Crashing

I’m at work, it’s 4pm and I’m Crashing! AHHHH!! 4pm Phoenix time = 12am Italy time. Ugh… my body is screaming “WHY THE HELL ARE YOU NOT ASLEEP!!” Anyway, only about 30 mins left to go in this day. I have tons of stuff to do before I can relax though. Grocery store, laundry, go through mail… it’s a never ending list! I have 2 episodes of Survivor to watch, 3 episodes of American Idol, 1 episode of Invasion, more than 30 hours of Olympics to go through, and this week starts all new episodes of the shows I watch like The Apprentice, Deal or No Deal, and The Amazing Race (oooo,can’t wait!).

Oh yeah, I also have to get all my pictures figured out and put them on the web to share with all you folks.

Anyway, Olympics are over, I’m kinda sad. 4 more years until 2010. Wow, I’ll almost be 30 by then… YIKES! USA finished second in the medal count with 25 being beaten by Germany for a second Olympics in a row. The best performance by Team USA outside of the USA. I’m happy for all our athletes. I guess I should take this moment to say good job to the people up north as well. You got 24 medals, good for you. More than you have, in any Winter Olympics, correct? Now, let’s see if you can avoid the gold medal curse* that was present in 1988 – Calgary. How embarrassing it must be… (I’m sorry, I just can’t help myself when it comes to poking fun at you Canadians).

*For those of you who don’t know, Canada is the only country to host the Winter Games and not win a Gold Medal.

I’m Back

I’m back from a wonderful trip to Italy for the Olympics and for just good old tourist activities.

ITALY is by far one of my most favorite countries to visit. Firenze is definitely at the top of my list when it comes to favorite European cities!

Anyway, I’m going to put together and online photo album thinger so people can check out all my photos (and videos?) and I’ll post that link here as well as send out an email to those of you special enough.

Things weren’t all fun and games on my trip, stories to follow. I hope to post some of that stuff today sometime. Maybe when I’m at work and bored, like I know I will be.

Ciao!!

P.S. I’m awake like you wouldn’t believe. Woke up at 4am on the dot because that’s noon in Italy and my stomach was saying… “hey, it’s lunch time, feed me!!”

Olympics Begin

The XX Winter Games begin today! I can’t wait to see the Opening Ceremony tonight.

I leave in 6 days, I’m so excited!!

USA! Bring home the gold.

Canada, what’s this I hear about you wanting to bring home over 35 medals? A bit of a lofty goal, isn’t it?

WE WON!

Steelers won! YEAH! WOO HOO! ONE FOR THE THUMB BABY!

Anyway, I would have posted earlier but I just now recovered from my hangover… i didn’t think I had that much to drink, until I started taking out the trash and recyclables last night… JESUS!

Anyway, can’t wait for next season. Woo Hoo!!

Super Bowl XL

2 days and counting. I can hardly wait. I’m super nervous though!!

I’m having a few people over to my house on Sunday to watch the game. It’s going to be good times. I told them all that I have limited resources at my house so if they want something more than beer or chips, they need to bring it themselves… sort of a pot luck type of deal? I may also buy something else to eat, but I’m not sure yet. Maybe some “make your own sandwiches” deal or something? If you have any ideas for food stuffs, let me know about them in a comment or email.

Ok, gotta get back to work. I’ve slacked off enough for today!!
