sorry that i didn't post yesterday. i only had about an hour from the time i got home from work to the time i went to bed before the swim meet, and in that time i had to finish packing for said meet, fold a basket of clean laundry, and finish my powerade so that i could sleep. not a normal thing necessary for sleep, i know, but my legs were cramping rather badly. my electrolyte balance was way off...all i'd had before that was a piece of cheese pizza and some chai tea, and the vending machine didn't have gatorade.
yesterday was...hectic, and lots of fun. it kept me from thinking too much. :P after band, we went to huor's house for all of 25 minutes or so, then left again once finwe got there to go to the carsons' house. once we got there, we spent the next 4 hours or so playing nerts until our brains were oozing out our ears. (almost literally...i am rather loud ;).) i then loaded up everyone except the host and one other person into our 12 passenger van (affectionately called THE BUS) and took the KOs to the YMCA, huor and his two brothers to their house, and my sister, finwe, and myself back to my house. from there, i grabbed my stuff for work and took finwe back home on my way to work. came home from work, finished swigging my powerade, folded my laundry, packed my final things, and was asleep by 10:30....
then woke up at 5:30 this morning. WHAT IS WITH THAT??? i have a difficult time getting decent sleep before anything important, including but not limited to: chemistry finals, swim meets, tests in general, and anything that needs my brain to be at least 50% functional. :P so i stretched for 45 minutes, grabbed my bags, and left the house by 7:30 to be at warmups by 7:55. *sigh* all told, i dropped about 3.5 seconds...here's the breakdown:
50 yd freestyle (front crawl) - dropped 2.5 seconds
100 yd backstroke (back crawl) - dropped 1 second (i think...)
100 yd breaststroke (looks like a frog) - stagnated :P didn't drop time or gain time
final breakdown shall come after practice on tuesday when we get ribbons (which have our times on them). finwe showed up about 9 (i think....i was in the middle of a game of nerts at the time...wasn't payin' too much attention to the time...nerts does that to you ;), so we ended up playing munchkin for most of the swim meet.
a video tribute shall come soon...as soon as i find the recording i'm looking for. :P

Hi, I found your blog post through a search for "Nerts". It is cool to see others that know about the game. I hope you don't mind but I wanted to let you know about playnertz.com, the site for the National Nertz Association. There is a bunch of interesting Nertz information there. I hope you will check it out. Feel free to join and also let your friends and family know. Thanks
