World Championships, Amanda Seyfried, and more!
I hate it when I have so much I want to write about that I don't know where to start! There's a ton of random thoughts going on in my head tonight so I'll do my best to throw down some coherent thoughts about them all.
1) World Championships
First, let me say how devastated I was to learn about Alicia's torn achilles. And I think it's even worse that such a terrible injury happened to her in the course of practice leading up to Worlds, not even in the actual competition. My heart aches for her to get the chance to redeem herself on an international stage after her Olympic debacle of 2008, and now she might not ever get that chance. Get well soon ASac, we miss you!!!
On a much, much brighter note, the US women won the Team gold medal at the competition earlier today, woo hoo! I'm so proud of you ladies for sticking together and nailing every single one of your routines. What poise and consistency for such a young team! USAG posted a short video of some of the highlights (I'm not able to embed the video sadly, but link is below). McKayla's valut is absolutely sick, the height she gets off the horse is absolutely breathtaking! And Jordyn's beam is a piece of sheer beauty! I'm not sure which is more impressive, her gorgeous connection sequence or the standing arabian that she performs to perfection. You have to see these clips to appreciate them, take a few minutes to watch them if you want to be wowed! (vid is below where it says "Universal Sports Highlights").
Can't wait to see the rest of the competition on NBC this weekend!

2) Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried is such a stunning woman and I just found out to today she's going to be featured in the new issue of Glamour magazine. There are some beautiful photos of her in the new mag, but the one that stands out to me is, of course, the one of her below in the bodysuit. If only I could half this good in one of my leotards!!!
3) Two piece sets
I only have a couple of two piece workout sets with crop/sports bra tops and matching shorts and I've been thinking of of getting a new one. I like that they are different than leos and biketards but still similar in that they can have very pretty prints and designs and girly attributes like shoulder straps and such. Plus the idea of covering up my upper chest gets me feeling very feminine!
I think I've narrowed down my selection to two for now. In the first panel of pictures it's the one that's in the top right (marked with #'s 1409 and 1631). The second set there's no picture of the actual outfit sadly, but you can get an idea of what the print looks like. Also, there's a drawing of the outfit in the lower left (marked with the same numbers as the first set). I love that both outfits have the strappy shoulders and I REALLY like the purple color and design on the second set! Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think of either!
4) Display icon
I haven't updated my LJ icon in like eons so I thought I would tonight. It's me in the newest biketard a got a couple of months ago. I love the print on this one and I love how it fits me like a glove! :-D
Well, that's all I gots for now.
Ta-ta!
