Ive been spending a lot of time watching the Olympic events on TV these last few days. I love not only watching the competition, but also hearing the stories of the athletes involved. It is truly an amazing couple of weeks.

Of course, as I watch the competitors, I cant help but make parallels to my life. Thus, we have

I get tired just reading about exercise.

I like this list! Hahahaha… you’re wicked funny, you know.

Funny! =) I love watching, too. Those athletes are making me feel strong about basic, too, if that makes sense…

I LOVE THIS 🙂

I love your fantastic list of Olympic “events.” I’m pretty good at going up a creek without a paddle.

Here’s a handful of gold medals for you, Sunshine! I know you richly deserve them … and more.

Mountains out of molehills biking! This would be a downside to the home based office.

*grin* One thing’s for sure! You’d probably beat every man into the ground who tried to compete with you! =)

Well, you certainly deserve a gold medal sweetie! I’m just keeping a good hold on the remote. 😉 Love,

You certainly deserve a Gold…. you do it and you manage to keep your sense of humour too. Go Wonder Woo!!! 🙂 I’m cheering for you! You could call the whole thing the 16hr/day upstream kayaking event.

Well, now I know who to talk to to get the latest on the olympics. Let’s see, when was the last time I turned on the TV? Funny stuff, SW.

You should ask about Gold Medals!!! Where are the GB Gold Medals????????

I’ll team up with you for that laundry thing. Passing on the relationship ones altogether! LOL.

As Torin would say *snorking with laughter* ! They sound more fun than the real olympics! Hugz

HAH HAAA! You do SO crack me up! I’ll have you know I hold a gold medal in Date Diving-in. The training is brutal. Oy. ~:)

HA~~ Very Clever Be Well

these are great. maybe we could get some special award just for participating, like in the special olympics:)

And for the ballroom dancing: the Rubbish-night Rumba.The source of my frustration is non-ODable… 😉

Thanks for the visit, friend. Enjoy life and take care.

Surfing compition, prehaps? Nice entry.

I see you sign in for the Groovy One! (It’s okay…the little minx has been known to cause me to sign in, too). With a grin, and no, you don’t need a reason any more than I do…Torin, Unsigned and sprinting through

That was funny. You could add in “Mixed Doubles Relationship Tennis”.

I think I probably flunk out in all the above but add some plain ol’ cow riding and I’m a champ!

*smile* Interesting…I’m missing most of the actual Olympics 🙁

darling, your cleverness astounds me

i’ve seen only the opening flying child, no cable, no reception, with toad’s old farm house but thank god there’s a phone for pc connection! 🙂
