Mood: Hyper (my coffee
must have been strong today) and Irritated (why oh why does the housekeeper
feel the need to come at a different time everyday and be here when I have to
pick up my youngest from the bus stop???)

Hello Everybody. I hope you’re
all having a lovely week. Things around chez Gainedi have settled back into a
steady routine. No, I don’t speak French, but yes, I do like using random
foreign words. That’s just how I roll. Anyhow, we’re all just hanging out
living life and waiting for our upcoming trip to Hyderabad in a few weeks. Even
though my mother in law taught me to cook Indian food, her food still blows
mine out of the water and I can’t wait to eat at her house.
If anyone is interested, I’m starting
a series over at Following the Masala. It’s called “What the Hell India?” I came up with this after writing an article for the A-Z challenge this past April. You can read it here if you'd like. I've been having a little bit of difficulty coming to terms that the country I’ve
chosen to live in has some rather serious human rights problems in spite of
this country being also in the 21st century. So we’ll explore some
of the local events and issues that make me shake my head. Should be good fun.
In other news – I’m sick of
hearing about the Olympics. There, I said it. Feel free to throw unpatriotic
stones at me, I don’t really care. I’m just not interested. I can appreciate
the athletics, agility and grace required to do the amazing things they do, I
just don’t feel like working myself all up into a lather to watch it. If that’s
your cup of tea, drink up, just stop blog/twitter bombing everything with
Olympic references. I’m seriously considering taking a Twitter hiatus because
of this.
Speaking of taking a hiatus, I
have been completely overwhelmed with blogs lately, and it’s not even writing
on my own, which I’m sure has been evident. I think I’ve finally reached the
upper limit of what I’m willing to read every day. There is simply too much
talent on the Internets. Rest assured people, I may not always have the get up
and go to comment on every blog I follow, but I am definitely reading them.
I think I’m going to leave it
here for now. I’ll hopefully be back tomorrow with a blog post that is more
inspired and funny. Right now, I’m all like “just stay on the damn horse, cause
god knows if you fall off you may never get back on.” With that being said,
have a great day.

I know, it gets so hard to ready all the ones you like and comment, when you keep finding new ones you like :) I gotta stop picking up new blogs!
I'm not a big Olympics watcher, either. But I'm not a big sports fan, in general, so that's no surprise.
I'm not a real fan of the Olympics either. :/ I agree on the talent and the sportsmanship that they show.
So many blogs, so little time. That's why I only write a couple a month. It's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :p
The local coverage of the Olympics here has only been focused on the swimming. I don't like watching swimming, but I haven't really been paying attention to any of the other sports. All a bit meh really
@Rusty - I like your way of thinking. I think the thing that got me the most about this was that I am finding it hard to have time to write because I'm reading way too many. I may have to go through and audit a smidge.
@Gossip Grl - I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I feel like the whole world has fallen down an Olympics rabbit hole and I'm still standing here wondering what the hell happened.
Kianwi - That's how I came to be in this situation in the first place. Too many awards floating around, which makes me think that I should be reading those blogs too, because someone recommended them!
I guess that's why I'm not so enthusiastic about the Olympics. Watching sports (beyond an occasional cricket match or football game) just isn't my thing.
