Let me just start out with some excellent news: I had a really great job interview for a job that I REALLY want!!! Now...whether or not I can call that job mine, has yet to be determined! BUT I had a job interview! That is progress my friends! Someone saw what I had to offer and they were interested! Definitely some much needed reassurance that I'm doing something right. That being said, I will praise God if I get this job and I will praise God if I don't get this job.
Moving on: THE OLYMPICS. Obsessed. Fully, totally, 100% obsessed. I just reallllly love them and I can't stop watching! HOW amazing is it that the entire globe brings their most elite athletes together to compete and ultimately try and become the best in the world!? What other event brings the entire world together? (even though each Olympian is fiercely fighting against the next for the top spot...it's all in good fun, right?!) And sometimes I'm just so sad that I'll never know what it's like to be an Olympian. So, thanks mom and dad for never putting me in gymnastics or forcing me to be a beast volleyball player! I know I could have been great! ;)
My favorite event, which is so cliche but I just don't care: gymnastics. Don't get me wrong, I love the swimming, the running, the cycling, etc. But gymnastics has my heart.
I can't get enough of the snazzy bedazzled leos, the scrunchies, the tears. The image of Kerri Strug and her chili bowl haircut landing that vault on ONE LEG! The pure strength and fierce persona of each competitor. And lastly the insanely jaw dropping routines that they do!!
Uh.Ma.Zing.
And what is truly amazing is that even though I have never taken a gymnastics class in my life (which explains why doing a cartwheel is a little bit scary for me.) do you think that stops me from believing I'm an expert when they're on TV? Nope. Not even a little bit.
"Oh man, she really should have kept her knees together on that one."
"aggghhh he shouldn't have rotated so early!!"
"well if that isn't what sticking a landing looks like, I don't know what is."
These are all statements that I have found myself saying this week. I'm so ashamed. WHO do I think I am? But I'll tell ya one thing, if NBC ever finds themselves in need of a pedestrian gymnastics commentator, I'm their girl.
We'll briefly touch on the fact that there has been ZERO cooking in our house this week. (you've read about my obsession for The Olympics, right? Cooking just didn't make the cut.) BUT this morning, I prepared a pork loin with potatoes, carrots, and broth that is cooking in our crock pot as I type. GO. ME. This is my first slow cooker meal and I'm really anxious to see how it turns out! If it turns out anything like the pictures I've seen online (which is unlikely) it should be delicious!
Later, friends!!!
