Although I had planned on doing a lot of work this past weekend, on Sunday I decided not to do any work and just relax. Kristin and I generally cram as much as we can in to every day because we work so many hours and always have a ton of personal stuff that we want to do. It was a nice change not doing anything. I've decided to take this whole week and just relax after work; then get back in to the full swing of things next week.
It's pretty funny when I compare what I think is relaxing to what a normal person does in a day. For example, when I say I'm going to relax this whole week, that means I'm going to wake up at 6:00a, get ready, go to work, get home at 8:00p, then relax. This morning, I didn't feel well (starting to get a cold), so I decided to sleep for an extra two hours. Knowing that I slept for an extra two hours made me feel like I was going in to work very late. But, I still got in to work the same time as the rest of the world (9:00a), and even with leaving at my normal time, I worked two hours longer than the rest of the world.
Anyway, I've been watching the olympics every night, and the tv just doesn't do it justice. Watching the speed skaters, they really don't look like they're going too fast. Today, I found out that every single one of them skates over 30 miles per hour! I can't imagine what it would be like to actually skate that fast. It must be amazing to be in Torino watching the events in person.
