Destinos!!!

I have had this almost 2 decade long (since 6th grade!!!) effort underway to learn Spanish. It comes in waves - the last several years have been a bit more focused though - if they would only quit canceling the Front Range classes that i want to take!

However - today I found one of my favorite learning tools - Destinos - for free online!! Woohooo!!! This is a cheesy Spanish soap-opera type video.

Feel free to learn Spanish too: http://teachinglearningspanish.blogspot.com/2008/06/destinos-introduction-to-spanish.html

Do your ears hang low?

Have you guys seen the new Dove Commercial - the "do your ears hang low" one? It's great! All about goofy body idiosyncrasies - I love it! I tried to find a video to link to but couldn't find it online at all.

This commercial makes me stop in my tracks and watch it whenever I hear that music.

"Does your hair make you giggle?" That's my favorite part.

I think I'm going to stock up on Dove body wash and lotion.

That's it

Duathlon!

I randomly decided yesterday to participate in the duathlon that I was supposed to be volunteering (is it considered volunteering when you are kind of forced to help?) for today.

I was a beautiful day for racing! I just did the mini-"duwop" - 1/2 mile run, 6.5 mile bike, 2 mile run. Very short, but that's what i needed since I didn't do one lick of triathlon/duathlon training this year. But, the exciting part for me was that I did much better than I thought I was going to - and almost even placed in my age group! (Okay, there were only 6 of us in my age group, but I came in 4th - so that's almost placing :-). ) The great thing about this race is that it was all women - and all abilities, so you really were just out there to exercise and compete against yourself. I had never participated in all women's tri's or du's before (though volunteered at several), I'm officially a fan now. Perhaps I'll sign up to actually do one of the all women's triathlons next year.

I'm exhausted though - and sun burned again - dang it.

Oh - and all you Broncos nay sayers out there - we're still undefeated!!! WOOHOO!!! Take that Shannon Sharpe - we induct you one week and you pick the Raiders against us the next week?

Love my Broncs!

I'M ROCKIES PLAYOFF BOUND!!!


I couldn't make my first post that I actually send to people a bit of a downer post!

I GOT ROCKIES PLAYOFF TICKETS TODAY!!! No one in my family was lucky enough to get chosen for the first attempt at playoff ticket sales - but then both my mom and dad got chosen for the next attempt at it. Being the computer-illiterate mother that my mom is, I just used her code and bought them myself! I'm very excited!

Above is a pic of the last time we were in the playoffs (the world series to be exact), we would like to be able to recreate this - but with a win during the World Series. Now they just have to make it to the first round for this to even matter!
