(note, this was from last week - but I wasn't able to post...)
Well I'm back again probably with the looooongest blog I'm going to write - ever. But so much has been going on! Starting off its been a task just for me to walk out of my apartment its freezing now in russia so the ground is ice! you just don't know how many times I almost turned an ankle or busted my butt trying to get to the car to go to practice. I never been ice skating but if this is how its going to be I never want to go. Man.
Recently I just had to moved from my apartment to another apartment due to some electrical problems. But anyway at our other apartment complex we didn't have to take out the trash we just sent it down on the elevator and someone at the bottom retrieved it. Well here we are at our new apartment and its trash day we send down our trash and the next thing we know 2 old ladies come up screaming at the top of their lungs in Russian! I had no idea what they were saying so I slammed the door LOL.
They came back the next day same situation and I slammed the door again but this day I had to go down stairs for something and when I got off the elevator they had the trash bag right there they had been thru my trash and taken half of it out and let the other half for me to take out !!!!!
NASTY! Who does that? But I guess that's what they do here bc a couple of days ago I got on the elevator and someone's dog had pooped on the elevator. Instead of them just cleaning it so that everyone that steps on the elevator didn't have to smell or see it they left it on the Floor and put a sign by it asking "whose poop is this?" Strange but the Russian way I guess!
Me and my friend Tay have decided to start doing taebo since she is not a big fan of liftng weights, so after practice, taebo it is. I have to admit I took it to play with at first but taebo and billy blank aint nothing to play with. Man you never stop moving regardless even when he says a 1 minute break you're still moving.
Well tay has asthma so we had like just started and I mean we were working our butts off all of a sudden she bust out with weezing and hollers billy blank aint about to give me no astma attack. I cried laughing. But I have to say she didn't quit ! she kept going but when she felt herself starting to weeze she took a break lol. Taebo really works you out it I was sore as heck the next day. Then, I made the mistake of doing it again the next day… the ultimate work out its like hour and a half long! oh my it seemed like it would never go off. But I have to say I feel really good probably the best work out I've had since being in Russia!
Russia can get boring if you're like me and tay we've watched every movie we have maybe 2 or 3 times so its hard trying to find other things to keep you occupied in the off-time. So we decided to play a prank on my mother about us getting a new dog while over seas. She freaked out bc we already have one dog (a Chihuahua named Tootsie who is a spoiled brat). Tootsie is not the typical dog that's wants to go outside and play and be bad she stays in the house and sleeps and eats table food.
She is so spoiled when my mother goes to get popeyes chicken she gets tootsie a 2 piece. Tootsie is not the fiesty small dog you would think of but the queen of the house who gets pampered and barely has her feet touch the dirt when going outside bc someone is always holding her!
If she does touch the ground moms is sure to wipe off her paws. But anyway she had a panic attack when we said we bought a dog talking about you know Tootsies the Queen and she doesn't need a playmate and blah! Blah! Blah!
Once I felt like she had had enough I told her we were just kidding. Now she is mad she told us we couldn't come home bc we play too much lol but we needed something to do! So, sorry moms we had to get you.
Right now we are at the board between russia and poland trying to get into poland we have a game against lotos chamique holdsclaw and dominquie canty's team. We beat them once but its the best of 3 games so we have to go to poland to try and wrap this series up. But we stopped at a nice restaurant on the way to the border and tangela smith (who reminds me so much of my father bc she just says what comes to her head but she doesn't mean any harm) had the funniest moment ever. A guy that works with our team who trying to be cool bc he can speak alittle english came over to speak with her but he likes to get close when speaking to you.
She embrassed him bc he is kind of …well…Big, and she was sitting down and he was like leaning over her. She turned around just as he began to speak to her and said COULD YOU PLEASE GET YOUR BELLY OFF MY BACK. Everybody busted out laughing even the people that couldn't speak english that well. LOLOLOL I cried laughing and I'm still laughing right now typing this.
Something else interesting happened today as well I saw crawfish overseas!!! We had crawfish and potato salad. For anybody new to eating, Crawfish is a big deal in Louisiana in the summer time. We just eat them until you can't eat anymore. But it surprised me that I actually saw one here. I didn't eat it but it kind of made me feel like I was at home for a moment. Even though I will be at home in a few days for the all star game in new Orleans!!!!!!!!
I can't wait I've never been to a mens all star game so ill have more to talk about in my next blog. And while I'm thinking of it, my grandmothers got on me about not putting them in my blog so grandma sarah, ill be home in a few days you know what foods I like!!!!!! ill be ready to eat when I get there. And MiMi don't bring no carrot salad to the cookout, cook something like some meat or red beans. I love you both ill
be home soon. Its PARTY TIME!!! And to all of my fans ill update you on everything in my next blog be safe and have fun. GOD BLESS! Peace.
