Fridays are normally Greatest Hits (i.e. rerun posts) here at GFE but today I wanted to do a quick Olympic news roundup today instead. Between many of you awesome readers and my trusty Google reader, I have a whole (metaphorical) pile of Olympic stories that I keep meaning to blog about and haven’t had time to get to. But the Olympics are almost over and there are so many things to talk about! So here it is, quick and dirty:

In college I had a coworker tell me she fed her family of 5 for less than a dollar a day. My first reaction was to be impressed because I as a single girl couldn’t feed myself for a dollar a day much less anyone else. But then I remembered that this was the same woman who believed me when I told her at the company Christmas party that I had made the sugar cookies with the Santa face in the middle by painstakingly tinting three different colors of dough, shaping Santa Claus by hand and then rolling it all up into a log before cutting and cooking them.

Eating with me can be a surreal experience, for so many reasons. My friends, in a testament to their generous ability to overlook my flaws, put up with a great deal from me with nary a comment. But a few days ago I was reminded of my, er, quirks when I had a friend over for lunch. “It’s like we’re having a tea party with our dolls! Fun!” she exclaimed cheerily. “But do you think I could at least have a real spoon?”

Item the first: I am miserably sick. I did not one, but two workouts today. (Note: Not deathly sick. And I don’t think I’m contagious – it’s a sinus-y thing where my ears pop every time I swallow and my head spins thereby making me chronically off balance. I’m sure I was a treat to watch doing P90X yoga and Hip Hop Hustle.)

I’m not only dedicated to the improvement of one’s body and health, but am also a very passionate advocate and living example of the importance of continually challenging oneself both mentally and intellectually.
