6 Insignificant things About Myself...

Haley tagged me in her blog to write 6 insignificant things about myself. I don't usually do these cuz i can never think of things but i'm going to really really try! So here goes...

1. Before i go on any trip i have to lay out everything that i want to take and then take at least one thing out of every pile. (that way i don't over pack because i know i won't wear everything i take)

2. Last Friday was the first time that I have ever actually hurt my arm and hand doing Skeleton. I always felt bad for people that have hit their hands sliding but now i really know how is feels and it is not so good!!

3. Every time i crash doing Skeleton i buy myself something to help make me feel better. I still have to buy something from my crash on Friday...but i'm still taking ideas... My first crash about 4 years ago i bought a bag. When i crashed in Altenberg i went to Dresden and bought a whole outfit! So my idea it that i don't really want to buy things for this particular reason so hopefully i don't crash very often...

4. I organize my closet by the length of things. (shirt sleeve length, skirts, pants, and jackets)

5. I get bored with my hair. So i change it quite often! I have not dyed my hair since March and that has been the longest time i have gone without doing anything in about 3 years.

6. When my watch battery dies for some reason i like to just buy a new one instead... therefore i have a lot of watches because i always like to change things.

Ok so that is that. I would 'tag' people to do this but the only people who read my blog are Haley, Steph, and my Mom and they have already done this...

Tis the Season

The season officially started yesterday, and wow it is bitter-sweet to be back.... I got to Lake Placid on Saturday after a long day of traveling and 3 planes. Sunday was a nice day off to just get ready and prepare for Monday. Kimber and i had breakfast with Kim in the morning, which was so nice to see her and catch up again! It is nice to have some home when i am here training. She is such a great friend that i miss so much everytime i leave here!!!

Today was our 2nd day of training and so far everything is going alright. I only have a few bumps and bruises so far (but it's still early) which is nice. My neck today got a little sore and tomorrow i'm sure is going to be worse! The game we play for team trials is so interesting every year. It's fun to have the whole team together every October, remember fun stories from years past, and just have fun at the track no matter the weather cuz that changes at a moments notice! This year has been good just spending time training in Chula and then having a few weeks home before coming out here. I didn't want to get too stressed before i even got here and successfully think i did that! Even now i'm just having fun and not over thinking things so far (hopefully i can continue that trend). We only have a total of 8 sliding days and then we race so it is good and bad. Good in that i don't have too much time to over think things, and bad in the same way that i don't have as much time to test things... Time is just flying here, and now i'm off the the gym to pump some iron HAHA
