My little men
So after endless hours of unsuccessfully trying to get my boys posed for a Christmas picture, I finally snapped a cute one of all three today just randomly. Granted, they weren't wearing coordinating outfits (we do live in the deep South, y'all, where standard dress for young boys is a smocked john-john, knee high socks, and white leather shoes) or even nice clothes, but they are all looking at the camera and smilling! I call that a success!!!

The Meathead Chihuahua
So in an attempt to perpetuate meaningless, yet comical blog entries, here's my next effort.
So for all you married folk out there be glad you are not in the dating scene because it's tough out here in my world. Somehow I've become a favorite target for setting up which I don't really mind because, hey, a girl's gotta eat, right? :) Well, some of you know that my doubles partner was trying to set me up with her trainer. The day I'm supposed to go out with him she tells me to go have a good meal because I probably won't be seeing him again...he's 38. She thought he was in his early 30's. So I go meet him for a late lunch despite her warnings. I had previously asked her if he was good looking (being the shallow person that I am), and she kept saying he was a good looking guy...kind of suspiciously. Well, let me describe him to you, and now I really will be shallow. He has a huge upper body where his arms can't lay flat on his side because he's a trainer. His hair is high and tight like a marine and there are a few scars on his head. I think he was missing part of his ear, but I didn't really want to stare to confirm that fact. He had some other scarring on his face as well. I will say he had gorgeous eyes, so that was a plus. On the phone he had had a ton of energy, so I thought that it would be easy to talk over the meal instead of the cursory awkward silence. Well, it would have been easy if I could have finished a thought or he stopped barking (more like yipping) questions at me. I quickly realize this is going nowhere despite the fact that he told me he was "like the freaking mayor of Georgetown" and I had to go out with him there because he knew the best places...blah, blah, blah. I've affectionately dubbed him the title of this blog and will forever remember him that way. I do a great impression of a Chihuahua by the way. Please don't let him call me! I haven't seen my doubles partner yet to "thank" her for this opportunity, but I will give this as a word of advice to friends setting up friends.... Pretend you actually know your friends and set them up with people they might actually like!!! :) My next set up is from the guy's mother. Guess that's a vote of confidence for you and could bypass the whole meeting his family awkwardness. I'll keep you posted.
NEW MATERIAL AHEAD...KEEP READING!
I have a meathead Chihuahua update.... apparently he told Peggy (doubles partner) that he thinks he's too wild for me. I think that was in response to me pulling the "I'm a high school girls Bible study leader" card. It works every time!!! :)

GO HOOS GO!
Brian and I just returned from the UVA v. Arizona basketball game. It was one of the most exciting games to which I have been. We were down by 19 at one point in the first half, down by 13 at the half and came back to win 93-90. How exciting. Let's hope this is a forecast for things to come. GO WAHOOS!

I'm a dork I know!
So most of you post pictures of your kids or husbands/significant others... well, I don't have any of those, but I do have this... It's my new house. I know I really am a dork, but I'm just so excited! And on a side note, everyone is invited on the Saturday night after Thanksgiving for a 360 hangout/housewarming/Megan pamper for baby party!

Confessions
I confess! I've been blog eavesdropping since August and I haven't contributed. Its been great hearing about each of you and how you all are doing (even the ones I've never met.) The interesting thing is I found out about this blog from Megan who I met while serving on summer staff at Rockbridge while her husband was leading program. She and I had never met before and it turns out we not only lived in the same house while at UVA but lived in the same room! Crazy. Anyway Scott and I are living in Miami Florida and anytime you want to visit we would love to have you. I'm not sure what else to update you on so if you want to find out more visit our blog http://teamlong.blogspot.com for the full experience. Love to you all!
God Bless,
Kristin Long '97-'98
Calling the lurkers
Okay, girls. As one of the administrators on this blog, I am hereby wielding my great and magnificent powers to try to coerce those of you who have not yet posted into posting. We can see your names listed in the sidebar and so you cannot plead blog ignorance because we know that you are reading the blog at least sporadically. So, I'm going to put this out there that whomever posts first gets to “tag” someone to post next. So, Julia, Kristin, or Christin, one of you start!! And Jori, Krystal, Catherine, JC, Laurie, Shellie, and Jamie, we're still waiting to hear from you!
