Brendan - Yay! I'm so glad that got there! Now please excuse me while I go off in a corner and squee for a while.

This? Has been a very good night.

hello everyone
I found time tonight to take a look at the website when i was suprised to see that my mother has put so many pictures on. She has come a long way with computers now that she can send pictures I am so proud. I will be in austin til saturday kinda hangin low here. Training in the morning and at night sleeping the rest of the time.

Thanks Steph! :hugs: But I decided to stop whinning and go see someone that is worst than me co I got tickets for Bridget Jones II.
Besides, I know you want to come to Argentina for Jose Meolans. And god knows I don't blame you. My dream? Montreal, 50m freestyle: Hoogie, Meolans, Gary and Jason. And Jose winning.
A girl can dream, right?

2004-12-13T09:14:00.000-06:00

Oooh, warm memories of fishing in the Poconos ... we used to spend a week of every summer at Big Bass Lake - hiking/fishing/whatever ... they have the ugliest fat little brown fish in that lake. :) Fishing is a fantastic sport, I have zero skill but as is always the way, the blond girl with no skill is the one who easily catches ten fish in a day (at least half sunnies), and the other guys

2004-12-13T09:03:00.000-06:00

Lena - I'll send you some virtual chicken soup. I'd take it to you in person, but I'm afraid I'd never come back from Argentina and I don't know if your parents would want to adopt me! =)

2004-12-13T08:36:00.000-06:00

Yeah, sorry about the germs. I don't seem to be able to kick this tonsilitis out of me. Truth to be told, no one came with chicken soup, but still.
I'm gonna try to figure out where the "República" (National Swimming Tournament) is going to be this January. If it's in BA, I'm so there...
God, it's been years...

2004-12-13T08:19:00.000-06:00

Aww..I was looking at Southern's schedule and they were up in Boston in November. I probably could have gone to the meet at Northeastern. Too bad they are in a different league than BU.

I think maybe I should find some friends to go to a swim meet at my alma mater. They have a beautiful pool, but I've never been to a meet. Do you think it's weird for a 20 something year old woman to

2004-12-13T07:49:00.000-06:00

I agree completely. I keep trying to make it up to the Y to watch the high school meets but life does get in the way most of the time. Some of the lifeguards are on the team so I try to always ask how they did and such. I think just showing interest makes them happy. I felt bad for some girls who were complaining how another school had posters up all down the halls for their meet. Our high

2004-12-13T01:55:00.000-06:00

Thanks for the advice on the Grammy gift Mrs. H! Haven't you figured it out yet? Swim-luvahs make a point to find out all places that there are swmmers in the water. All over the world. We know who is training and who is taking time off. Who has decided to go for Montreal and who has decided that they want to save themselves for Beijing. No, actually Michelle and I were talking as she said,

2004-12-13T00:19:00.000-06:00

Anonymous - My guess is he's pretty busy training and traveling, but even Olympic Champions gotta eat and buy groceries and stuff, so who knows.

Erin - Don't thank me, thank Mrs. H for sharing them with us. And there are more to come.

2004-12-12T23:51:00.000-06:00

thanks for the wonderful pictures, michelle! the first one is soo adorable...love the shorts. =D erin

2004-12-12T23:03:00.000-06:00

Awesome. I wonder if I could catch him around town or if he's pretty busy with training/traveling

Yes, he's still living and training in Austin.

2004-12-12T22:47:00.000-06:00

Yes, he's still living and training in Austin.

Does Brendan live in Austin still?

2004-12-12T22:45:00.000-06:00

2004-12-12T22:40:00.000-06:00

Well, I managed to actually buy presents for other people tonight. Got almost all the adults taken care of and now just have the fun part left...the kids!

Lena - Don't be silly, that's the sickness talking. Don't let it get you down chica!

Mrs. H - I think I probably mentioned the swim meet to lala. I was contemplating putting a link to the Southern Swim Meet schedule on

2004-12-12T19:28:00.000-06:00

I think those little "shorty-shorts" that Bren-Bear is wearing in the first picture are so cute! I guess he's always had great legs. I told my mom if I am ever famous for anything, she has to be as cool as Mrs. H....only she would have to keep the stories to herself (as my stories are very embarrassing!).

Oh and Mrs. H if you are reading this, you need to yell at your son for being so

Aeww Lena! I don't think you're bad luck!

Hope you feel better, hon!

2004-12-12T18:01:00.000-06:00

Actually Steph, I'm gonna let you get away with that one. I've been so sick for the past month and a half and people around me had gotten sick that I'm starting to think I'm bad luck.
So I'm backing out, people...

What's all this "shopping" people are speaking of?...

2004-12-12T17:54:00.000-06:00

What's all this "shopping" people are speaking of? Isn't that what you do on Amazon.com? Angie, that's what I'm talking about! We don't even really have much spontaniety in my family anymore because we all make lists on Amazon for each other. =)

Another great day of pics. Brendan could seriously be one of the cutest kids I've ever seen. And as for the last pic, I could imagine

2004-12-12T16:58:00.000-06:00

Hey,lala, how did you know Bren's sister, Megan, had a meet yesterday? Yes, she was happy with her swims on Saturday but was crying her eyes out on the phone with me on Friday. She has been sick and the two days before the meet began she could not keep anything down. She swam horrible on Friday and was ready to quit bc the girls that swam better were ones that party all the time. She was very

Michelle, you don't understand how much I needed this today. Thanks.

2004-12-12T15:29:00.000-06:00

I'm loving the baby pictures. Too, too cute.

What's all this "shopping" people are speaking of? Isn't that what you do on Amazon.com? *g* Funny thing - I was at the Mall of America yesterday and didn't shop at all!

2004-12-12T15:26:00.000-06:00

I kbow what you mean lala, I was very close to my greatgrandmother while little, and I loved her a lot. she used to love to have pur first communion stamps in her mirror, since she spent her last years in bed. I suggested music from her time b/c if she cannot look at pics then maybe that is a nice thing to give her. The songs she listened while she was young. I don't know... waht else can be?

2004-12-12T15:18:00.000-06:00

Did Brendan's sister have a meet yesterday? I hope she was happy with her swim if she did.. and if she didn't.. I don't know what made me think she did... hmm. Lena, thanks for the idea's for Gramma shopping. I have done just about everything audio that there is to do. I read scripture,(she preferes Charlton Heston's reading of the Bible to mine_ who knew?) I recorded the the story of some

2004-12-12T15:01:00.000-06:00

Michelle, still, he's doing it. That is luck over there.

I love the first pic. Reminds me of my pics as little, especially the type of outfits. And the whole fishing thing is really cute.
