I’m officially giving up on the 30 Day Meme. The rest of the prompts require way too much thinking… also, L-A-Z-Y.<\/p>\n

So what have I been doing? Mmm… watching WAY too much Olympics coverage. I’m an Olympics junkie. I’ll watch anything that NBC “packages” up in primetime — speed skating, alpine skiing, luge, etc. And of course, I’m following figure skating! I follow individual men’s and women’s skating more closely than I do the other disciplines but I’m really happy that Shen\/Zhao won pairs despite the almost-spill on their lift in the free skate. They’re the total package — they have the tricks and the artistry. Which brings me to the men. I can’t believe Plushenko is the leader going into the free skate. He is ALL jumps and no artistry. There’s no real choreography or footwork between jumps — he’s just skating around doing as little as possible until the next jump. I much prefer Evan Lysacek (despite the questionable arm-flailing he does in his programs), Daisuke Takahashi, Stephane Lambiel (his spins!), and Jeffrey Abbott (too bad he imploded in the short program). I hope they all have amazing free skates on Thursday and overtake Plushenko. A girl can dream.<\/p>\n

This past weekend was Valentine’s Day and Rob and I celebrated by…<\/p>\n

1. Going to Starbucks<\/a>. LOVE their Valentine’s Day cups. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

2. Taking Diesel to the park. He’s in desperate need of a haircut, LOL.<\/p>\n

3. Watching the NBA All-Star festivities (the slam dunk contest, which I normally enjoy, was laaaame) and the Olympics (again, figure skating!).<\/p>\n

4. Renewing our Disneyland<\/a> annual passes. We decided that this would be our annual Valentine’s Day present to each other. YAY!<\/p>\n

5. Looking at model homes and going back and forth (and back and forth) about the pros and cons of buying a townhouse versus single family, new versus resale, now versus later, etc. It’s kinda stressing me out. Seriously, the home buying process is not fun.<\/p>\n

Off to watch more Olympics. Speed skating tonight! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
