So, I've been enjoying watching the Winter Olympics and all, but after watching them several times over the last week or so, I've decided that there are other things that should be considered Olympic sports. Since I'm not the most sports-oriented person, these are (I'm convinced) the only things I could win a gold medal in. Here is my list:
- Knitting - How would one judge this? How fast? Most finished objects? Or my personal favorite...most Cast on objects :) Most cast on objects...I'm pretty sure I could win at that ;)
- Vacuuming - I hate doing it, but if someone were to offer to give me a gold medal for fastest vacuum time, I could be convinced that it's a lovely thing to do and do it faster.
- Hauling Crap While Climbing Stairs - hands down, I would have the gold medal here. Our TV is located in our loft upstairs. We are non-traditional and don't usually sit down at the dining room table for meals...we prefer in front of the TV. Therefore, we must haul plates of food, drinks, knitting bag, etc. upstairs. I usually only want to make one trip. Therefore, I haul all of the above-stated items at one time. My husband and cat are usually awestruck by this feat of trying not to spill the drink or food or lose my fork. Personally, I think it helps me burn off whatever calories I'm about to ingest by hauling more ;)
- Hauling Groceries in the House - Right along with #3, I only want to make one trip from the car. So...whenever I've gone grocery shopping, I try to take the entire load in one trip. This means about 9 bags on each arm, the package of toilet paper being held only by my index finger in one hand (make a hole in the plastic for this and either a gallon of milk or case of Diet Coke in the other hand. You think I'm exaggerating....actually, I'm not!
