So Many Olympics, So Little Time

Well, I have been pretty much glued to the television every evening and I am staying up WAAY too late at night. I just HAVE to watch all the gymnastics and swimming, of course, and confess to staying up as late as 1:00 a.m. I KNOW I could record and watch later, but I know if I do that, I'll be watching practically every waking moment. Plus I might accidentally hear what happened before I see it and that's just WRONG. But I am loving all of it. It's so interesting to watch all the side stories of the athletes as well as everything that's going on in China. Fascinating place and people. I am more than slightly disappointed that some of the Chinese gymnasts are either way under age or completely growth stunted. Fake passports I'm thinking. Good for our athletes who became great the old fashioned way and weren't taken away from their families as early as age three to be the prodigies for their country. Hmm......'nuff said.

Okay so for the VERY FIRST TIME I am admitting that it would be nice to have a high def t.v. just to watch the Olympics. Whitney and Travis invited us to come watch the opening ceremonies on their big hdtv and I have to say, it was awesome. Everything in me resists the urge to purchase something that would take up a large chunk of our t.v. room and that would just encourage us to be glued to it more. But for certain occasions......

Go USA!!!!
