4. Share something you learned in August.
My family spent a few weeks in August glued to the Olympics. While gymnastics might be my favorite to watch, volleyball will always have my heart. It has my husband’s heart too. In fact, many of you may not know this, but my husband was actually my coach for a year and I’ve coached with him for a couple of years as well. Needless to say, Pat knows what my talent is capable of so as we watched the indoor women play I asked him for an honest answer:
Me: Do you think if I were born in China, I could have been trained to make their Olympics volleyball team?
Pat: No…you’re too short for China’s team.
Me: Japan?
Pat: (Silent thought)
Me: The Philipines?
Pat: Now you’re getting closer…
And I was like, “I think they have might have a spot on their diving team for you too…”
In August I learned the only thing stopping me from being an Olympian is the fact that so many other people are more talented than me.

Do they have a margarita drinking event in the Olympics? I may qualify. I learned this in August…Thanks for hosting!

Lol. So funny. I was a volleyball player too and it’s my favorite sport to watch during the Olympics.

How does that DNA link up one way and you’re an Olympian? Another way you’re an opera star. Then there’s the rest of us mortals.

The athletes at the Olympics were simply fantastic. . I enjoyed watching swimming the most out of all the different games.

I had a nice time watching the Olympics as well. Track and Field events are my favorite. lol… at Pat’s response about being too short for the China’s team.

OMG you need to watch Ozzy Reviews – but it is a tad…ok a lot on the vulgar side…but he has an Australian accent so it makes it totally acceptable and really really hilarious – anyways, he does the review to those two men diving. I almost peed my pants watching it. Google it.

My favorite event of the Summer Olympics is men’s synchronized diving. Mostly because of the tiny swimsuits.
