There’s a disease taking the country by storm, and I have fallen prey. The symptoms range from enthusiasm to exhaustion and it is often characterized by one or more of the following: staying up until midnight to watch Nastia and Shawn nail their floor routines (disregarding the fact that your alarm will sound in 6.25 hours), bookmarking NBCOlympics.com so you can check the medal count 15x a day, watching Michael Phelps every single time he gets in the pool, and getting very emotionally involved in all this tiebreaker/age/judging gymnastics controversy. I know I’m not alone in my suffering. On that note, I figured that many of you would enjoy this as much as I did when I found it:

O My Family in your email












Jake just told me about your blog, so I of course had to check it out. You are officially added to the list of blogging friends on our blog. I’ve been an Olympiholic as well…in fact, I’m watching it right now:).
I loved watching the Olympics with you guys, but ever since we lost the medal count, I just don’t care. *tear*
So, I am watching the Olympics while reading your blog. I’ll leave it to you to judge where I stand on the Olympiholic “scale”. But, umm…somewhere around Fanatical, zealous, and possibly egregious might be accurate.
I’m just sad that I’m not getting to watch the Olympics with some of my best friends…*tear*.
