Am I really getting MAAAAAAWIED to a woman in 3 days?? We are both in a bit of shock that this is actually happening. We are now in CT and there are like 9000 people coming to celebrate us?? I am in shock.
In other news, I am really glad gymnastics is finally over. I am SO sick of Bella (isn't that a character on Days of Our Lives?) and the little girl with her chest puffed out and the men with Popeye arms.
I'm not so into track and field - the poor chick who hit the hurdle and lost the gold at the last second. Meanwhile, the irony of Costas...they interviewed "hurdle" - I believe her name is LoLo after the race and she was very gracious. A few minutes later, they showed her in the "tunnel" beneath the stadium. Costas' comment, "Lolo, under the stadium and away from the cameras, now lets her emotions go" - yes, he is saying this as we are blatantly watching her on tv, clearly UNDER the watchful eye of the camera. Ridiculous.
Imagine training for 4 years (or 24 years) for an event that lasts 15 seconds and losing the gold medal because you trip over a hurdle in your excitement. That SUCKS!! Ah, the heartbreak of sports....

Still APPALLED
I'm just not done being appalled by gymnastics. Which is worse, gymnastics or ice skating?? How is it possible that there was not ONE person who could have medaled in the damn vault who didn't land on HER KNEES or out of bounds?? Are you kidding me? This sport SUCKS. I think everyone should just go and in the end, the judges should decide who wins. Just first, second, third - no scoring. OR, maybe the crowd should decide - they couldn't do worse than the damn judges!!
The "I miss Bella Karolj" comment (I have no idea how to spell his name). Have you not seen him as a broadcaster? Did you not see that they showed his reaction to the gold medal performace by Nastia? It was rididculous...
Michael Phelps is amazing, even if he does have bad teeth.

Airplane Unacceptable...
Hi. I'm sorry I can't finish what I wanted to say about the Olympics but Terrible pretty much said everything I wanted to say anyway. EXCEPT, the upsetting "dads" who are constantly present, hugging the 12-year-old daughters after they fall on their back, letting down the whole country. My problem with gymnastics - it doesn't look FUN. It looks like it hurts. Why would somebody want to ram their midsection against a wooden bar? Why would you want to "play" a sport that forces you to wear "wraps" around the arches and hands because it hurts so damn much every time you grip or land?? And let's be honest - on floor exercise, is it necessary for them to play the "soft" music when these "girls" look like ANYTHING but girls?? Let's not be girly - go for the gold and do some one-armed pushups like the "boys".
Why is it that in gymnastics, the girls look like boys and the boys (who are usually HOT until they talk) are so girly? And let's talk about men's gymnastics. First of all, I have to say I'm glad the Hamms are out, although we did dress up as them for Halloween 3 years ago. It allows the huge-armed Indian-American to shine on the rings. But I do have to say, I love their outfits. J has decided that all male athletes should have to wear speedos or the gymnastic outfits when they "play".
For example, why do the male swimmers now wear women's bathing suits? And why do the beach volleyball "women" have to wear bikinis and the men get to wear JAMS? They should wear Speedos or the gymnastic outfits, right? Do you remember JAMS? Hehehehehe.
I haven't even GOTTEN to my airplane unacceptable yet. I had to stop talking because my employee (it's ridiculous that I have employees) arrived in the midst of my gymnastics rant. Ok - I am not a fat-discriminator but, in the past 2 weeks, I have been sat ON by 2 women on small planes and I just don't think it's fair to anyone. I feel badly for them because they can't even put the tray down and I feel bad for me because I can't put the armrest down and I only get half of a seat and it's VERY uncomfortable. Can't they have handicapped seats or something for the seatbelt extender people??
Ok - so I am flying to Seattle, on a 6 hour flight and about halfway through, I am whacked by the stench of fish. It REEKS. I can't figure out what the hell is going on but I know somebody is somehow eating fish on the plane, 3 hours into the flight. How is that possible?? After we land, I get up and the guy behind me is proudly holding up his little vacuum-sealed packet of salmon, like LOX salmon, which he must have opened up during the flight. UNACCEPTABLE. Seriously, even a fart dissipates - FISH on a plane?? I was pissed.
Ok - enough for today. Except....last night, while we were driving from Portland, OR to Seattle, we had to stop at a rest stop. SO...I picked up a couple of bottles of Smart Water for my co-worker and myself. As I was walking toward the cash register, I saw a bunch of bearded Washingtonian-looking people milling around the hot dog situation. I didn't pay much attention. BUT, as I was leaving the store, I heard the cashier say, "ELEVEN hot dogs??" I was somewhat in shock so I snuck a peak at the crew in line. All I can say is that there were, indeed, 11 hot dogs amongst the 4 people, they were all smothered with something (I think I saw some sauerkraut) and I may never eat a hot dog again.
And oh by the way - I am getting MAAAAAWIED in less than 2 weeks!!

Thank You Olympics!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't have much time - getting ready to board a flight to Seattle and on to Portland which SUCKS since I'm coming home tomorrow but I have two things to say.
Women's gymnastics is the most unacceptable thing I have ever seen. And Michael Phelps is ugly.
I'll get back to that.....got to board my plane.

The Two Coreys
OK.......I have been getting flack from fans although only one fan has actually responded to my fabulous blogging skills. I have to warn you, I am angry these days. Besides the fact that my diet includes a regular dose of Vicodin (which wouldn't be a bad thing if I were taking it for PLEASURE), I had to put my dog to sleep. I can't get over it. And, I am so sick of the fucking people who think I should be over it in 2 seconds. It's "just" a dog but frankly, I like my dogs better than most people. They don't talk back, they love unconditionally and they never remember why they are mad at you. And they are REALLY cute. And no matter how much time you may want to spend in bed, they don't give you shit - just lay in the bed with you.
On a different note, I caught a couple episodes of "The Two Coreys" the other night. While I am impressed that these two have managed to capitalize again on a career that ended 20 years ago, I am appalled by the Coreys. I am also even more impressed by the child stars who have managed to become adult TV stars. Like "Rick" Schroeder. Or Jason Bateman. Even the Olsen twins have pulled off something. On the other hand, Boner never made it anywhere. BONER...how did they get away with that?? And what ever happened to the Double Trouble twins? Of course, Clooney was on that show and he certainly made it!
Back to the Coreys. First of all, what exactly did Corey Feldman ever do besides be one of the Coreys and get addicted to drugs? Stand By Me?? At least Haim had Lucas to his credit. Feldman has truly made the most of his shoddy child film career by taking advantage of Haim. And with that being said, what the hell happened to Haim?? He is a MESS and Feldman is the most acceptable former child star ever (now that he is off the drugs). Haim has turned into Puck! Has anyone seen this show? Haim is SO Puck.
Ok - I guess I should work a little....from bed. It's almost time for a Vicodin.
One more thing - I have decided from watching Intervention that drug addicts are much more entertaining than alcoholics. The alcoholics are sloppy and mean and it hurts to watch them drink a half gallon of alcohol. Drug addicts, on the other hand, are MUCH more entertaining. They even sell their bodies for drugs!
