This has been a good week, nothing special, but good. I'm getting to the point in my catching up around here that I really need to start thinking about the garage -- going through all the junk to figure out what we want and what we don't. I wish I could blink and have it done.

With all of the financial problems in the world I'm thinking about going back to work more and more -- just as soon as I get that garage done. :-)

Chris sure has some terrific perks with his job. It seems that every week there are opportunities to win tickets for some event. This week it was the "2008 Tour of Gymnastics Superstars." I told Kellie if he won and didn't want to go I'd be happy to go with her. Well, he won and Chris did not want to go. Kellie called and asked if I would mind if she asked Katie to go with her instead of me. I held back my tears (sniff, sniff) and said of course I wouldn't mind. It always made my mom happy (and it still does) to see me do things with my sisters. I know what she means. I wasn't able to go along, but they had fun texting me and telling me what a great show I was missing. Katie said they were so close (2nd row) she could tackle Shawn Johnson (she controlled herself). She also appreciated it when the guys took off their shirts (hmmm, wonder why?). Kellie said the girls were bigger than they expected and the guys were smaller. They both could have done without the lip-synching Disney singers. They had a great time and I'm happy they got to be together.

Now, you would think a child of mine would certainly have a camera for such an exciting show, wouldn't you? NO! Neither of them had a camera except for their cell phones. Here are a couple video clips courtesy of Kellie's cell phone.

They said the girls were very professional and conservative but the guys were wild and crazy. They didn't hold back and did some amazing performances. At one time there were three guys on the pommel horse at the same time!

So while they spent the night with Shawn Johnson, Nastia Luikin, Alecia Sacramonie, Shannon Miller and the entire men's Olympic gymnastics team (including the Hamm twins), I was home waiting for text updates and proud that my girls were having such a good time together.
