on olympics and family vacations

Chop gave me grief today for not blogging for awhile, and the truth is, it’s been a long couple of weeks.

My best friend from high school and her husband stayed with us for a couple of days, then the morning they left, his parents flew in and stayed with us for five days. Two days after they left, his sisters flew in and stayed with us for five days. Parts of it were fun (lots of visiting local attractions, lots of drinking and reminiscing) and parts of it were rough (his sisters like to argue, massive quantities of rain, not being able to work as much as necessary), but all in all, it was very entertaining.

Like I said, it’s been a long couple of weeks, lol.

Up side.. the Olympics. And omg, do I LOVE the Olympics. My Nana and I watched the ’96 and ’00 Olympics together, and ever since, I’ve been hooked. I use the DVR to tape all the coverage and then I fast-forward through what I don’t want to watch (basketball, baseball, tennis, water polo, etc.) and watch what I like (swimming, gymnastics, diving, track and field, some weightlifting, kayaking). Working from home definitely has it’s advantages, as I’ve watched Olympic coverage every day for upwards of 12 hours. Goooood times.
