If only I could get on a skateboard without falling...

I've never really been a huge fan of skateboarding, but I would totally take it up if it meant I could have a super awesome house like this...LOVE it. 

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...but it's going to be 70* and rainy instead.

A Higher Calling...

I love him. 

A new low...

These kids are all under the age of 12, yet they're making phone calls on the behalf of the Devil and her Grandfather in CO. Yuck. That just bugs me for some reason.

Can't help myself...

I'm excited about the Olympics!!!

While reading the New York Times online this morning, I came across an article and these pictures of the new Olympic Stadium in Beijing. It's so cool! It's being called the "Bird's Nest" and I totally see why. It was designed by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, who also designed the Allianz Arena in Munich and is getting rave reviews. The stadium will be used for track and field and most important in my mind the opening and closing ceremonies. I love a parade...and fireworks and just about anything with singing and dancing. Bet you didn't know that! 

I know that there is much unrest over China and having the Olympics there, etc. but now that the Olympics are 3 days away, I can't help but get excited and am looking forward to them.
