WWTK Wednesday–Would you rather…

null

I’m linking up with Mamarazzi and Crazymama.

{one} WYR...have your own private jet or your own private island?
Have my own private jet. It can take me anywhere in the world – so I could go to remote islands without owning them.

{two} WYR...be very good looking or very smart?
Smart – looks can only get you so far. Not that I’d want to scare people away with my looks!

{three}WYR...have the ability to be invisible or the ability to fly?
The ability to be invisible.. I have my own private jet, hello… it can fly me. It has nothing to do with the fact that I’m scared of heights and if something isn’t around me – I panic!

{four} WYR...have the ability to read minds or control the weather?
Control the weather. I don’t want to know what people are thinking. I don’t want to hear people’s negative. That would be exhausting. If it were always positive, then maybe! Also, I’d be all for perfect weather, with occasional showers.

{five} WYR...be able to hear any conversation or take back anything you say?
Take back anything I say. Sometimes things come out that can really hurt people without even having the chance to think about how they’d react or how it sounds. So – I want to be able to do that. I don’t want to hear people’s conversations – there is too much gossip in this world, I’d never know what was true and what was not.. I’m better off not knowing!

WWTK Wednesday - Olympics edition :)

Happy Wednesday, ALL! How is everyone loving the Olympics?! Mamarazzi and Crazymama are asking all kinds of questions about the Olympics - let's see what I had to say!

(1) What was your favorite part of the Opening Ceremonies?

When the countries walk in. It's so interesting to see them all. Just the outfits alone make for some entertainment. Also, I always forget how many countries participate and I love when you see how proud the countries with only 2 or so competing are :)


(2) Which country are you rooting for? ( I realize we aren't all Americans)

I'm half German and half American, so I root for both. Depends on the sport. If Germany had actually made it with their soccer team, I would've rooted for them all the way. Swimming, I root for the USA - love me some Phelps, and also some Lochte.

(3) Which is your favorite event to watch and why?

Swimming - it's just so fast paced and you can see them all competing at the same time. It just keeps you on the edge of your seats. I also love gymnastics (Go USA girls :) ). I'm just a fan of it all - ask my boss, it's been on my computer all day Monday and Tuesday - I'm still working, sort of ;P

(4) Have you found a new sport that is surprisingly delightful?

Not necessarily new, but I've gotten into the beach volleyball and the synchronized diving. That synchronized diving is no joke, and very hardcore!

(5) Have you always been a fan of the Olympics? what is your earliest Olympic Memory?
 
The time I really remember is the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. Living here, I had the opportunity to attend baseball while it was still part of the Olympics. I also got to walk around Centennial Olympic Park and also partake in numerous festivities for the public. There were pins to collect, and just so much excitement :) After that they've kind of been a blur until 2008 - I really started paying more attention. This year I've been even more into it than I was then. I just LOVE competition. I get so invested.
 
Congrats to Michael Phelps for winning his 19th medal, making him the most decorated Olympian of all time.
 
GO USA!!! and GERMANY!!!
