ah i can't believe i didn't put this in yesterday's post! ok. so we got to our hotel yesterday and wow. it's....not very nice. when we got in, i went to the bathroom then tried to wash my hands. but when i turned the knob for the sink, all i heard was a "woosh"-ey noise. so i tried the bathtub. same dilemma. hahaha seriously best western? no water? laura and i just died laughing. then, when the water came back on like 10 min later (following a noise that sounded something like a dinosaur in labor) we both ran to the sink and were like "quick! wash your hands before it's gone again!!" it was like in land before time when their river ran dry! scary!
we got to the fields early and started painting all of the lines. it took the better part of the day away. 1. when we got there, the sprinklers were on, and 2. the grass was wayyyy to long to play on so we had to call some guy to mow it. neither was a huge setback though cause they turned off the sprinklers for us and also cause the lawn mower guy showed up faster than a jimmy john's delivery guy to mow the fields for us. AND he showed up with the biggest lawn mower i have ever seen. that thing could mow my backyard in one sweep.
after we painted lines (and got sticky paint all over our hands and legs) we had to go to kinko's to print off the schedules and field maps. um....nothing cool happened there. however, it was very frigid inside. to pass the time at kinko's, we looked up all of the synonyms for "frigid"
boy, we know how to have a good time!
then we went to sports authority for team check-in. that was lame as well. we had to wear khakis, which was awful to begin with. there were parents there who volunteered to help us and....that was great..until like 13 of them showed up to help. i didn't even see a few of them because they didn't do anything but chat with each other. it was like the real housewives of salt lake city. oy.
we also had some parents come in who were unhappy with their team's schedule and they expected us to magically create a new one. that doesn't just happen. yet, we've been working really hard to make it happen. so.....i'll let everyone know how that goes. [no i won't. i wasn't born yesterday - i know that that's not very interesting to read about.]
then dinner before another walmart/target run.
our event director, jim, is pretty cool. he secretly loves having a female road crew to work with. we're so....competent. =]
laura and i did a 1030 pm workout too. we did sprints. my legs don't generally do that. ow.
also, i got to talk to my momma on the phone tonight for the first time since i left. hi mom =]
last but not least: here's a shout-out to carol's work friends. i hear yall have been reading me and laura's blog. i'll have to tell miguel what you guys are REALLY doing at work.
just kidding. ;] maybe.
