The games have begun! The Olympic games, that is. It is the 4th day of the games, and already a lot has happened. I watched our US women's volleyball team beat Japan's team on Saturday, three games to one... the third game was neck and neck...quite exciting! Kerri Walsh and Misti May-Treanor were great as always beating Japan on Saturday and Cuba on Monday (2-0 versus Cuba). Wahoo! I saw a little bit of rowing too on Saturday which is interesting. Swimming has been fun to watch as well. Phelps has three golds so far in this Olympics. Natalie Coughlin won the gold in the 200 free last night and another US teammate won the bronze in that race. They have started the gymnastics too. It's good to see how the US men's team is doing considering Paul Hamm had to pull out because of an injury. Let's hope they all do well. The ladies team final is tonight so hope our ladies do well too. I also have watched a little badminton, which I think I forgot was an Olympic sport.
Hope you got to see at least a little bit of the opening ceremonies on Friday night. The reason for my title is that, in my opinion, the fireworks they had, especially at the end, were all red and yellow which you all know of course are China's colors. They were pretty, though. And everything else that I saw was pretty neat.
Church service was quite cool this last weekend as we had communion, a little differently. I think maybe we should do it that way more often. Psalm 139 was spoken on which was cool as I remember that from Women's Bible study.
Work this week is busy with month-end. I won't go into Monday (yesterday) as it was totally a Monday ( it did start out well, though). Today was a lot better. Month-end isn't 'yucky' unless you are working on a report frustrated because it doesn't balance the way it should, or you are just doing something that you don't look forward to doing that isn't all fun. Work is supposed to be work, though. (Profound, I know.)
Oh, and one more thing! I went out with Care on Sunday late afternoon/evening. We went to a few places and ate dinner at a nicer place (thanks Care for offering the 'loop'). It was another 'loverly' time with a dear friend!
Okay, I hope you have a good rest of the week.
