Abominable Snowman in the Flesh

My Thursday turned out to be quite interesting so I'll share it with you :). I started out the day with nutrition class at 9am. We're covering the G.I. tract right now. Did you know that you can live without a mouth, esophagus, stomach, large intestine, rectum, and anus? As for the small intestine, it's pretty vital, but you can actually have part of it removed and still survive. I had no idea. Of course, your living situation would be far from ideal, but still, modern medicine and technology is amazing stuff! After that, I had a class called quantity food production, which is the class that puts on Cafe NFA. I got out of class at about noon, and this is when IT happened. I saw the Abominable Snowman in the FLESH!!! I wish I had a picture or at least decent enough words to describe it. But as I'm walking out of the NFA building, along comes this man dressed in this huge abominable snowman costume. He waves at me and just keeps on walking. Thankfully there was another person on the sidewalk to witness it otherwise I wouldn't questioned my sanity. As he walked away, I noticed there was a sign on his back that said hairynosexy.com. Once I got home, I had Danielle check it out for me, and apparently it's a hair waxing salon in Brookings. Hah! Wow!

Other happenings...

I went to track practice with Danielle today. Their workout was 8 150m sprints indoors. So I ran their warm-up with them outside and then just kept running for a total of about 5 miles. It was super slushy and sloppy in Brookings. At one point early on in my run, I made the mistake of standing too close to the curb on one of the sixth street intersections. A big pickup came flying by and dowsed me head-to-toe in slush. I bet the people sitting in their vehicles got a good laugh out of that. Hah! I took it surprisingly well, but that might not have been the case if I had been wearing anything other than black :). After getting back to the HPER, I did what Rod calls "Monster Walks" which are drills where we use a theraband for resistance. I might be a little sore tomorrow.

Then I came back home and had a some supper. Lentil soup with crackers and toast. And for dessert, I broke into the dark chocolate peppermint bark that Mom sent back with us. Dang, it was good :).

After eating and showering up, I decided to go to the SDSU men's basketball game. Luckily, Charlie was willing to go with me, and eventually we met up with Kaleb. The game was great, though! We were down for the first half, and then came back in the second half to eventually win it 65 to 64. It was definitely a big win for the SDSU guys.

And now I'm ending the night with a cup of hot chocolate, a little blogging, and hopefully a visit from the beau :).
