I can't do a backwalkover either. I guess they are alright on the floor but on the beam my leg goes like all the way around to the side but I used to be able bring it back to the beam and still connect a backhandspring to it. Now I just do back handspring backhandspring so Idon't have to do anymore backwalkovers.

They do but I was just wasn't really interested in sports at the time and our P.E. was mostly just games.

Ok, I'm game....

...I lived in Switzerland for 8 months when I was six years old, went to Kindergarten there & spoke French fluently, now I can't remember a word of it

...I went there again for 3 months when I was eight years old, spoke Swiss German that time, & now I can't remember IT, either!

...I hate Watermelon (gives me a headache & makes me puke!) but like watermelon-flavored candy

...almost became a Linguistics major in College, but became a Nurse instead

...married my hubby when I was 20, and we are still together after almost 23 years (got lots of help there, no easy task!)

...traveled on a riverboat down the Amazon in Peru in 2001, on a medical mission, for one week (don't know how I survived, I hate bugs and they were monstrous there!)

...I love breakfast food--eggs & anything that requires maple syrup

...I HATE getting up early (which makes the whole breakfast food thing not make much sense!)

According to my best friend, breakfast food is ok at any time of day!

We would have these study sessions for AP World History at denny's, so we could get pancakes...at 3in the afternoon! I hate syrup and eggs, though I do really enjoy other breakfast foods, especially hashbrowns and fresh fruit!

I don't really like breakfast food like at all. I love muffins, english muffins stuff like that. I'll eat cereal. I don't like plain pancakes so I have to eat them with chocolate chips. I don't like maple syrup cuz I get all sticky. SO I usually will eat chocolate chip pancakes with nothing on them. Oh and I think its weird that people put butter on their pancakes. I never am feeling the waffle thing either. Theres this one kind of toaster waffles I like but thats about it. I got this Strawberry waffle sunday at nationals. I ate the whipped cream, the ice cream and strawberries. The waffle was all soggy and gross under it lol. Lucklily I didn't compete that day. Oh and I hate eggs too but I like egg mcmuffins from McDonalds.
