I have to say thank you Olympic games for making me realize just how out of shape and non-athletic I really am. Yeah, when I was in high school I thought I was the stuff... being able to run at state for indoor and outdoor track. Actually making it to the finals and placing in the overall competition. I mean I thought I was hot stuff. Well, then of course I watch the olympics and I slowly begin to realize just how NOT good that was. I mean these chicks are running like 49 second open 400m! I am like what!? I would be the girl that came in, you know like 13 seconds later... when all the athletes had left the track and they were preparing for the next race. Yeah that would have been me. Lord, why wasn't I blessed with these incredibly fast genes? I mean I can't think of one thing that I really excel in above other people. I am just a mediocre kinda gal I guess. It's cool though... I mean when I think about it... what kind of life would it be to just train all day everyday?! Doesn't sound fun to me. I'd rather just be watching them laying on my couch in front of my tv.. pretending that because I am watching stellar athletes that I am actually getting better athletically. Wouldn't that be nice?! But seriously I think I am going to have withdraws now that the Olympics are over. I feel like they are all my friends now since I have been watching their every move for the past two weeks. But I guess I have to wait for 4 more years to spend some more time with my new friends. Sad. Well, not much has been going on besides spending time with my new buddies on tv. This past weekend KK came in town! Woo Hoo! It was a lot of fun to be able to spend time with her. She's cool. We almost had a major wreck on Friday! The stupid car in front of us brake lights were out... so of course I didn't know he was stopping until i was about 5 feet away! Luckily my brakes worked supremely and there was some random pavement on my right side so I avoided a major accident. Praise the Lord! Yesterday, Beck and I drove to Gadsden for a Bridal Shower for Haley. It was good to see her... but the shower was quite boring. Well... I guess I am going to go now. Peace :)
