Olympics Fever

Yay! The 2008 Summer Olympics games are here! I love watching the Olympics on NBC. I'm all about the pagaentry, tradition and sheer wonderment that makes up the Opening Ceremony. I love the back stories of the athletes and learning about the countries they come from. I sit in my chair with Josie's $10 globe in my lap feverishly trying to find the countries before the next nation is announced (just where is Borneo and Latvia?). I can't wait to find out who will be lighting the Olympic torch and the new creative way it will be lit. Unfortunately for this years games I missed out on that as it was apporaching 11 pm and I fell asleep. I was going to make up for it today though by turning on the tube and watching all the coverage I possibly could. Three hours into beach volleyball, a bike race and a few swimming events I got my bi- annual "Olympics eye-strain headache" and had to shut down the action. Bummer.......
