Vacation Anyone?

Haven’t the Olympics been awesome? Since I only follow a couple of events, it has been way too easy for me to get swept up in the excitement.

I have been spending a ridiculous amount of time watching the Olympics this past week. This comes as quite a shock to my system, since I’m typically not really a television watcher…sitting on the couch for endless hours watching television doesn’t really appeal to me. But this past week, I’ve been constantly in front of my computer or television watching the Olympic games. When I’m not working…I’m watching the Olympics. When I’m not sleeping…I’m watching the Olympics. I’m pretty sure that my body is paying the price for my unusual behavior. I mean, during the afternoon hours, I can feel my eyes start to twitch from being glued to my monitor and the rest of my body shutting down from lack of sleep.

Good thing the Olympics are only a few weeks every four years because I don’t know if my body can take much more than this. And it doesn’t help that the games are so exciting. Michael Phelps’ races alone are worth staying up late and watching…without taking into consideration all the other events going on.

Watching the Olympic games makes me want to go to Beijing. Of course, I’ve always wanted to plan a vacation to go visit Beijing one of these days, but watching the games on television, makes my desire to go even stronger. So…who wants to go…? Anyone?
