I am exhausted. It is tough work watching all the Olympic coverage I possibly can. Luckily it is the last few days so there is not much left for me to do. This is a very typical cycle for me. I get super excited about the Olympics and then for the first week I skimp on sleep and other activities to maximize my t.v. watching time. Then as the second week continues I start to give up, sleep more, and just watch more of the prime time highlights. Then when it`s over I feel an immense sense of loss and restlessness because I am not sure what to do with all of my `free time`. I also get frustrated by how lame regular television is after all the excitement. The same goes for the world cup. The problem with that event is that I have to commit a whole month of my life. I usually give up by the quarter finals, especially if I am not pleased with the teams that are getting to the final, which is usually the case. Poo on Christiano Ronaldo, that`s all I will say. It is really unfair of the sports world to schedule the winter Olympics and world cup in the same year. Can`t they spread this stuff out better? Anyways, after the women`s curling team won gold my mom called me. After the women`s hockey team won gold I called my mom. After the men`s curling team won gold my mom called me. I never thought we would be such sports nuts. Let`s hope I make a special call about the next hockey game, but I don`t want to jinx anything so that`s all I will say. I did get a bit emotional when Patrick Chan and Tessa & Scott skated. I can`t help it. And I really enjoyed ski cross and the new slope style events, but I have to say that I think the athletes are totally crazy for doing those sports. I am pretty sure I would break into pieces if I even attempted them. Go Canada Go!
On a more personal note, I almost killed one of my plants. I tried to transplant it but only a few little sprouts are currently surviving. I made such a huge mess doing it too. It seemed like a good idea at the time but in retrospect I should have just let it be and die naturally. Maybe it will pull through but I am skeptical. Remind me to not do that again if I start thinking about it.
I forgot the funny stuff I wanted to post. Typical. Ummm, yeah I can`t think of anything else. Maybe I will remember later, though it is doubtful!
