star struck

after an uneventful sleepover with Lunde in our new and spacious living room, we awoke and headed to the OTC for breakfast. the food here is so delicious..and nutritious! an egg white omelette (stuffed with peppers, mushrooms & soy chorizo), yogurt with granola, sausage and iced tea was my meal of choice. not having to prepare meals, cook or wash dishes will make this healthy nutrition thing that much easier for me. i'm generally decent with good eats, but this is definitely a step up.

i was in awh as we walked around the campus. just imagining olympic athletes in this location was making me all excited :) before i even saw any athletes i was practically jumping out of my skin with joy! once i did see a few athletes i realized one thing..olympians are huge!! everyone is so tall! ok, not everyone, but the proportion of tall people to not-as-tall-people is very different from regular life. so crazy. i think i stared a bit too much today, but come on--THEY'RE OLYMPIANS! i did not allow myself to take creepy pictures of these athletes, but i make no promises for the future.

we hung around the OTC and played on the computer for awhile then went off to home depot in search of a quick makeshift wall. after being passed around a few times, we were told that plywood would be the cheapest and simplest fix for a temporary wall. Lunde is pretty enthused to make this wall. i am quite confused as to how it will be done.

we headed back to the OTC for lunch then watched the men's 7s team practice. it was really amazing to see them in action! we met some of the players, as well as the strength and conditioning coach, dave williams, who will be working with both the men and women.

a brief period of relaxation came when we arrived back at the house. i sat out on the balcony taking in some rays. back to the OTC for dinner and internet usage. dowty comes in from her cross-country drive tonight. we're also getting beds in the house-thanks to usa rugby!

looking forward to lighting our fireplace tonight!! ..that's right boo..a fireplace :)
