2008 Olympics Here We Come

I KNOW I haven't been posting in such a looooooong time, but things have just been really hectic the past few weeks.

My job has been outsourced, I've been running back and forth between unemployment offices, brushing up and sending out my resumés, getting interviewed, and most recently, gotten rid of living flies and maggots (ewww!). There's nothing more disgusting than insects. Especially flies and moths. Last year we had problems with moths and now this year it seems to be flies. I'm still disgusted by it all so maybe I'll touch up on this subject at a later date.

Actually, with the 2008 Olympics in Beijing coming up in less than a month, I am so excited to finally be posting about Alex Orlando! She's 21 and competing in Rhythmic Gymnastics for CANADA! Woohoo! I used to compete alongside her (she was a level below me) and so it's quite exciting to actually KNOW someone who's going to the Olympics. There have been other Canadian girls whom I've known in the past competing at the Olympics in Rhythmic Gymnastics, but there is something really special about Alex. She's got a great personality, beautiful, and just really great in the sport. She's even made it to the cover of Canadian's magazine CHATELAINE! The cover article talks about the history of women in the Olympics, and also includes Alex (in the middle).

Here are a few pictures of what I like to call, the Olympic Campaign for Alex!
I'll be posting her videos soon.
