My Olympic top five

Photos: Nastia Liukin wins Women's All-Around Gymnastics gold
Here are the top reasons why you might hate watching the Olympics with me:
5) I fall asleep on the couch shortly after 9pm and then ask Justin to recap everything that happened while I was asleep.
4) I wish for bad things to happen to people from other countries so that my country can take gold (Women's gymnastics was bad, "please fall, China").
3) I say, "that's incredible" about once a minute.
2) During half of the events I ask Justin if they are seriously real events (I don't remember trampoline being an event)
1) I get super emotional (I hope I can blame it on being pregnant). I tear up during almost every interview of an Olympian and when people win medals because I'm so proud of people achieving their dreams

GO OLYMPIANS!!!

Mag you are cracking me up :) I have to admit to the emotional thing too--I am SURE it is simply because we are pregnant... The Olympics are pretty amazing.

I'm so jealous you've been able to see the olympics. Normally, I don't miss not having tv reception, but I've definitely wished I'd bothered to get cable this last week.

Hi'ya Maggie!!!!! Long time no blog. so fun that you are expecting again. So are we, but we're two weeks behind you. No twins this time around, most likely. Congrats to your husband for getting into a program. How do you like Fort Collins? Gracie is a doll!

Hey Mags! Love your blogs. So glad you are back on-line:).We have loved the olympics too but, we will be glad when they are over due to the fact that it has taken over our lives. And the crying thing...I don't think you can blame it on being pregnant. I am pretty sure I remember you tearing up while watching Saturday's Warrior way before the pregnancy thing came into the picture.
