At the rink the first offical trainings started for the Nebelhorn Trophy on Thursday, so all the club skaters just got off ice training times, cause the ice is filled with the skaters from the trophy.
the off ice training from the club kids took part today in the hall where the competion took part. We mostly did jumping stuff on the trampoline in one corner of the hall. At some point I mucked around with the kids who were waiting in line to get to the trampoline, as Tanith and Ben came up to us. I have to admit that firstly I didn´t even recognized them . And when they were close to us Tanith joined in the row and asked "Can I join or am I to big?" while she made herself a little smaller. That was so cute!

And the end of the training one of the girls from the club danced around to the music that was played, and Tanith and Ben passed us again. When Ben saw her dancing he he started as well - so I took Saskia (the girl) and turned her around so she would see him and said "hey dance with him" and he giggled and smiled at Saskia...she was sooooo embarresed!!!

Me and Daniela (a friend of mine) got 6 rattles yesterday, for all the club kids to use for cheering for the skaters. During the Ladies LP me and Dani, were sitting behind the ice dance team from Switzerland (Leonie Krail/Oscar Peter) and their coach. They were watching the competition and when Sarah Maier was about to skate, we handed them three rattles over to cheer for her. Firstly they were totally surprised but yeah, they did cheer for Sarah and seemed to have fun doing it

Before the exhibiton was about to start the dad of one of the club kids came in and had his dog with him. you should know that the dog is HUGE and I mean HUGE!!! Chloe Katz, Joseph Lynch and Jeremy Abbott spotted the dog and were soooo amazed by this dog. So they made one of their coaches (???) take a pic of them together with this dog. I took the same picture cause it was just to funny! Me and the mum who belongs to the dog talked a bit with the coach cause they were sitting behind me.
When they got the invitations for a skaters dinner tonight (I know there's a real word for it, but I can`t think of it at the moment...) he came over and asked if I could tell him the way. So I tried to explain it where they have to go. And when I told them where it was Chloe said "Oh it`s where the cows are?!" and from some reason I didn´t get to word cow as COW - I couldn't imagine someone would remember where we have cows...so I was like "What???" she looked at me totally confused and answered "never mind" - and with that I got what she meant and all I did was "oh you mean the "Mmmmuuuuhhs"?" making the sound a cow does...  But it still was funny!

After the last victory ceremonie me and Dani went to get some autographs...and we did not bad. When we waited for Tanith and Ben, we also asked Povilas Vanagas...and there was this little girl there as well who wanted him to sign her paper, but she forgot a pen. When he asked for a pen all she said was "SHIT!" that was so cute, cause she got embarresed right away and Povilas said "SHIT? That`s not good!". He said it with a really cute accent (it was German). The girl got her autograph in the end.

All the others we asked for autographs were really nice! And we got a few pics of skaters with us and without us.
I still think Tanith and Ben are really nice guys!

Mmmh what else, oh Lesley - she is cool! When I talked to her took a look at my permit, which was hanging on a keychain (???) and said "hey you have one of these chains, do you know where I could get one from??? I love those - the past two years you had the pink once with some mobile thing on. I used them all the time!" Since we had some left I got her one. she was really happy about it. I didn´t know it's so easy to make a skater happy!

Ok that`s it!

Take care

In the last two weeks I met a few people who I haven`t seen in quite a while most of them by coincidence and the "seeing again moments" where really funny! So I though I write them down here:

1) me and a friend where standing outside another friends house (her parents have a little hotel and we spend a few days there). the friend knew we`d come around some day but I think she kind of forgot it cause she was really busy lately! And on one day she came out the door saw us and was like "Hey I know her, I actually really know her!"                       This one is my fave cause I react just the same normally *lol*

2) me and a friend took part at a Nordic Walking course and the coach there stayed at the hotel both of us work at in February for about 2 weeks. And while he was staying at the little stage so everyone could see him, he looked around. And when he saw us you could read on his face "Ok I know these two girls, but where do I have to put them???"   During the walk he suddleny came up to us and asked if we`re ok and we said yes, and then asked if he knows us. He just said "Yeap I know you but I actually don`t know from where" and when we told him he was like "Yeap sure" it was really funny!

3) my mum and grandma are staying at the hotel I work at, but I have vacation so I'm there in normal clothes. and there where two families from who I knew that I know them but this time it was my time not to know where to put them - at least I couldn´t remember the names....and suddenly one of them came up to me started talking and in the end my mum had to tell me who they where *ooops* and the 2nd family gave me pics of me.

4) A friend of mine wanted me to meet a boy and her best friend, so we went out together one night. Both of us where late cause she had to work. And while we walked to where we`re supposed to meet she told me about the boy she wanted me to meet, and all the things seemed just familiar to me and then she said something that made me realize who it was...someone I haven`t seen also since February. When we got there he was also like "Hey guess we know each other already hee?"   

Anyone still reading my blocks? If yes leave a coment, thanks!!!
