ALL ABOUT THE ESPYS!                                                                                                                  JULY 20, 2007
 


Finally a day from all the training....which gives me time to reflect on the craziness of the Espy's. After a week of practicing, it seems like it was months ago.

I don't know what ever possessed me to schedule my practice at 10 30am, the day following the Espy's but it was one I'll never make again. How do people function after a night like that? It is honestly a very exhausting job.

The show was very entertaining....so a big round of applause to Kimmel and Lebron. It's very cool to see an athlete such as Lebron, who you normally see on the b-ball court, co-host an award's show as if it's simply 'no big deal'. Now that's talent!

It was also nice to sit next to a friend instead of your manager for a change, (sorry Max)... So funny that Camilla actually presented the award I won....and no, neither of us knew that was going to happen. We were saying how cool would it be if in a few years I will present her an Oscar...you never know!

Some highlights from the week:

Presenting with Josh Duhamel......gotta admit I was one lucky girl! It's actually refreshing to meet people that are very real and funny. He had just got off the set of shooting his show and had to return filming right after presenting.

Getting payback with Lebron on stage (after he beat me at our Nike running competition, and since then is calling me a water girl) I told the audience I knew there was a mistake and the International Female athlete award goes to him....we had a good laugh about it back stage.

Wayne Gretzky telling me he's a huge fan......wow wow wow!!

Randomly bumping into Paris Hilton in the bathroom.....and asking me where I got my dress, it's hooooot. Ummm in Paris, I said. Haha That was pretty entertaining.

Jamie Foxx is one of my new favorite comedians! At the after-party he started imitating the funniest forehand motions in the middle of the dance floor and asking me what I think he should improve on. I'm like just do yourself a big favor and quit.....he was hilarious!

A big thank you to Michael Kors for sending me the hottest new bag of the season...looove it!

Since it's my day off I'm not going to spend too much of it looking at a computer screen....rather hit the ocean and go boogie boarding ( for the kiddie ones that don't surf).
