Note to self...

This is a small moment from my life I thought I should quickly share. When you are in an email conversation and the other person pisses you off, don't write a response based on your emotional reaction. If you do write a "reactive" response however and decide it sounds too spiteful, make sure you delete the original bitchy response before you send the nicer version. I made the mistake of sending both to Jeff yesterday. I conveyed some strong emotions and his response was so kind. "I like the first draft better...more punchy". Thanks Jeff. You always know the right thing to say.

On a serious note...

At approximately 11 pm I sat in tears at my house and knew I had an important phone call to make. It is a phone call I've wanted to make for the last year, but haven't had the courage to do. I realized I actually had 8 minutes exactly before this opportunity would pass.

That's right folks. Infomercials are a love of mine and there are two that regularly bring tears to my eyes. The one that aired last night was for "Sheer Cover". Sheercover is a wonderful new make-up product I have been wanting to buy, but I have been waiting for my make-up to run out. I got to the part where the girl removes her Sheercover and you see her birthmark, she cries, I cry, and the number flashes up on the screen.

How did I know what color to get you may ask? Easy. Leeza Gibbons and I have similar coloring. I called the number and talked to "Derek" who also tried to get me to buy bronzer, but I didn't give in. Last night I woke up three times thinking "I need to call Sheercover back...I think I have lighter skin than Leeza". "Chad" assured me this morning that I could get another kit if the color is wrong.

Jeff begged to share about his weekend in Austin seeing David Gray, but I say give the people something that can help make their lives a little more wonderful. I think my life is about to change for the better. I have been holding back on "The Magic Bullet" blender set, but if anyone has one would you please let me know? I am so glad to be back from Torino so I can share about these wonderful products!

Back From Torino...

It's good to be back in the States! God Bless America. Although Olympic medal glory was not in the cards this year, we totally nailed the short performance. The long program was another story, however... We stuck the first double toe-loop double axle, and as you can see, I'm clearly anticipating the next triple lutz, double salchow pass while Sarah is busy posing for the camera.
How can I stay mad at her w/ Italy so romantic this time of year?

See you at Nationals and in Vancouver in 2010!


p.s. - Thanks to Sarah for her creativity and to her employer for not monitoring her computer usage.
p.s.s - Doesn't my ass look like two honey-baked hams wrapped in velvet?
