Olympic Fever!

It's true...I've got the fever.  Olympic fever that is and it's coming on strong!  I am that person that waits in anticipation for each Olympic games.  Summer games, winter games I love them all.  For a girl who can usually give two hoots about a sporting event I go completely bonkers for the games.  The spirit of celebrating your country, no matter what country you call home, is a beautiful thing and I love being able to participate in the moments when someone sees their lifelong dream come true.  A few of my favorites in the summer games are swimming (where I hold my breath during the events and only breathe when my favorites breathe), archery, track and field, rowing...oh I could go on an on.  Let's just say if an even is on, I'm watching it.
The only tough part is the time change.  Because we are watching many of the events on a time delay it's hard to keep the endings from being spoiled.  I ADORE  watching the races happen and waiting to see who wins and I can not stand it when the anticipation is crushed.  Having said that I have put myself on an internet blackout after noon each day to keep from having my fun spoiled.  Yep, that means unless I absolutley have to use the computer it stays off all afternoon and evening.
Now that swimming is over, it's on to track and field where I am still looking for someone to let me throw a javelin!
Summer is almost over.  School supplies are out in all of the stores and I'm off to brave Target on tax free weekend to stock up on supplies for the art room. Crazy, I know!
So enjoy the Olympics and keep cheering!
