Jimmie Johnson won yesterday. I wish I could have seen it. Instead I went to a brunch for the temple workers in our ward hosted by the co-chairs of the Temple Committee at the Tramp house. That's short for Trampoline House. It's one of those houses that a ridiculous number of guys live in and there is hardly any furniture except for a giant trampoline in the foyer, a Viagra clock and a stuffed (and by stuffed I'm talking taxidermy not toy) jackalope on the table where our food was laid out.
Friday night, Shotzy and I went to our ward variety show. Some of the acts were good and some were painful. I went with the goal of meeting some new people, but it was so warm in there, I couldn't get in the right frame of mind while hot and sticky. So we left. But only after I battled it out with the Bishop for the last bottled water. We got home where Shotzy popped in her new cd of Queen's Greatest Hits, a purchase inspired by the "I Want to Break Free" C2 Commercial. After we listened a couple of times, we got online and watched the commercial and then wanted to breakdance like they do in it. "How hard can it be?" we asked. We found out we were not strong enough to move our legs while standing on our hands. I actually can't even stand on my hands. We both tried to stand on our heads instead(we had to lift each other's legs up) and after about 2 seconds we were both crying, "I've got to come down. I've got to come down." Then Shotzy curled up in a ball on her back with her legs crossed in the air while I spun her around. We both tried the move where you have one leg outstretched and spin it around while jumping over it. Yeah, that didn't work either. What we need is an instructional video. I'll check online today.
In other good news, we won our basketball game on Saturday! Okay so it wasn't an "official" game and the other team only had 2 players show up...so we just split our team and had a scrimmage, but the team I was on did win so that was fun after our humiliating loss last week. And we had some nice guys from the ward who volunteered to show up at 9am to ref, one of whom used a whistle pop for a whistle. I came away with 8 points, 0 fouls (I think his whistle pop must not have been working very well), 1 cut on my left wrist, and 1 large bruise on my right arm. And speaking of basketball, March Madness is here! I'm excited to make my picks today and send them in to the annual pool.

Congrats on the basketball win! And sorry you had to attend a ward talent thing...I've got one coming up this week, and it is always a risky proposition. For my "talent" I'm displaying a "before" and "after" picture of my boys' haircuts I gave them last weekend. I'm scrapin' the bottom of the talent "barrel".
I call March Madness March Sadness because all of my favorite shows are pre-empted for people like you who enjoy watching sports on tv. I'm all over live-action sports, but as far as I'm concerned TV was made for reality shows and ER. :)
That break dance move where you jump over your leg is called the "coffee grinder." Thought you ought to know.
Macry, I am going to dig around in my "treasure chest" from my youth, I may have a break dance video in it for you. Of course with my short attention spam, I think I mad it through it once. Which surprises me that I actually have continued doing my Yoga DVD 3-4 times a week!
I have a short attention to spam also. I hate the stuff. Never touch it. But Mike's mom likes to fry it up with a little brown sugar sauce, so I must be missing something.
the coffee grinder..Excellent.
Cameron, I hope you are serious about the breakdancing video. Because I am.
Did you use a big piece of cardboard to spin on? that could be your problem... carrie
On the Greatest Hits CD did they include a song called "Mr. Farenheit" or is it called "Don't Stop Me Now"? I sang that song for 4 months straight on my mission. It can still get me into a really good mood...
Thanks to you...I just downloaded it and am singing it out for all the world to hear...
