The Skew - The Olympics Shlympics

My eye is better. Thanks for asking. I may need you all to be a witness in my pending lawsuit against Supah who tried to maim me for life a couple of weeks ago. If you missed the whole horrible episode...click here.

Ruthless isn't she?!

But I'm a fighter. <-------total lie

So I'm still here....pushing forward...giving my skew no matter what the consequences or flying objects. 

I'm sure the other ladies on the panel have written some great intro on their blogs. 


*sighs as she presses back of hand to forehead dramatically*


But I'm exhausted after our royal Olympic events at our castle this evening. 


I took one gold medal in Uno. 


The youngest prince took Gold in our dance off by doing "The Running Man." 


Big Poppa Prince was disappointed he had to settle for the silver and I'm sure Supah will be mad she didn't qualify for the finals. But she was disqualified by the Russian judge, Katarina aka Karma.


My other little princelet got his gold for eating left over mystery food (I wouldn't tell him what it was) from PF Changs. 

These medals lead me to this week's topic...

The Olympics

Do you like the Olympics? 

Do you watch? Do you even care? 

I bet when you were younger you went to Olympic parties and played drinking games leading up to the different events.

NOt me.

I was a good girl. 

I mean I AM a good girl!! Shut up.

I’m not really one to get too excited when the Olympics come around. Summer or Winter. Though if I were forced by gun point the prince to watch one or the other, I would probably pick summer. Most likely because it would mean it was summertime instead of wintertime...which would make me very happy. 

It might surprise you to know that I am not a big Olympics fan even though a nurse ASKED ME IF I WAS AN ATHLETE this week. Yes I’m still bragging about that.

I mean, I enjoy college football...any sport my boys play...and anything I get to watch in person. 


I’m even including golf in that mix since I got to go to the Masters one time andTiger Woods looked at me and smiled for a brief second, but I’m no longer excited about that since he was probably just looking at a hooker behind me. I also watched Kevin Costner and Jack Wagner play in a charity tournament once. (Something tells me MIITB will have to wiki Jack Wagner.)

I will admit that I quite enjoyed watching Michael Phelps win the gold by a fraction of a millisecond. I was accidentally watching that event, but was glad I did. 

It was kind of like the time we accidentally watched the women’s team win the World Cup in soccer that year with Mia Hamm and company or the day I happened to be in front to the TV when Dale Sr. went head first into the wall. It’s not like we ever normally watch soccer. (Unless my son is playing against my wishes.) And I certainly DO NOT ever normally watch Nascar! I would rather pluck my eyelashes off one by one...which I’m sure I would immediately regret, but still.....

So basically, the only value I see in the winter Olympics is that I have another picture to put on my fridge to keep me from eating ice cream.
