Kalaharie & Curling


So I survived the Kalaharie water park mini-vacation.  It was wonderful!  Three days of all the people I love the most, gigantic water slides, sleeping in, tons and tons of food, a giant hot-tub with a swim-up bar, nonstop euchre…..please…..how much fun can one person have?  Seriously, it was a really nice time.  When we first arrived it was crazy busy and I was a bit nervous.  I am NOT a fan of waiting 30-60 minutes to get on a ride.  It’s not really worth it to me.  Turns out Canadian schools were on spring break.  They assured us the next day wouldn’t be as busy and it wasn’t.  Whew.  When I got home Tuesday night I was EXHAUSTED.  Keeping up with kids at a water park during the day, and then my brother (the energizer bunny) at night….well, that just wipes a person out.  Then post-vacation depression set in.  I always feel sad after vacation, I realize that’s pretty common, but it just seems to suck to have to get back to the norm.  And my norm is actually pretty great, it just for some reason is a hard transition.  So, I decided I needed to have something in the works to look forward to.  So, after a little research, and a little inspiration from the Olympics, I am going curling Monday night!!!  Frosting and I love curling (watched a lot from that giant hot tub) - and I figured there had to be somewhere in the Indianapolis area where they had curling, and sure enough, Indianapolis has a curling club.  And due to the Olympics, they are having all these extra open house/beginner clinics because everyone is fascinated with it and wants to give it a try.  I am so excited I can hardly wait!  It’s a 2 1/2 hour class, they teach you the basics and then you get to play.  Look out Canada, here I come!

On a completely separate note, I saw a brilliant movie tonight - A Single Man.  It was truly beautiful.
