It's been a while

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy.

Eik graced us Minnesotans with her countenance last weekend. We went to the Barnes & Noble in the old Chateau Theatre, ate some good food, went to Wisconsin (and bought clocks! and beer).

Oh, and played Rock Band. A lot. Like it played the same two songs every set list alot ("Roxanne" followed by "Buddy Holly"). Like 4am a lot.

Good times.

Then curling started at Dakota County Curling Club on Sunday. I was very nervous. I haven't curled since last July when the instructional league ended. Practice was rough. I couldn't find my balance, my throws were all over the place, I couldn't hit the broom. Yuck. Then we decided who played what position and I was nomitated skip (the captain). The skip directs the other members of the team and throws last to (hopefully) score more points or prevent the other team from scoring. Anxiety abounded.

Then the game started. Let's just say I found my groove. We scored a five point end(!!) and after seven ends we won 11-4. I think it was 11-4, I only remember our eleven points. :-).

Unfortunately I'm sore as hell from using those forgotten muscles. I forgot how much hard work sweeping is. But it's worth it. Thirteen days until our next match!
