Loving

I have always been indifferent towards Valentines day, but lately I feel like it is so over done and cheesy! Just my opinion:) This post is mostly because I'm in need of an attitude adjustment. I need to appreciate what I have! Sometimes it's necessary to take a look at your life and realize it's pretty great! Because it's yours and it's what God has given you so LOVE it!

Olympics

I don't know about you but I am loving the Olympics! I'm watching every night. It's destroying my sleeping schedule though! I am usually in bed by 9:30 now it's more like ten thirty eleven. It makes waking up in the morning rough.

So he didn't skate that well during the team event but I sill love watching Jeremy Abbott skate!

 I obviously am loving all of the figure skating! The team event of figure skating was different. It is such and individual sport so it was a bit strange. I think that it was a cool way to give more skaters a chance to win an Olympic medal, who may not have ever been in contention for a medal. Figure Skating is such a hard unforgiving sport and so few make it to the Olympics and only three get a medal. I am looking forward to the individual events now!!! 

I even pulled out my Jameson from Ireland over the weekend!

I am watching down hill skiing as I type! Woo that's a wicked sport! 75mph! The woman who took gold has had nine knee surgeries! I'm thinking if I ever need ONE it's going to suck! Haha they are hard core! 

I think Slovenia Europe just got put on the map! Have you ever heard of it? I hadn't till watching tonight, it looks beautiful!

what i will do for.......

Figure skating.

What are these winter Olympics doing to me? I am not kidding you people! It just goes to show how much I truly LOVE figure skating. I even went so far as buying a television to watch the winter Olympics! I have gone three years without one and haven't missed it a bit. I can hardly believe it. And I feel slightly bad about it for some reason. Like I caved to the pressure. I am not a TV watcher and I don't plan on becoming one just because I have a TV now. Except for the weeks that the Olympics are on of course! That little baby will be on every night! HAHA It will be more television watching in two weeks than I have watched in the past three years!  

It starts tonight!
