In between hours of snoozing, sneezing, sniffling and being down-right miserable I've been trying to keep up with the Olympics - thank you TiVo. Here's a list of 5 things I love about the Olympics:
5. They happen only once every 2/4 years so they feel special.
4. I enjoy seeing/learning about the countries they take place in.
3. It's the only time I watch sports of any kind, outside of the Cowboys, so it's refreshing.
2. Learning fun names for tricks/moves in different sports, such as the "kickin' chicken" in snowboarding.
1. I find myself hoping and praying for the good performances of people I knew nothing about 5 minutes before - thanks to the 2-3 minute piece about their life story/bid for the Olympics.
