How awesome!!!! Seriously gymnastics was NOT my forte. I was a ballet dancer for years (hard to believe I was in pointe shoes ever!) but I was always soooo taken with the gymnastics ladies of the olympics. I tend to be weird though and I’m not a fan of the super buff girls we sometimes get. I prefer the athlete who are both strong and also elegant/musical. I think that’s why i like that Gabby!

LOVE the sport.

Funny to think how oridnary she looks. She could have sat next to me on my last flight and to think she was horsing around in the bathroom. What a crack up.

And you must be after my heart with the gymnastics. I spent much of my childhood and adolescent years in the gym as a competitive gymnast and still follow the sport like a lunatic. I had planned on going to San Jose to watch the trials live, but being just a few weeks before my due date (plus the plan to birth at home) scared me enough to stay home. On the girls side, you should follow Gabby Douglas. She moved away from her family at 14 to live with another family so she could train with her coach (same coach who coached Shaun Johnson, who won silver last Olympics). She’s ubber talented but lacks a bit in the mental toughness. If she can put all her routines together, she should be in contention for a gold medal and overtake favorite Jordan Weiber. Anyway, I’m totally stoked to say the least. My husband asked me the other day to rate on excitement on the ten scale the other day and I had to give it an eight. My reason being that trials are alredy done and it’s one step closer to over. I’m rambling now…

Happy Friday.
