1. When the olympics are on I immediately become LESS active because my rear end is parked on the couch (or bed) intently watching whatever athletic event is on tv. And I usually have a snack in hand. This CANNOT be good for my own athleticism.
2. I enjoy watching cycling. Why?? I still have not figured that out yet, but if it is on, I will watch. Kinda reminds me of that whole "Field of Dreams" idea. I. Just. Get. Sucked. In.
3. Scrunchies did NOT die in 1996, like I had previously thought. They are very much alive and apparently the accessory of choice for female gymnasts the world over. Ugh, I'd like to see wearing them become an instant point deduction. They are that awful.
5. I don't fast forward through Bob Costas' little info moments between events because I am waiting for the moment when his forehead and cheeks actually show signs of life.
7. I am apparently a big English Royal fan. (I didn't expect to get sooo excited about seeing William and Harry in the audience at the Men's Gymnastic Events that I would literally clap.) And I now find myself constantly searching the crowds for other Royal sightings.
8. I will still watch a medal event EVEN IF NBC blows it and spoils the results for all of us.
9. I hate seeing ANY of the athletes fall, slip, crash etc...I will watch most of the balance beam, uneven bars and pommel horse events through my fingers because I can hardly bare to see them mes up.
10. All the swimmers look, at least for a few moments, like mermaids with that legs out, hands clasped, wiggly body thing they do when they first dive in or make a turn. AND I want to learn how to do it!!Ok....so...that's all I have for now...the Olympics are on and I am sure I have much, much more to learn and see!
