Results from Cup-Stacking Championships

Drumroll please!



To make a long story short, 1st place in all four events in my age division, once again.

Plus I won 2 raffle prizes (with only 6 tickets to win with).

Beat my cycle time from last year by about a full second.

And no news about any new records just yet.

The bad news is that there were a lot of mean people there, this year. One girl even said that someone's time was "horrible", as they walked up to get a medal for their placing in their division. Her mother, not much nicer herself, kept telling her what she was doing that was wrong.

But, despite the poor sportsmanship from these people, there were a few that stood out (to me) for trying their best, and just giving it a go. And I applaud those people for an attitude that makes the world go 'round. No names, just fond memories.

Cup Stacking State Championships- Sat. 11/21

Ok, so a few of you may already know this, but I have registered (or will at the door) to participate in the PA state championships for cup stacking. Last year, I brought home four 1st place medals, AND the state record (still standing) for my age division, meaning I'm putting a TON more pressure on myself already!

And I already half broke another glow-in-the-dark cup! (I break them when I get nervous and frustrated, usually on my table at home)

So, here's hoping that the remaining cups will stay in one piece, and the half broken one (the crack hasn't gone all the way through to the other side) will stay intact for practice until Saturday.

For Saturday, I plan to use my REALLY good cups, in hopes that I do not break THEM during the competitions.

ANYWAYS (NOW I'M REALLY SHOUTING) Any positive thoughts sent my way will be much appreciated, as I'm having trouble sending them to myself.

I will now go have some of my dog's Valium. :P

Who am I kidding, I need to PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!
