All that's Green and Gold
* Aussies in the Lead
I so can't wait to see the Olympics. It's kind of strange, despite being so unsporty, I've really been looking forward to the games this year. Maybe it's more because I'm four years older. I understand things a bit better, and besides the ceremonies are getting better and better all the time ;) Eveyrone I've heard from that's seen it has said the opening ceremony was really good. I'm glad. The Greeks deserve it since they've worked so hard.
Because we dont' have TV I havent had a chance to see any more than the photos on the Olympic website, but our Grandma is taping them for us like last time. She's such a legend! I was just chatting with her on the phone tonight and she said she's taping the program from 9:00am to 3:00pm that covers all of the events of the last day. The first couple of videos with the opening ceremony and first days should come in the mail this Thursday *dances*
I was just on the athens2004.com website and so far the Aussies have the most medals *grin* We're neck 'n' neck with the Chinese with 5 golds (one being Ian Thorpes). Then we've got 1 silver and 3 bronze. I was telling Josh and he was like, "Suckers!"
* Off to the Daintree
I think I mentioned that it was Mum and Dad's 25th wedding anniversary this year some while ago. Well, they're finally being able to go away! (yes, I know that last sentence has horrible grammar. Don't eat me Tevvie.) They were hoping to go overseas (say, Vanuatu or such), but by the time it rained some (Dad didn't want to leave the station whilst it was still badly in drought) and they were able to find a set of dates that worked there wasn't going to be enough time for them to get passports and visas. Pity, but oh well. They're now going to this gorgeous place up in the Daintree rainforest for a week! Back when they got married Mum and Dad traveled around Australia. They didn't manage to make it to the Draintree forest up north, though. So, what better than their 25th wedding anniversary to finish off the trip?
<-- cool, hey? They're gonna be up in this tree house in the tops of the trees and they're gonna have a jacuzzi on their balcony! I remember when Mum and I were first looking over their site and we were reading down the list of stuff included. There was all of the usual stuff like: Air-conditioning, Ensuite bathroom, Satellite TV, CD Player, Free in-house movies etc. Then right on the bottom was "Umbrella". Of course we first cracked up, but then it kind of makes sense. It would rain heaps in the daintree, but I dunno...it was just so funny. Just how many places do you see provide ya your own umbrella?!
Anyhow, they're leaving on Thursday (mail day!) for ten days. Rachel is coming up from Sydney to hang-out with us until they get back. It's gonna be so much to have her up for a week. Movies. Movies. Food. Rollerblading. Sleep. Food. Computer. Movies. Movies. Movies. Olympic Opening Ceremony. More food. Giggle time because we're sure to be lacking sleep by this time. Another Movie. Food. Sleep. Jump in Lumbies to wake ourselves up. Sleep. Food. Talk. Food. Food. Movies. More Olympics. Lyd has to take her saliva test somewhere in here. More food. I'm sure you get the idea ;)
