Olympic Fatigue and other Random Thoughts

• I have Olympic Fatigue. Definition: Extreme exhaustion and tiredness that results from consecutive late nights of staying up to watch the Olympics. Your eyes start to close and you tell yourself "it's only once every four years!" and you force them back open.

• I am in LOVE with The Nesting Place blog. Her decorating ideas are cute and simple and I feel like I get to read a decorating magazine for free when I read her posts. As soon as I can get myself and Charlie out to the fabric store, I'm planning my very own mistreatments for the bathroom.

• I was finally cleared for exercising this week by my doctor. So I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in about six months. I went to a class called Body Step and it was so great. I really work out a lot better in a class format... and who did I think of to motivate myself when I almost pooped out on the push-ups? Shawn Johnson. :)

• I feel sort of like I'm in Beijing since its raining and I'm watching the Olympics and its raining there too.

• I haven't finished painting my Timeless Taupe, but I'm getting close! I at least got the main parts of the room finished so I could put furniture back in its place and hang pictures. I will post pictures when I'm finished!

• And how could I not have this big post without at least one picture... :)
