I know I'm not the only Olympics addict out there so I figured I'd confess my addiction. But with two Iowans there (Shawn Johnson in gymnastics and Lolo Jones running the 100m hurdles) I can't resist. I was a gymnast and a 100m hurdle runner myself-I'll take that as a sign that it's alright to neglect my much-loved sleep for the Olympics...Plus the swimming is so fun to watch. I was looking at the schedule online and there is a trampoline event!!! When is that going to be on? Let me just say that I was not overly excited that the Olympics were coming on-just curious about when the SUMMER Olympics were going to start-it's almost Fall for goodness sake! I told Jake one night that if the Olympics were ever held within 10 hours driving time we would go. He wondered where that would be-I told him they could hold the summer Olympics in Chicago or the winter ones in Denver. Not two minutes after this discussion a commercial came on advertising a candidate city for 2016-CHICAGO!!! Hooray!!! Now, I realize there are other candidate cities and Chicago is actually third on the list of four right now (Tokoyo is first right now-isn't that a little too close to go back to when they're in China right now!??!). The other two cities are Madrid, Spain and Rio de Janerio, Brazil. Personally, I think Chicago would be a great choice-I'll probably 10 or 11 kids by then to take with me (just kidding-probably closer to 5 or 6 and we'd be done!). The decision will be made in October in Copenhagen-I'll keep everyone updated!!

I'm an Olympic addict too! It is KILLING me because I can't help but to stay up until midnight every night watching - then I can't wake up for work in the AM!
Shawn Johnson was so sweet last night. I was almost crying after she had done her floor routine - GO USA!
Yes, the olympics ROCK! I'm so proud that Shawn is from WDM, even though most people out here don't know where that is (if they only knew what they were missing!). Looks like you're having a fun summer! Where are your belly shots, girl? I want to see the tummy!
