Addicted

I have been meaning to update the blog for a few days now, but because of an addiction to the Olympics, I have been unable to. I find myself at the computer constantly checking for updates. At night, the computer comes upstairs and I lay in bed watching the events from the night before.

Last February, I cancelled our television package. It took a while for the kids to even realize we didn't have TV anymore. Well, after 6 months I am realizing it. We do have Sling Box which allows us to watch American TV via the computer. We can record things and watch them when we want. That is why in the evenings, I get to see the events from the previous day.

Since the Olympics have started, I have probably watched more TV than I have all year long. I don't know if it is because we are living abroad that I am so into the Olympics this year, or if it is just that exciting. Maybe it is a combination of both.

What is really embarrassing is that I find myself yelling and screaming at the computer, even when I know the results. The good thing about this addiction is that it is only for a short time every two years. I guess it could be worse.

By the way, my sling box is not working right now. It is amazing what is getting done today!
