still caught up

Guys, I'm still caught up in the Olympics.


         


and I actually have lots and lots of stuff to post, I just haven't had the time, but I promise it's comin real soon!

The Closing Ceremonies in REAL TIME

I got glasses. You'll see them in a couple of seconds. And I had something happen to me for the first time today. I lost my glasses. But they were actually on my head. Way to make me feel old. I already have to say, "wait a second let me take out my glasses because I can't read without them." I'm seriously a grandma.

As you should all be well aware of by now, I LOVE the Olympics. And tonight was the closing ceremonies. And because I recently realized that 95% of the music that I have been listening to lately is all British people, my heart was overflowing with joy at thought of listening to some of them sing!

And I would have loved to watch it with all of you, but I couldn't, obvioulsly, but I decided to take pictures/ my sisters took pictures of my reaction to everything that's gone on so far. I actually stopped watching them after the Spice Girls, so there's about an hour I have to watch later.

get ready to see a WHOLE BUNCH of loveliness. This is my reaction to the Closing Ceremonies of the Olympics in (almost) REAL TIME.

 "Did you know the Spice Girls are going to be performing at the Olympic Closing Ceremonies?"

my reaction:

"and One Direction is going to be singing too. And Ed Sheeran."

my reaction:

"that lady's wearing grandma shoes."

my reaction:

"Is that Peter Pettigrew?"

my reaction:

"PRINCE HARRY!"

my reaction:

"Did that car just blow up and Batman and Robin come out of it?"

"why aren't they Christian Bale and Joseph Gordon-Levitt?"

my reaction:

"There is an old man wearing a skirt and playing a saxophone flying in the air."

my reaction (there was some snorting):

*disclaimer. before the next series of photos, I think it is important to tell you that, even though I did listen to One Direction everyday at the beginning of the summer, I took them off my playlist and haven't been listening to them for about a month. I was slowly getting myself off of the One Direction train, but that all fell apart because I just couldn't help myself. I am not ashamed of these next pictures. 

"I can't wait to see One Direction."

my reaction:

"Oh I see them!!!! Look there's Louis!!! and Harry and Zayn and Liam and Niall! Their clothes look SO good!"

my reaction:

"oh my gosh I do feel beautiful!"

"wait. Where's Harry's solo?"

my reaction:

"Look! USA! USA! I just love their white Ralph Lauren outfits. I wish I was an olympian so I could wear those outfits."

my reaction *Imagining myself as an olympian*:

"John Lennon and people signing "Imagine" seriously touched my soul."

my reaction:

"OOO Sparkly dresses. OOO Nathan Adrian. OOO Sparkly dresses."

my reaction *big eyes (that's about as big as my eyes can get):

"Look it's Ed Sheeran! I love that red head!"

my reaction:

"You go Jessie J! 'Everybody look to the left...'"

my reaction:

"Tinie Tempah and I are homies. Isn't it obvious?"

my reaction:

and at this moment I think I was even more excited than I was when I saw One Direction. 

*High pitched scream

"SPICE GIRLS!"

my reaction:

*dancing montage*

"so here's the story from a-z...

"if you want my future forget my past..."

"so don't go wasting my precious time..."

"zigazig ah."

I think the Spice Girls should be together forever.

Can that just be a law?

The Spice Girls always need to be together as a group.

Oh and I think the only person hotter than Victoria Beckham is David Beckham. #girl crush.

"oh my goodness they're singing Wonderwall! Memories!"

my reaction:

and then a whole bunch of cultural dancers came out and a guy in a Storm Trooper costume and I decided it was time to go to bed. 

That's it. The Olympics Closing Ceremonies according to Erica.

the best thing. ever.

Today watching the 4x200 men's relay was INCREDIBLE. The WHOLE time they were 3 or 4 seconds ahead of everybody. WE WON GOLD. And a series of great things happened:

1. I fell off the back of our couch. It kind of hurt, but it was funny.
2. They had an interview and they were all standing thereand they were so happy and talking and my mother said the best thing I have ever heard her say.I quote THIS IS A DIRECT QUOTE "Let's be honest, none of them are bad looking." Mom for the win!
3. Lara said, "I couldn't really pay attention to what they were saying because they were not wearing shirts... and their muscles...were talking too loudly... and their arms...ok."
I concur.

That's all.

I love the Olympics.

blog posts about vacation take a really long time, so that's why I've been slacking. (but it will get done, I promise!)

In about 3 weeks I get to see my lovely roomies again! I am so excited I can't even explain it! I miss them so much. There is some much needed talk, Cafe Rio, and sleepover time that is looooooong over due.

I'm ready to start listening to Christmas music again.

S'mores are the perfect way to celebrate birthdays. And you can't eat them without getting them all over your face. If it's not on your face, you're not enjoying it enough.

I LOVE THE OLYMPICS!!!!

they're pretty much the most exciting thing to watch. ever. at work, I always check to make sure we're still winning. 

My favorite things to watch are swimming and beach volleyball with Misty May and Kerri Walsh. Talk about uhmazing!

and last but not least, I think we need to have a moment of silence. TODAY IS THE GREATEST DAY IN ALL HISTORY!

Today is the birthdate of the one, the only, HARRY POTTER!

to the boy who lived and made the wizarding world safe for all of us.

and methinks another thank you/ happy birthday is in order. 

J.K Rowling

has the same birthday as Harry Potter, crazy, huh?

so, happy birthday to the master of the words that made the true magic.

well, off to Diagon Alley to go buy my school books!
