrow morning.. all my dry fit warm clothes are in that suitcase :( how did they lose it on me??? so not nice... ok, that's it... i should prolly get off the phone line so if they call saying they found it i can go get it ;) HOPEFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!

so i posted a little thing a few days ago about my rowing trip to VA, but now i have some pictures !!!! so i figured i'd post a few of them too ;)

So this pic is from our saturday night search for dinner turned into moving cars so we could get our bus out of the stupid lot...



then this is what we experienced sunday morning showing up to our cold boats



our poor fin was even covered in frost :(



and of course... us rowing by (I'm in the white hat)



And there we go...

We had our last race of the season yesterday :( it was in VA, it was cold, but we definitely had fun ;)
so we left here at 5 on saturday, took off at 7, got to DC around 9 ish, long drive through DC VA traffic, arrived at the race course (charlottsville, UVA) around 3. it was cold!!! all we wear to row are these little spandex outfits... cold!!! so we rigged our boats and rowed for a little bit then time to head to the hotel... but our bus driver got us lost :( once we got there, quick shower then back in the bus to go to dinner. we got lost going to dinner:( crazy lost, over and over again... she was a really bad driver. then she got us stuck in a parking lot... this was actually best part of the weekend... she would creep up and back over and over again getting nowhere, almost hitting these cars over and over again for like 35 minutes and we were starving. our coach wasnt with us so she left myself and anna in charge. so anna's outside the bus trying to help her get around the cars, I'm inside trying not to let 15 girls charge out of the bus to go walk somewhere in the cold and get lost. then finally we just had onel ittle car in the way, just one... a little toyota camry. so i was like, ok guys lets go move it... and they actually followed me out of the bus, and everyone ran right for the car, got hands on and before i knew it, we were moving this car. first up to the curb, 2 men approached us, i thought we we gonna be in trouble, they were asking if we needed help... so then we got it up on the curb... the bus pulled out, we put it back... generally where we got it from, off the curb at least and we were off. again drove another 20 minutes, finally found a little shoppinhg center with a few little take out places... we grabbed something to eat (i got a sub) then a little shoppign around the plaza... we needed to be out for a bit after the little bus fiasco... then back to the bus, and what do you know, our hotel was 2 minutes away.... stupid driver
then the racing on sunday was good, we raced a bunch of "good schools" so good competition and stuff... but froze, it was soo cold. then loaded up the trailer, and back on the bus, from their to the plane then back here in miami by 10:45... SLEEP
unfortunatly, i was suppossed to write a paper all weekend, actually all semester... its due tomorrow at 3... but i just started it about 2 hours ago :( woops, i gotta get back to that now... but that was my moving a car story...
