swimming, and fundraising!

We had another swim practice tonight. I was excited cause we did less drills than last time, and more of a main set. I had Cathy (coach) watch me do a length, and she said my legs look pretty good! Last year the main thing I worked on was keeping my legs up, ie my body parallel to the water. Now I need to start working on my hands entry to the water. Woohoo.
Also, our lane finished like 15 minutes too early, which means we are super speedy fast. Like speedy gonzales. So we are going to do the medium workout next time, instead of the slow lane workouts. Its pretty exciting.

Fundraising news:
First off, I am currently just under $100 ahead of my mom in fundraising. Help me stay ahead of her! (No, I'm not competitive at all....) Last year I almost caught up at one point, but she stayed ahead of me the whole time. Hmph! (click HERE for link).

Also, who knew that bakesales where hard to organize? We were going to do one this weekend, as an additional fun fundraiser. Well, Safeway won't let you use their storefront due to a past lawsuit. Fred meyer will. But not in the month of December (??). Costco won't. Trader Joes wont. Ugh. We'll see if I have better luck calling around tomorrow. I had sort of thought they were easy to arrange... and common.

And finally, thanks to linda and andrea for posting comments! They make me feel special. and loved.
