I blame the Olympics
Man, I'm really tired today. Usually, I don't think talking about how tired you are is a legitimate topic of conversation (because we're ALL tired), but this is my blog and I can talk about whatever I want.
I've worked two evening shifts at the library this week and the shop has been pretty busy as of late so I've had to work in the office after I get home from the library and after we put the kids to bed. Every night for a week I've said I'm going to bed right after I'm done working and NOT ONCE have I actually done that. Without fail, I come up from the office and the Olympics are on the TV upstairs. I haven't been able to resist watching! One night, I even went to bed with the intention of going to sleep and ended up watching it on the TV in the bedroom (which reminds me, we should get rid of the TV in the bedroom).
Like most people, I love the swimming and gymnastics. I like that I can read the results on the internet before the primetime coverage and if I don't like the outcome, I don't want to watch it. I can't handle the suspense. I'm still trying to figure out how the gymnasts know exactly where the edge of the mat is with their heels before a big tumbling run on the floor exercise. Another of their many talents.
I also really like watching diving, but I haven't happened to catch any yet. I looked it up and much of it is being shown between 1 and 4 in the morning. I wish now I didn't know that becuase I'm afraid I'll start staying up to watch it.
