I keep thinking this is Friday...so I guess my starting line of "one week ago tonight I watched the Olympic opening ceremonies" won't work so well. :)
Well...for the last week I've been watching the Olympics. I love them. I told someone on the phone today that these are the sports I understand. Football? Lost. Basketball? Kind of lost. But these sports? I get them. Person goes down hill. Person reaching the bottom the fastest wins. I get that. Group of people skate around in a circle. Person who gets around the circle first wins. I get that. Not to mention all the events are done in no time at all. Perfect for my attention span. :)
While I've not planted myself in front of the TV for hours at a time this week, I have watched much of the festivities.
Loved watching Lindsey Vonn win her gold...loved watching Shaun White do his AMAZING thing and win...loved watching speed skating...okay so I've loved a lot of it!
I love the stories most of all. The "good true Olympic spirit" stories that suck me in and make me cry over people I hadn't heard of until five minutes ago.
So that's Olympics in Bekahland. I'd keep writing but that Evan guy is about to skate, so I must go watch....

You know, every single time both the summer and the winter games start I try to not watch them, but I can't help myself: I get totally addicted!
As for Shaun White - oh my goodness - I would kill for hair like that!
Kate: LOL, his hair IS amazing.
Bekah: Evan and Evgenie seemed to end in a tie, to me...so I was surprised to see Evan got the gold!
One thing I truly like about Evgenie is you can tell he is a man, not some androgenous person on the ice. It's nice to see costumes on men that aren't lacy or frilly or feathery.
Dang that Rudy Galendo anyway! sigh
Kate - I am SO with you on the hair. I have said over and over how NOT FAIR it is when guys get great hair like that! Even with considerable effort, I could not get that kind of body and curl!
Also not fair when they get these amazingly long, thick eyelashes. Not fair at all.
Tsofah - RUDY!!! I forgot all about him!! I was super happy that Evan won...I liked his attitude. Not fond of the snakes on the outfit...but loved the attitude.
