Yesterday Corin and Torrie invited me over for dinner. It was great and really tasty, except for one thing. Green beans! (sorry for not telling you guys!) I should have warned them ahead of time to my preference of not eating anything that was grown from the ground. But they were on my plate, and they went to all the effort of cooking me dinner, so I chowed down. Truthfully, the green beans weren't that bad. By eating a proportionate amount of pasta with the beans, I hardly tasted them. I'm quite proud that I finished all but 1 and a half green beans. My father would be proud!
Afterwards, we talked a lot, about Dave and the wedding, and how they met, and of course, about short track. Which they know A LOT about. It's nice to talk to people who know a lot about the sport, who don't necessarily have one favorite skater, but who can see the full picture. And I also got to see their pics from Bormio, which there were A LOT of. It was a really good time. I'll definitely look them up again next time I'm in Denver.
At the airport, I got randomly picked for the super security. This is where you have to take off your shoes and they use the metal detector all over your body, and every time it beeps, they have to check out the area. It's THIS close to an anal probe, I swear! Anyway, there were two guys that were going through my bag, and they went through every inch of it. I was talking to the lady who was doing the metal detector, and she was really nice. Then one of the guys that was checking out my bags says 'Are you getting married?' and I say 'Yeah, you saw my Bride's magazine, eh?' And he says 'Yeah, congratulations!' And since everyone heard, all of the security people are congratulating me on my wedding, telling me stories, asking me questions, etc. It was kind of a weird experience, me standing there, with my arms away from my body, in my socks, talking about my wedding to complete strangers. So anyway, I'm done, and everyone is wishing me luck on my wedding. And I tell them, 'You guys are pretty swell!' Yes. I actually said that. How nerdy am I?

and love the new pictures! (heehee, thank god!)
when you are talking with a client on the phone, and you are going to meet them face-to-face soon, have you ever asked them to guess what you look like? i guess, they can probably guess you're Filipino or -not-white based on your last name, but with me, they always think i'm short and blonde. i don't know why. *giggle*

Wait, I've gone through the effort of making you dinner before, and you never eat MY veggies... I am somewhat insulted and hurt.

and short.
I'm sorry. You don't have pictures from Bormio. Maybe if you did, I would eat your green beans.
Go make me some cookies. It will make you feel better, Claudine.
