ah, well.

Well, the 2008 Hoopies winners were announced this morning… and alas, I didn't win for my category. The competition was stiff, and the woman who won (Ana, aka "Hoopalicious") is one of the founders of hoopdance and made a really fun video. I wanted to thank all of you who took the time to vote for me; the fact that I was even nominated, when I'm a relatively new "hooper" and this was my first-ever video, was a huge honor. And to be honest, the love and support everyone showed me over the past couple of weeks was more meaningful to me than getting a trophy.

thank you so much, guys!

file this under W for "whaaaa...?"

last week was my quarterly exterminator visit. my exterminator guy, B, is awesome and has been spraying my home for about a year and a half now.

last week when he was doing his thing, he was like, "hey, i do your mom's house too!"

me: "really?"
B: "yep, she's in [name of my mom's townhouse complex], right?"
me: "yep!"
B: "i was in there recently, and saw your photo on the hutch when you first walk in the door... and was like "hey, i know her!"

small world. so when i saw mom yesterday, i told her the story. her reply: "no, my exterminator's name is S. i've had him for years, he's never sent a replacement."

um. i'm trying to figure out what's wrong here. perhaps someone in my mom's complex has my photo in their house? :)
