I haven't been in my usual blogging mood lately and I'm not sure why. I don't want to disapoint the loyal readers but I also don't want my blogs to be SO BORING. Anyway, As most everyone knows me, Reens and Cynths went to the VISA American Cup yesterday at the Patriot Center thanks to Reens' job! Yay! It was so much fun and we were like a bunch of kids there, so excited and running around. The second we got there Rena's co-worker Brian with the big red shoes told us to get in line to get Dominique Dawes' autograph! And we did! So cool, We kept joking in line that we'd ask her questions like, "Were you mad Kerri Strugg got all of that attention?" "So I'm 23 and 5'9", do I have a chance at being a gymnast?" "Do you know Shannon Miller??" But we got rushed thru the line bc I think Dominique was getting tired but I scanned the autographed picture and I'll post it if I can ever figure out how. The competition actually started at 2:30, unlike the "live" version on NBC. We were right in front of where they race by for the vault and also in front of the floor and by the balance beam. As usual, the three of us made our funny comments about everything and the group of 12 year old girls in front of us kept looking around at us and smiling, but not in that "Oh haha" way, more like "Oh they know nothing about gymnastics, how cute" way. Hmm...Too bad I've been watching gymnastics longer than they've been alive! Oy, scary thought. One thing we quickly noticed was how many 7-12 year old girls there were! I mean, it's obviously expected but the part I thought was funny was they all had their hair up in ponytails and buns like the "real" gymnasts" do...haha. My favorite part was holding up the "10" sign VISA was so kind ot provide. But I had a thought: They rarely get 10s nowadays so it would be better to hand out "9.8" and "9.5" signs, you know, something more attainable. Rena had the funniest idea about the guy who ended up with the "8.5" sign and he'd have to be the one to hold it up when someone messed up. Haha! But yeah, the day was awesome! I hope we get to do it again sometime...Worlds in Anaheim????? I'm so there.
