The Last Thing Thursdays - OLYMPIC EDITION

 After I wrote this post yesterday, I realized I have to actually DO what I SAID I was going to do. :)

So...in keeping with this "back-to-me-voice".... I have decided that I'm going to keep a little schedule when it comes to The Last Thing Thursdays (and share it with all of you). 

So...this link up (which I love so much) will be every FIRST THURSDAY of each month. 

That way there is no question of "are you doing a link-up this week?" etc...It'll be better for all of us! 

If you want a schedule so you can plan for each month....

August  2

September 6

October  4

November 1

December 6

Cause let's face it..being on a schedule is just easier for everyone (especially me).

Now onto something I have been waiting for for 4 YEARS!!

THE 2012 LONDON SUMMER OLYMPICS!!! 

Anyone else STOKED?

{GOT EXCITED FOR}

Tomorrow, duh. I can't WAIT for the Games to start! 

You better believe I have the Opening Ceremonies set to record on my DVR!

 (by the way what did we ever DO before DVR..Cavemen times, I tell ya.)

When the 2002 Olympics were here in SLC, I went to TONS of events and TONS of concerts. The atmosphere was electric. I met so many amazing people from all over the world, and it was seriously an awesome experience I'll never forget. Ever since then, I've been HOOKED.

There is something about watching all of the athletes Olympians come out, that makes me get all giddy. Each country looks SO PROUD of their athletes, and it makes me tear up. Yes, I'm a baby.
And who doesn't love the crazy spectacular that IS the Opening Ceremonies?!
Can't wait to see what London comes up with!

{WANTED TO WATCH THE MOST}

My all-time favorite Olympic Sport is Swimming. 

I don't know why. Maybe it's because I used to swim?? 

(just on a little club swim team back when I was like 10-13--that counts, right?) 

I am just excited to watch our boys/girls rock it out and win some medals! 

Oh and DIVING! I am in love with that sport. I would totally do it if I wasn't terrified I'd hit my head.

{WAS BETTING ON}

This year I am betting against my hubby. We are picking countries that we think will win the most medals (highest total). We aren't allowed to pick U.S.A, though (even though I know the U.S. is going to take it). I'm still gonna win. Fo sho.

{WANTED TO LOOK LIKE}

Ok...let's all just agree right now that athletes bodies are ri-DONK-ulous. I have never had the patience (or the desire) to sweat it out in the gym 7 days a week like they do. 

Would I want their body by going to the gym twice a week--absolutely. Am I going to? Nope. 

Umm..she plays FIELD HOCKEY!?? Sign me up. 

{WAS SHOCKED I REALLY LIKE}

I am newly obsessed with Rowing. It never really interested me before.  Maybe I always secretly wanted to be on a rowing team. However, after doing it in Hawaii, I realized how freakin' difficult it was. 

So I'll just watch & cheer from the sidelines for our team!

Alright people....who else is EXCITED? I know you secretly are..so don't pretend like you're not! :)

I'll be watching...will you?

Now it's YOUR TURN to link up to YOUR Last Things! 

You can talk ALL ABOUT the Olympics if you want..or just WHATEVER you want.
