Hump Day Distractions

No need to speak Ryan. Just let me look.

Well it was bound to happen folks. Somewhere between the uneven bars and the 100M dash, I hit my Olympic wall. On Sunday night, the rigor of sitting on my ass watching hours upon hours of other people being athletic finally took it's toll and I conceded to my exhaustion, retreating to bed earlier than I have in ages. Thankfully, I awoke Monday feeling rested and super motivated to face the week so I'm running full speed over today's hump like THIS GUY.  Join me as we sprint to the finish of this week!!

* According to THIS, I am the physical equivalent of Ms. Britt Goodwin (sign me up for the GB Handball team!?)  

* It isn't called the XXX Olympiad for nothing!  

* Football fandom taken to a level of adorable that's impossible to beat (an especially "awww moment" at the :45 mark) 

* And while we're saying "awwww"...  

* THIS seems pretty freakin brilliant (also, delicious)  

* New Yorkers are a special breed of beautiful (and I love it; be sure to read the captions) [viaCupofJo] 

* Judd Apatow seems to have nailed it again. Always a good sign when you're laughing out loud at the trailer.

* I must erect a warning. This link is a real weiner.

I have a lochte on my mind right now...

London love. Olympic fever.

I'm having a bit of trouble here folks. You see, I am apparently an Olympics addict. I've been absolutely glued to my tv for hours EVERY night, spewing facts about synchronized diving, analyzing flip turns and rating vaults. Ever since that torch reached London I've been in rare television-viewing form. It's awesome for Team USA (because obviously they can feel my unwavering support) but reeking havoc on everything else (why sleep when I can watch whitewater kayaking highlights on channel 723!?) Thankfully for all of you, I managed to pull myself away just long enough to show you this totally adorable way to make your kiddo / niece and nephew / friend who's young at heart smile:

Don't bug me, it's snack time.

And this AWESOME and easy way to kick your pretzels up a notch:

Spicy Pretzels

And what better way to honor the Olympics' Greek heritage than with this amazing Greek 5-layer dip?

Who says five layer dips are only
for Mexican? Go Greek!

More calories than the entire women's gymnastics team ate today?

Fuel for a Gold Medal in couch sitting.

The reality is, I'm not going to be able to fully focus until they extinguish that flame.

Watching the Olympics can be EXHAUSTING!
