day 1

in the books.

and i'm exhausted.

we headed to the lake this morning at 9:30. we moved all the boats down by the lake and then started rigging. we got onto the water around 11ish and practiced for about two hours. it was so great to be back out on the water. it isn't a huge lake (because it is actually a river that they dammed on both sides and called it a lake) and there are a lot of bridges, but all the passes through are pretty wide (minus one that has two sort of islands on one side). it really was so much more fun than sitting around watching the girls erg.

after practice, we went to go get lunch (something called whataburger...a texas thing, i think...i wasn't a huge fan). once we got back to the hotel, we had the whole afternoon to relax. i watched bits and pieces of the italian job while i was drifting in and out of being sort of asleep.

i'm totally preoccupied right now because we're watching law and order.

me, colie, lisa, and kate went to dinner at chili's and then we did some speed shopping at albertsons for lunch food for the week.

and i'm starting to get tired, so as soon as this episode is over, i'm going to go and take my sleeping pills and go to bed.

best moment of the night: kristi freaked out because she thought her computer was getting much hotter than usual...then she realized she had a heating pad between her and the computer. it was great. had to be here...
