Why the Olympics are Bad for blogging

Yes, the Olympics definitely provide a lot of fodder for bloggers. Theres wins, loses, tears, celebrations, underage athletes, upsets, controversy surrounding the host country, ...BUT for us American viewers there at late nights, late nights, late nights.

For the past week I do not believe I have gone to bed before 12 am. Ok, maybe I am loser who needs their sleep, but I need my sleep. I have watched the Men's Gymnastics all-around, the Women's Gymnastics all-around, the individual gymnastic events, Bolt win both the 100m and 200m, and finally Misty and Kerry's gold medal historic win last night (ps we are on a first name basis because I have not so secret crushes on both of them). I mean all this event watching is enough to make a girl tired. Plus, I have been going to the gym more often cause after you watch someone run a marathon in 2 hours and 30 min, you begin to wonder why it is so hard for you to run 3 miles in 30 min.

So, by the time I drag my tired ass to bed, it is 12:30 and I am up at 6:30 to start another day. 6 hours is not enough to function (especially since I selected such an inopportune time to wean myself off coffee...).

But alas, it is all worth it cause I will remember what I was doing when Kerry Walsh hit the set point for gold...on my couch, half asleep, with a Popsicle wrapper stuck to my pajamas. If that is not glorious, please tell me what is.

I so totally am with you! I'm tired and my schedule is way out of whack and today I posted about not posting because I was tired. LOL! Soon it will be over and life will return to normal. ;-)
