I can't believe the opening ceremony for the Olympics. It was truly amazing. The precision, and scope of the performance was unreal. Of course 300 million dollars is a lot of money to spend. Some could argue it could be used to help rebuild from the earthquake, but wow. Even the broadcast in HD didn't do it justice, our screen wasn't 250 feet lcd. I don't think Sam's Club has one that big. Now on to the serious business of swimming and beach volleyball (Tom's favorite) and trying to figure out the schedule of events.

The Other End of the Work Day

After sitting for 9 hours at the computer in my non ergonomic office set up, there is a reward at the end of the day. The cramped shoulders were rewarded with a swim and a soak in the spa. When Tom works late, I can blast my Abba's greatest hits from the outdoor speakers letting the tension soak away.

I am not sure what I can stir up for dinner. Popcorn and coffee ice cream is an option, but there must be a veggie burger and some sort salad fixings deep in the reaches of the refrigerator. I know there is wine in the back of the shelf......

Then to start a new painting attempt and watch Kathie Griffin and Ace of Cakes. I love watching the extreme creations that Duff and team make and it seems like they have so much fun at work. Although I can't imagine that the cakes actually taste good. I would hate to spend that kind of money on one, and then watch it be eaten. But they are amazing.
