August... Olympics!!

I literally made myself sick watching the Olympics this year!! I was obsessed!! I am so happy that NBC got my letter! I simply said you own most of the stations on TV why not use them to show every single moment of these amazing games! It all started with the opening ceremonies to end all opening ceremonies! Yes, yes, I know they pulled a C and C Music Factory (the person showing is not the person singing...hee, hee) but it was still freakin' awesome! And I watched it all, from skulling to fencing (which the American women swept in case you have a life and didn't know that!) But for me the real highlight, the whole thing that made it blog worthy... Michael Phelps!!! I see you rolling your eyes, trust me I am just as sick of him by now as well, but I have my reasons. My reasons being, I'm a swimmer... of course I use that term loosely!! My parents put me in aqua baby classes when I was about 6 months old and I was hooked! I am still, to this day the first one and the last one out of any body of water... I even love taking a shower!! I swam competitively in high school and I was AWFUL, but I loved it! Here in lies my love for Phelps... he had MILLIONS of people watching swimming! Swimming was on primetime TV! People were practically water logged from all the time spent at the watercube! I LOVE IT! I swam competitively for years and I can tell you for a fact there was never more than the obligatory spectator. Parents of swimmers, spouses of coaches, and siblings that weren't old enough to drive or stay home alone. It brought tears to my eyes to hear people talking about lap lanes and goggles!!
