Today is not going to be a good day. I'm wearing two different prescription of contacts and Target has yet to call about my order coming in. If I use one eye at a time, it's fine. But the difference is just enough that it makes me crazy. Do not be alarmed, I can still function as a fully sighted person, despite opposing contacts.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
Ignore your own skill and training limitations, which Olympic event would you like to participate in?
Love,

I do not function well with the limelight on me and that much pressure to perform and please. Lack of skill and training are not even my issues....I just would never seek out that kind of limelight. So my Olympic event would be water girl or ball girl. I could have a really cute and fun uniform (love all uniforms!) but nobody would really know who I am,except the people who rely on me to help them.
Jacob said last night that they should start including marching band in the Olympics. At first I claimed that the Aggies would mop the field in that event, but then I thought of the Chinese with their people-boxes and drummers and realized that even the Aggie Band would look dismal by comparison. Another gold for the Chinese.
I would love to do ryhtmic gymnastics. It seems like the right combination of atheletic dancing, posing and props.
Anne, perhaps there could be two divisions of marching band : military and regular. While I agree that China could win the military, USA would get all three medals for regular marching band.
Ice luge. Too awesome - so fast and so slick, daily practice would be like going on a theme park ride over and over. And having it all to yourself!
Groovysabrina has a pretty good idea about the ice luge. That would be a ton of fun, win or lose.
HA! Military and REGULAR marching band? I think you mean military and FOO FOO marching band.
At first thought, I think swimming.....then thinking about all the pressure and limelight.......I think not. I'm kinda like Anne.
Let me be a water girl or even
better a 'towel girl'! ha
Is anyone disappointed/disturbed about the fact that the little Chinese girl that sang the national anthem really was lip-syncing? That the real little girl singing was not 'cute enough'???
Hey, I love "foo foo" marching band. It has so much more capacity for creativity and emotion than rigid, pedantic, plays-only-marches military band.
If I could have changed one thing about my college choice, it would have been A&M with a regular marching band. I now confess, if not for my family's Aggie heritage, I probably would have gone to tu.
Kathleen,
Having spent my whole life not being "cute enough," I feel the pain!!
On the other hand, since I am now only electing politicians based on good looks, I get the whole thought process of "I only want good-looking people to represent me."
I'd go with Team Lacrosse. It's got the rough explosivness Americans seem to gravitate towards, as well as the precision and athleticism the rest of the world lauds. Highly fun to play, too. Plus you get to look awesome carrying a big stick.
Anne,
who is good looking enough to vote
for with the presidential election?
For me, neither!
Oops! That was me!

Rhythmic gymnastics or synchronized diving in the summer. Well maybe artistic gymnastics- but those girls are ALWAYS hurt, and I don't want that.
In the winter- figure skating! Without a doubt. I think I'd want to do pairs, but wouldn't complain if I won the gold in singles.
Did you know the ISU actually sanctions an adult competition in Obserdorf Germany? I'm going there someday!
Kathleen and the Asker,
I KNOW! Mr. Ken likes to point out that purple lips are NOT attractive!
Kristen, having attended both A&M and the other university, I have to say that there is a correlation between a FOO FOO band and a FOO FOO student body. And finally....GASP...ARG...WHAT?? Did your ring just burn into your flesh??
