- The time and ingenuity that goes into planning the Opening Ceremonies astounds me. That and the sheer manpower of volunteers and performers and resources. I don't care if it's long...and maybe a little boring...the talent behind it is still insane.
- I love hearing them say Omaha, in reference to the swim trials held in my hometown, during the Olympics. :) I'm a proud Nebraskan, it's true.
- My couch is going to have a very defined imprint of my butt, as I sit in the same place for approximately 8 hours through the afternoon/evening.
- I'm thankful to have a job where I can have the Olympics on while working in the mornings.
- Gymnastics amazes me. I can sit there and watch with my mouth wide open in amazement. Sure they make some mistakes, but they're sure a heck of a lot better than I ever could be!
- I teared up when the Fab 5 won the gymanstics team Gold medal.
- David Boudia is my new favorite diver. Christian athletes go a long way in my book, and he represents well. Gabby in gymnastics is also representing. :)
- Michael Phelps is extraordinary. Regardless of the fact that he hit his prime last year, and is just not as perfect this year...regardless of the pot-smoking incident...that man is an athlete. No doubt. Hands down.
- I can't imagine representing a country that only sends 2 or 3 athletes to the Olympics. What an honor and what a responsibility! They must be so proud of their accomplishments, regardless of the outcome!
- Kerri Walsh-Jennings' abs are ridiculous.
- I don't understand why McDonald's is the official restaurant of the Olympics...and their commercial is deceptive. Half of those kids/adults can't even afford McDonalds, if they happen to have one within walking distance!
That's all for now. It's only day 4 of the Games...
GO TEAM USA!
