High School

Do you think you have changed since high school?  How so?

As I've been reconnecting with old friends I have had this thought.  If they have changed and how?  I would like to think I've changed, and I know I have in some respects, but I don't think I've changed as much as I thought I would by now.  I have become more reserved.  I got married so that changed the whole flirting and boy crazy thing.  The funny thing is I feel more secure being married, and at the same time I still have the same insecurities that I did then.  Having 3 kids has totally changed my body and I am trying to come to grips with that and realize that bodies change and it's a process and I have to be patient, but I'm as insecure with my body now as I was back in high school.  How sad.  I used to never get sick on rides at amusement parks, but now it's all I can do to keep my stomach on a lot of them.  On the positive side, I think I'm a better friend now than I used to be.  I'm not as crazy of a roller coaster, and I definitely appreciate my parents more.  Hmmm....I would like to know any of your thoughts.  Have you changed and how?

Losing

As I've watched the Olympic games, especially the swimming, I've been thinking about losing. Am I alone in thinking I would rather lose big than by a little? Losing a gold medal by .01 second has to be completely annoying. I've lost by one point before and it ticked me off so bad! I can only imagine on that level. All the woulda-shoulda-couldas come out.

Olympic Fever

Oh my goodness! Watching the mens relay final was AMAZING!!!! We were yelling and screaming and totally jumped in the air when Lezak (sp?) came back and totally slammed the wall .08 seconds before the French. Hello! Unbelievable! I love the Olympics. :)

Bizarre news - we heard Bernie Mac died today, and the delicate arch in Utah fell. Just a random side note.
