curling!!

[lillian_peterson]

saturday was just....awesome. yay! dira, strangecobwebs, a michiganian visitor and i went to the potomac curling club's open house. and despite by crazily bruised left knee, it was all sorts of fun. including the overly solicitous old gent who felt the need to escort me up and down the ice. it was sweet really. and i did manage to get a stone into the blue circle. yay!! but i thought i might have a heart attack from sweeping...and we only did that once!! and of course my curling delivery has been documented in photographic form. one pic looks all nice and stuff...the other....hello klutz, meet the ice! since the michiganian visitor and i were the only ones cool enough to participate, the rest of our posse had a bit of a time laughing at our shenanigans. AND i made ugly, ugly halloween brownies. they taste fabulous (as tested this morning by ME) but my decorating skills are clearly sub-par. ah well. maybe next time. i must go hide myself in the library so i don't fail out of grad school but hopefully there will still be time to catch the caps game later! if i am a REALLY good girl, maybe i can convince strangecobwebs to go to the game rather than watch it on tv. one can only hope!
