I'm feeling very Olympic...

I hope everyone has been enjoying the Olympics. I think I've said this before...but I am a huge fan of the games...Summer or Winter...there's something about being out there representing your country...and having such a LOVE of a sport that you'd basically devote your life to it. And honestly, sometimes I get teary eyed during a medal ceremony...


So, in spirit of the games, I started thinking about some things I am good at that I'd like to lobby as new Olympic Sports.

1. Grocery Shopping - I can shop with the best of them...I can deal with a cart where none of the wheels go straight...I can shop quickly off a list...and quickly without a list. I don't mind elbowing someone to get the last bagels either...

2. Grilled Cheese making - Paul says I make a restaurant quality grilled cheese sandwich...it's perfectly buttered, crispy and melty....a gold medal performance.

3. Procrastination - Do you know me? Can you really argue here? I would rather do anything other than what I am supposed to be doing. If I am supposed to be cleaning...I'd rather knit...or pet the dog...or anything... and it takes me 5 times as long to do something as it should...because...well...procrastination...

4. Loosing my phone, debit card, and anything else that's supposed to be put away...and then not being able to find it when I am going somewhere...or realizing when I get there that..oops..left it in my pocket from when we went out yesterday...DRAT!

5. Clipping coupons and then never taking them with me. I think there would be lots of competition here.

6. Filling my online cart. I love to shop on line, fill up my cart..and then just close the window. I am the champion!!!! I am the greatest of all time!

7. And last, but not least, napping! I could nap for the United States and win a record number of gold medals. I'd rather nap than just about anything...any time...any place.


So there you go...these are my 7 Olympic sports...who needs ski jump or one of those other sports where they crash and you could break a bone!
