Olympic Time
Welcome SITS friends, to my little corner of the blog o' sphere. I'm very excited to be selected as today's featured blogger. I look forward to sharing a chuckle or a perhaps an emotional connection in which you might say to yourself, "Are you kidding me, I look at the world in the same twisted way!" I know I've had that feeling reading your blogs and am continually amazed over all the things, we perfect strangers have in common.
4 years
2 1/2 weeks
An Hour
A Minute
A Second
A 10th of a Second
A 100th of a Second
All those years, all those weeks, all those hours devoted to being the best... A humbling thought that it all comes down to a minuscule increment of Time.
Tremendously humbling.
*I promise to keep the Olympic posts to a minimum but tonight I am so moved by all I've witnessed. From the devastatingly loss for Lolo Jones to the spectacular win by Shawn Johnson. I admit it, I'm an Olympic junkie.

Congrats on your SITS day! I must admit, that even though I had no intention of becoming this way - I am also an Olympics junkie.
Fabulous site!!! Looking forward to reading more posts... I LOVE the one below; what I wish I knew then.. ahh, if we could only...
Happy Wednesday!!
An Olympic medal may be out of reach for us, but you get kudos for being SITS FB for the day. Such an honor. Congratulations.
Congrats on being SITS blogger of the day! Enjoy all the comment love! I have been glued to the Olympics as well, so don't apologize for posting about it!
Congrats on being featured on SITS! I love the post below. I really wish I could have know then what I know now.
CONGRATS SITS GIRL!
Congrats to you my friend!
I cried when LoLo Jones lost, that was so sad...what a classy lady, to give that interview and own up to it not being her day rather than make excuses...It amazes me that these people give interviews seconds after they've lost and aren't just bawling their eyes out!
Did you see the guy, I think he was from Germany, but I could be wrong that won the weight lifting gold? Ugh! I cried my eyes out! I wanted him to win it so bad and he did..then he held up a photo of his wife who'd been killed in a car accident just that year when he won it...I bawled!
um...but if you tell anyone, I'll kick yer ass cuz everyone here just thinks my allergies were acting up. ;P
Stacie
Congrats on being SAUCY! I am SO with you on the Olympics - good thing they aren't on every year - my family might kick me out!
Congratulations!!! Oh, my! I had tears streaming down my face when Shawn won.... then they showed her parents and I lost it. Wow! I need a life. But I love the Olympics!!
Congrats girlee! Love your blog!
Hey there, SITSta! Is that a White Lab I see in your header? My SIL, Aunt Julie, has one named Moses. I've featured him a couple of times on my blog. You should stop in sometime and stay awhile!

Hi beautiful paper treehouse! Enjoy your sits day. I am a regular reader.
I've really loved watching the Olympics this year also. I think mainly because my older son loves watching it with me.
Congrats on your SITS day! I love your header picture and quote. Butt prints. hehe
BTW, your dog is gorgeous. Looks a little like my Annie, but hairier.
Congrats on being featured! :-)
Congrats on being a featured SITSA!
And, I'm a total Olympic junkie! I scared my poor dog with my whooping and hollering at the 1/100th of a second finish. Love it.
I am so there with you! Beijing or bust!
I am an Olympics addict too! I have stayed up many nights to watch them when I should be sleeping. I was so excited when Shawn Johnson won. Then when they showed her mom I started to cry . . I am a dork and I know it! these are the first olympics I have ever been into!
Hi there and congratulations!
Well, I don't watch TV BUT I made marsmallows!
You're right. It is very humbling.

Olympics ARE inspiring. I don't watch them nearly as much as I'd like....because I'd OBSESS too much, lol.
