  3. i am in love with the swimming events.
  4. i know that ice skating is in the winter olympics.
  5. i really am not bitter about my lack of athletic ability.
  6. & actually, i am quite excited to have kids and get married.
  7. (preferably not in that order.)
  8. (not that there is anything wrong with that.)
  9. i will post the paper olympic events (and rules) tomorrow.
  10. there will actually be three events.

    So i’m not sure if this is going to sound creepy stalkerish but after this post I just had to tell you that last night I had a dream that we were buds and hanging out and you were 3 months pregnant!!!!!!!
    Looking forward to the olympics.

    Heh-yah, the Olympics makes me feel old! Michael Phelps makes me feel old-my God he’s only 23! And, maybe this will make you feel better: I’m 29…YOU make me feel old!

Rock on.. I’m excited. WAHOO! Can’t wait for the rules.. and I can’t wait for more inspiration to FLOW. Rock on. Go Team World. Ps. Your hair doesn’t look even HALF as bad as mine at this current point in time. Just thought I would slide that in there.

    every time I watch Michael Phelps (who, by the way, almost gave me a HEART ATTACK last night–.01 of a second? holy good god), I think about how I don’t even know how to swim. I figure he’s doing enough for the both of us.

    I love your video. I have struggled with age expectations myself. Turning 31 was way harder than 30.
    I want to participate in the paper olympics. Only one event. Well, maybe two.
