I Promise this wasn't me

Man-crush or not on Nadal, I'd never do this...at least I don't think I would...I'm pretty sure I wouldn't...let me think about it for awhile...I'll get back to y'all...

NYC man to be charged for Nadal on-court kiss
(AP) – 44 minutes ago

NEW YORK — A New York City man arrested for running onto the court at the U.S. Open to kiss Rafael Nadal will be charged with trespassing and faces possible jail time if convicted, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Noam U. Aorta dashed out of the stands at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens just after midnight Wednesday after Nadal advanced to the quarterfinals by beating Gael Monfils, prosecutors said. Aorta ran onto the court, then hugged and kissed the Spanish star as he was changing shirts on the sideline before security guards took him into custody, they said.

"For me, it wasn't a problem. The guy was really nice," Nadal said. "He said, 'I love you,' and he kissed me."

Wimbledon 2008

Started yesterday in case you hadn't noticed or didn't care.

My top picks to win it all. (and no I didn't pick both of them because of their looks)

Gentlemen's winner: Rafael Nadal (Spain)



Ladies winner: Maria Sharapova (Russia)



Todays highlights:

Sharapova beat Stephanie Foretz of France (sorry Catherine) in straight sets 6-1, 6-4

Nadal beat Andreas Beck of Germany in straight sets 6-4, 6-4, 7-6(7-0). Tip of the hat to Beck. He is the 120th ranked player in the world playing for the first time at Wimbledon. He played on Centre Court against the #2 player in the world and his showing was more than respectable.

Random Updates to follow over the next 3 weeks.

My Man-Crush Stopped By the Other Day

Otherwise know as the UPS delivery man, he brought me some goodies.

I bet you can't guess what he brought.

Go a head and try.

Do you give up?


It's new...


Pearl Izumi Streaks. 8.8 ounces of grace and beauty. That's 249 grams to you my French sister.


He also brought me some new running shorts.



He's such a swell guy. I hope he doesn't mind me hugging him when he makes deliveries to our house.




I used the Tax ‘Stimulus’ money for these purchases.

Today I helped the economies of:

China – Pearl Izumi running shoes
Malaysia – Asics shorts
Thailand – Under Armour shorts
Vietnam – the other pair of Asics shorts
