The Olympic Challenge

The week is over and I am not sure where it went! Actually I do, I spent far too much time watching the TV and my computer for coverage of the Olympics! I have watched so many different sports and learned about them too. I think for the first time I’ve actually experienced the Olympics.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve always enjoyed the gymnastics, and the swimming, and the diving, but now I am into Beach Volleyball, archery, weight lifting, judo, tennis, basketball, well, I could go on and on. It’s been eye opening.

Our own USA Gymnast, Gabby Douglas won the Gold for the All-Around Gymnast,

and many of my favorite athletes, be they from the USA or other countries are all doing well.

I sat here for three hours watching the Federer/Del Potro tennis match this morning, live. I was actually yelling at Roger via my TV screen.

In many ways, I’ve gotten worse than Hubby. He at least has been doing things, besides watching the Olympics.

I did work today making spaghetti sauce from our garden tomatoes.

However, I can stand at the counter in the kitchen and watch the big screen TV. Doesn’t it look good?

Saturday, I need to do laundry. I’ve decided how I will get this done. I will take the kitchen timer and set it to go off when each load of clothes will be ready. Otherwise, I will simply forget and get lost in sport!

I’ve decided what I could get an Olympic Gold Medal for.

Watching the Olympics! LOL!

  1. LOL! I have enjoyed watching, but haven’t watched near as much as you, I doubt I would medal. You are so funny! Love YOU, Mel

  2. Haven’t been able to watch any – boo hoo. Between working and caring for Mom, no time or energy. She is back home now for two weeks and then will return here – hoping this works. Have followed Team USA in headlines and on NPR while driving – so proud of them and all the young people from all countries who train so hard to do their respective sports. They are all to be commended. By the way, are you still working on writing children’s books?
