I'm obsessed with the Olympics!

Who isn't?! I really am not a big fan of Michael Phelps but what I've watched over these few days have truly amazed me..so did the Jamaican guy who just ran 100m faster than it takes me to walk from my room to my mom's room!

I've never been as intrigued with the Olympics as I have been this year. It started with the Opening Ceremony and I watched so many exciting sports! I never watch sports!! I watched fencing, beach volleyball, waterpolo, ping-pong(!!!), swimming, track&field, rowing, diving, synchronized diving, basketball, and softball. There are a few others I'm sure I missed, but they were all exciting. It was really great to here the stories about some of the Olympians, and what they had to endure to get to where they were. So many touching stories and stories of showmanship. So many amazing stories, I love a good comeback and there were a lot of them in this year's Olympics.

Weee! I also liked how two Vietnamese ladies played some intense ping-pong for the US Team.

Oh me too! I have had so much fun watching it all--Eric uses the TV as a computer screen, but I make him stop working so I can tune in. I'm going to be sad when they're over!
