Okay, I admit.
I don’t typically get into the Olympics.
I’m not sure why.
But for some reason, I’m into them this year.
Maybe because I finished my rough draft for novel #4 (releasing February, 2015) and since I’m wanting to take a week long break before diving into edits, the Olympics are the perfect creative break. Maybe this frigidly cold winter has me in hibernation-TV-watching mode. Or maybe because Brogan’s old enough to enjoy some of the events.
Either way, I’ve been watching them with my hubby, and occasionally the B-man.
Here are some things I’ve said as I watch. Can you guess which events I was watching when the words were said?
- How do these guys keep track of where their bodies are?
- Is it possible for any man to look masculine while doing this?
- Do you think someone would they die if they fell?
- She looks like she’s twelve.
- I don’t get why this is exciting to watch.
- Whoa, look at his face!
- How fast do you think they’re going?
Let’s Talk: Any guesses? What thoughts have gone through your head while watching?
* I don’t get why this is exciting: cross country skiing.
Did I spell skiing correctly? It seems like that can’t be right.
YEP! Cross country skiing!
I know I definitely wondered “why is this exciting” during the skiathlon!
During moguls, I keep thinking who thought this was a good idea?
And yesterday’s men’s downhill alpine skiing? “That kind of speed is CRAZY!”
My thoughts while watching the winter Olympics, pretty much any sport: I’d only get one shot to try that. One shot because it would end in death.
Me tooooo!!! LOL!
Figure skating and luge.
Like, really? LUGE? Who thought of this? A bunch of grown men, that’s who.
I’ll give it a shot:
– Snow boarding
– Figure skating
– Ski jumping
– Women’s fugure skating
– Curling
– One man luge
– Down hill skiing
DAD! You got almost all of them right. Everything but curling and the one man luge. 🙂
