Golden Times!

My new hero of the Bejing Games is Nastia Liukin, who is now the Olympic Champion of All-Around Women's Gymnastics.  I was in awe at the performance Nastia had last night.  AMAZING.  I was also so touched as she got emotional as The National Anthem played while she was awarded the Gold Medal!  The Olympics seriously contain an awesome spirit.  I was also very excited that the Chinese were unable to sweep gymnastic gold medals!  I am not biased or anything; GO USA!  My life has pretty much been consumed by The Olympics lately.  I keep thinking I don't really have much to write because I spend about 5 hours a day in front of my TV!


Last night was my first softball game since getting back.  I like my team.  We played really well but were unable to maintain the lead!  Funny thing is that I really don't even know what the score was because I just didn't care last night.  I just love playing.  I like that, as I get older, the more it is just about playing and less about winning.  

It is the Friday before the first week of school.  You think I would be more nervous.  I am not.  I just want to get started so we can be done with this whole transition thing. I am just ready to be off and going! :)  It was nice to see students at registration.  It seems to make things real and manageable!

Well, off to finish some things to present at a meeting later today! Thrilling!
