I just got done watching some of the team synchronized swimming. I've always been fascinated by that event. It's so cool, but so odd at the same time. I just hate all that makeup they have to wear. They look like clowns. But the stuff they do in the water is AMAZING. I just saw the 2-time defending gold medal Russian team perform, and boy where they awesome!! The stuff they can do in that water without ever touching the bottom is phenomenol. They have to be in super great shape! Russia got 10s and I'm sure they won the gold medal again. Fantastic! That's awesome to watch isn't it. It just amazes me how they can be so graceful in the water without sinking. I know I would probably sink

BF and I woke up in the middle of the night and finished watching the Live USA gold medal basketball game. It was a really good game and I was so happy for the guys and coaches who really wanted to bring the gold back to the U.S.A.
I liked what all the team did after receiving their medals. They put all the medals around Coach Krzyzewski neck.

I just saw a commercial on tv that the U.S.A. gymnastics are coming here to Columbus. It includes Shawn Johnson and Nastia Luiken. I think I will try to take my girls. I know that Mackenzie would probably really enjoy this cuz she starts competing in gymnastics next month. And I just think Shawn Johnson is adorable.

I can't imagine the amount of honor they must feel, winning an Olympic metal. Chokes me up just thinking about it.

The Olympics were great! I actually miss watching them. I would stay up so late to watch. I'm so proud of all the atheletes (U.S. and other countries) and especially Michael Phelps.
I would be so proud for my child to receive any medal and to receive numerous Olympic medals...wow! I keep pestering(sp?) dh to find out when Michael will return home. I would think they would give him a parade or something! I'd love to get his autograph or better yet a photo with him.
Dh said that Michael went to L.A. and New York first.
