Olympics

Generally I had a great day today. Took a 10-mile bike ride with Pete, played with Louie a lot, went to the dentist...?

While at the dentist, we were talking about the Olympics. First of all, it amazes me that people like Olympian athletes exist. When I was three, I wanted to try and do everything- one minute I would be reading a book, five minutes later I would want to play with Barbies, and then later that evening I would be digging in the dirt. My parents put me in organized sports - volleyball, basketball, softball, soccer - but I was pretty miserable at all of them (besides v-ball). What I'm trying to say is that I NEVER was into one thing for too long of a time. How these little kids are okay with training eight and nine hours a day - for YEARS - is beyond me.

But anyways. Fun to watch. BUT the thing that REALLY upset me today was the news story about the two little girls - "one pretty, one 'not so much'", as one news article titled it, totally floored me. In a bad way. What a horrible example! Makes me wanna gag.
