Go USA!!

I have never realized how much it truly stinks to be sick; I am always NOT sick so when I am, I am kind of caught off guard. Right now, I'm sitting on my couch, watching the opening ceremony for the Olympics - and I have to be laying down because my nose is dripping... yes dripping continuously. And this drippiness makes me sneeze so hard that it hurts... and flings my head forward as thought I was on some type of rollercoaster loop! I'm praying that this will be a quick thing and that I'll be healed so that I can enjoy the beautiful weather that we had today!

Today, I went to a "brown bag" lunch meeting offered to all Architecture students - it was all about Greensburg, Kansas and the rebuilding efforts. Hearing the residents and watching the footage, it humbles me. I complain about Valentines Day and having a runny nose and these people lost their town. I grew in a very similar type of community and I simply can't imagine having this happen; so much of my heart and who I am is grounded in my little town! I love it! And I can't really explain it to people because my town was special. They went to all of our games and activities, everyone wants to help and is excited to see young people succeed and even more excited for when they come back home and share their success with Sublette! There are 3 more video series that we can watch on Greensburg and I am hoping that I will make them all!

I love cooking, being creative, or just tossing ideas around in my head! So if there is ever an opportunity for me to make something for someone else, I JUMP on it! I have started cutting out and sewing mens' ties. Ideally - they would be Valentines Day gifts, but this may not get finished in time. Either way, it should be fun! I've never made a tie, so wish me luck! I know it doesn't seem hard, but its harder than you would think! If i mess up or don't sew straight, it is pretty obvious!

Another thing that is really obvious to me is that I am slightly out of shape -- but that I truly LOVE being pushed physically; I love feeling tired and a little soar. In my intramural basketball games, I have been reminded of how much I truly love the game! I miss it and hate that girls don't just go up to the rec. to play like boys do! Why is that?? I guess boys just are more willing to play with complete strangers, and girls aren't!

Well my sneezing is starting to act up again... so I better go -- but GO USA!! Win those "Vinter" Olympics!
