In a past post talked about my interest in non-fiction adventure mysteries. Well, there was a story on the Backpacker magazine blog that caught my attention. There is controversy over who summited Mt.Everest first. Mallory or Hilary? Hilary gets the credit because he made it home to tell the story. However, Mallory died somewhere near [...]
I have not posted for awhile so I thought I would do a quick update of what is going on. Soccer has been over for a month or so and I have started hiking with people from my neighborhood one night every other week and I absolutely love it. In the winter they are hoping [...]
IÂ just learned that I’m playing outdoor soccer again. I’m so excited!!!!!!!!!! I took a year hiatus to have the baby. It shouldn’t be a problem that I haven’t ran for a year and have absolutely no stomach muscles.Okay it will. The games start a week from this Saturday. Hopefully I can get at least [...]

This past weekend I played 4 soccer games in 24 hours for our end of the season tournament. It was double elimination and we had lost one game already. We played one Friday night and won in a shootout. We played again the next morning at 10:00am we won that one so we had another [...]
I’ve started playing tennis lately and have really enjoyed it, despite not owning a little skirt. (I do however drink bottled water and find it to be very refreshing.)
Anyway, I saw this video of a famous tennis player (Novak Djokovic) who makes fun of other players by impersonating them. It’s pretty funny, even if [...]
