We felt great at halftime. We scored the first basket of the second half (but) we didn't really get the stops that we needed to maintain the lead that we had. They just slowly crept up on us and took the lead.
We felt great at halftime. We felt like we were in good position to win the game if we played like we played in the first half.
The romantic idealism of my youth has been replaced with realism and hard work at what I love.
I've been in the shallow end of a pool, just kind of walking around, but this was my first time really swimming - and I was horrified! I actually lost it whenever I saw the edge of the pool. But I took baby steps and rewarded myself every step of the way.
Ever since I was a little girl, I always loved fashion. I would watch my mother get dressed and suggest things she should wear.
Right now, we have a normal operation, but we are expecting snow accumulation after 3 p.m., overnight, and into the morning. Probably overnight is when we're going to see the attack.
We have escaped the storm, it looks like, but as far as the flights, once the flight's canceled, it's canceled and that's that, ... Flights were not just canceled for Chicago reasons. There are bad weather conditions in other cities, as well.
Born on an island, I could swim before I could walk, thrown many times into swimming pools and warm transparent Caribbean waters: sink or swim, that was my first lesson. While I'm not a natural athlete, I'm still a strong swimmer and feel a great affinity with the sea.
At the age of 62, my father died of cancer - it was much too soon. My mother never remarried or got over it, never even thought of another man.
We really needed that. She could be the difference in the big games from last year.
We've lost the last two years in that game to get to the Final Four. To finally get over that, I think we'll be more relaxed once we start playing again.
I was over it when the game ended. I try not to dwell on things that happen. It was a bad game. It was unacceptable to me, but I just have to keep moving.
I think since I've been here, our fan base has gotten larger and larger. I think we're used to playing in front of pretty big crowds. It's not like the men's crowds. I think we have a good amount of fans, and I think we're comfortable playing in those situations, those environments.
You have to dig down sometimes. I'm just glad we won. Against a better team, the result probably would have been different.
