Life in Denim and Flip Flops

Ugh...I really want to be able to keep up with this blog. However, I have to admit, if I can't keep up with it during the summer, the school year might be tough. But we'll see...I'll just have to keep trying it. Since I last posted, I've pretty much spent most of my time watching the Olympics. I've decided that I enjoy watching water polo. Yeah, I know. Awkward. But I sort of feel like it might be a gateway sport to soccer and hockey (two sports I never really got into.) Besides I'll admit, it's pretty hard to find more athletic people. I mean, they have to be able to swim, throw around a ball, and tread water (and keep like half their body out of water to play goalie), all the while trying not to drown when their competitors try to drag them under water. Easy right? Right. Now that the Olympics are done, I'll be spending my time watching the U.S. Open when I'm home. Gotta love 2 week tennis tournaments. Granted a lot of the matches are played durin...

I don't know how many of you have been witness to my Olympic obsession (partially because I'm not sure who 'you' are). For those of you who are unaware, I'm crazy about the Olympics.

But I'll find myself watching rowing, water polo and shooting like it's my job. I just get sucked in. And the human interest stories always get me. Always. If I could figure out how to not sleep for 2 weeks, I'd be watching coverage all day. I'm sad that live tennis is at 2am. Sadly I have to be at work at 7:30 so 2am is a little early/late to be awake watching tennis. Thankfully like 4 other people at work are about as obsessed as I am. So there's a rule...no results at work or someone is likely to throw you off the roof. And we'll all have something running on the ...

My weekend in Ames, with my Ames was fabulous. I got to hang out with her wonderful friends, play Nertz (just another card game to love), and wander around Iowa State campus for an hour and a half. Sounds a little odd, but that's us...a little odd. Hickory Park was way fun. Amy was right; it's like a Cracker Barrel on steriods. More about the weekend later. Now I've got to hit the sack so I can stay awake at work tomorrow :)
