London Olympics 2012. Are you watching?

The summer Olympics are one of my favorite things to watch. When it's on, my tv channel really doesn't change. My favorite event is gymnastics. I was in gymnastics when I was little, so I have a fondness for the event. That being said, let me say Congrats to Gabby! You are awesome! Good for you! Congrats to the Women's team too! Team Gold..amazing!  I just finally watched the opening ceremonies. I know, I am a week late, I swear we have been busy. We actually watch half the events at like 2 in the morning.  I thought the ceremony was cool. I really wanted to see it because I had heard that it wasn't that great.  After watching it, I agree, it was no Beijing. That being said, it was about their culture and history, not Beijing culture and history, so how can you compare them? I thought that the forging of the rings was neat, and I liked the part with the children, showing their dreams and nightmares. Last but not least, how can you not laugh at Mr. Bean? What did you think about the ceremonies? What is your favorite event?

Also, has everyone seen this yet? I can't get it out of my head! I know that there have been like a million different versions of this, but I thought it was a good one!

Where have I been?!

Why hello there! Long time, no see, or read, I guess. I know that I have been a complete disappointment to my blog followers! I deserve a serious time out! What have I been doing you ask? Well, let's see. My last blog was probably in January. Since then, we have moved into a new house. I would like to say that this has been the reason that I have flaked out on this site. The real reason, is that I found out I was pregnant with twins the day before we moved. Bam! How about that!  I know, I couldn't believe it either! I was supposed to be due in October, but they ended up coming out at 24 weeks. Oh no! Right now they are in the NICU, and will be there, god willing until October. After that we can take them home, and the real fun begins! I can't wait! I promise that I will start blogging again very soon, maybe even this week. You might start to see some mommy type stuff on here, and some kid friendly stuff too. I promise to you though, I will be back with some delish desserts, and other fun stuff! I missed you all!
