On Saturday night, we were invited to Michelle and Nathan's house for a house re-warming/birthday party that was a Grandpa/Grandma theme. It was awesome to see everyone's outfits because everyone got into the theme of it. Crazily enough, Michelle's outfit was so good she actually didn't look like she was wearing a costume at all. I can see her looking like that as an old teacher one day! (Just kidding Biggs!)
Bryce and I, looking ahead to the Year 2043:
So Bryce and I went to the Salvation Army and got some "cool" nana duds. Bryce got a plaid engineers hat and plaid suit jacket. I bought a turquoise blue 2 piece suit, with lapels and shoulder pads. The skirt was a size too small. It's amazing how after a glass of wine, wearing a skirt that is only partially zipped up isn't such a big deal.
Enjoy the pics. It was such a fun night!
John and I, "In my day, we didn't have schoooool buses, or cars! We had to walk to school, uphill both ways. That's the way it was, and we liked it!"
Grandma Kim Kelly - but in the car with my cellphone camera - not a good mix
THE BAHAMA CRESCENT REST HOME - not everyone that was at the party, but a good overview of what it looked like with all of us as old fogies
Michelle Biggs - aka, the best costume for real life resemblance... to an old teacher
Clare - enjoying the old woman bra, with old woman breasts
Clare with me, enjoying the comfort of her old woman breasts
Clare - getting her old groove on (before she busted her hip, that is)
Don't mess with the geriatric crew. We'll waste you.
Kim, John and Bryce
On another note, I have truly enjoyed watching the Olympics. B and I have been glued to the TV every night, and on most occasions been caught yelling and cheering on the athletes from our lounge. I think that having so much sport on TV is just fabulous and wish it came around more than every 4 years. Quite sceptical about the Jamaican success in the track events though. Can't help it. I am putting money on them being "juiced". Mind you, I would rather find out they had some amazing unusual training regime instead, which made them stand out so far amongst the rest of their competitors.
Super impressed with all the sports, especially Synchronised Diving, Gymnastics (every event) and the 10km swimming marathon. Who swims for 2 hours? Like, seriously? What is up with that?
Volleyball is still by far the greatest event at the games, but I must admit, I am thrilled to be watching any sport when you know you are seeing the best people in the world competing at that event. It doesn't get much better. Except when they are on the trampoline....and they fall. And only because I have been yelling, "fall, fall, fall" at the screen. That is always better than any gold medal.

HAHAHA did any of them actually fall? Damn, thats gotta hurt. I remember someone at NHS falling when on the trampoline, and getting a compound fracture of the arm. Thats gross to see, trust me.
RE: Grandma stuff: You being a grandma would require children, so I assume you ARE planning on having some?
hahaha!! FALL FALL FALL! Laurelle now yells it as well. loving the olympics --but hard with the time difference. Interesting about the runners I know--but it seems that all the good runners are staying in the jamaica now and not leaving.The dude who anchored the relay trains on a dirt track! Was reading in the paper last week--when Ben Johnson got nailed there were only 2 or 3 runners in that race that never got caught using but were at the time-they have to keep the samples and with the new technology they have now for screening they discovered this. johnson just crashed and burned as his was so obvious i guess. and there is a little tidbit for you! duh.
