Bigspiel

Denis and I played in our first bonspiel (curling tournament) this weekend, the Big Spiel. It was awesome.

( Details here. )

Of course the best part of curling is the people. I'm really glad that we had such a good time despite the fact that none of our friends were there (we missed you all, get better soon). This is mostly due to flt who subbed for us all day Saturday (she played *four* games, 31 ends, most of them front-end). She is very helpful instructor and even more fabulous company. When we were getting tired and sore she helped keep everyone upbeat. Denis and I slept for almost 12 hours and we are doing okay this morning. I'm a little sore, but with stretching and maybe a walk or easy run I should be okay. Denis fell yesterday so he's pretty sore but unbruised. Yay curling, yay bonspiels! (If anyone is playing any more of them and wants a lead please let me know.)

Kiki!

Oh, in other news jade_phoenix (who provided my lovely mood icons) and coffman just sent me a super-cute Kiki beanie! (Scroll down, the last one on the page although there are also some pics with the bun-bun beanie.) It's cute, and fuzzy, and I can make it poing. Did I mention it was cute? I love presents, thank you :)
