just another tuesday night

how about those storms yesterday afternoon?? i knew the thunder was bad when i could hear it from inside my office. i couldn't see the lightening, but i heard it was a spectacle. but, luckily all the stormy weather had moved on by the time i headed home. and with the sun shining again it made for a perfect night to go for swim.

wow this hot weather has really heated up the pool! on sunday the water was still rather refreshing, but last night it was already about ten degrees warmer and on the verge of feeling like a bathtub. although, i'm sure swimming hard for an hour-ish didn't help at all.

there's another dilemma i face when swimming at DL. i'm used to swimming in 12 feet deep water, however DL is a mere three feet deep at the shallow end. i guess i must have forgotten that when i pushed off and scraped my whole body against the bottom of the (hollow) pool. oops.

while at the pool last night i also got to watch our dive team whoop up on the other team. and no, i don't even know who the other team was. but, i do know there were a lot of bingos! and let's be honest, that's about the most exciting part of a dive meet.

and the best part of the whole night? clearly it was going to nielsen's! i'd say a custardwich is about the best way to end the night. well, that and a little world series of pop culture!

[note: don't get the key lime flavored custard. as a woman was walking out the door of nielsen's last night someone asked her how it was and she responded with, "it tastes like bathroom cleaner." at first i was thinking - who says something like that?! but, then when they came through the (long) line w/ free samples of the daily flavors i got to try it for myself. and i do have to say her observation was spot on. it had a strong aftertaste of cleaning product. ewwwwww.]
