Happy Olympics!

Lol, sorry my figure skating week turned out to be a bust. I mean I did have two nice guest posts, though, right?

I meant to review a book I haven't finished and do a Thursday Thirteen on the skaters for today...but, I don't know. Remember how I wrote that thing about realizing my blog was never going to be what it used to be? Apparently that's something I need to relearn everyday. I don't understand how I can still misjudge time so much.

But on the bright side, I got to go see Andrew Peterson tonight! Some of you who have been with me for a long time know Andrew is my favorite singer/songwriter, in a way that like...no one else will ever be. I always want to try to find a way to put it into words, but I still haven't and it's a relationship that is still evolving? (I mean my relationship to his music) It was a wonderful time that made my heart feel like bursting with joy and I also cried a lot. That's just the way these things go. I first discovered his music when my heart was all tender and shattered and I went to see another singer and I dragged my brother with me (lol) and he was opening and the rest is history. Maybe some of you have an artist you feel this way about, too! I always feel so refreshed and inspired and comforted in the deepest way, which was something I really needed right now.

Anyway, the Olympics start today and they should be fun! I hope you get a chance to enjoy them!

I won't be watching but I'll be thinking about you when I see the coverage in the newspaper.

aw I forgot you don't like them! :(
I know what you mean, I wrote out a post about my ten favorite skaters/teams, but I never edited it or finished the pictures that were supposed to go with it, so... oh well! It's amazing to me that I used to be able to churn out content regularly, like where did that ability disappear to??

Anyway, I'm glad you had a great time, and I'm exciteddd to watch the Olympics plus complain about the results to you, I'm sure, lol.

aw that's sad I would have enjoyed reading it! You could still do it...I mean the Team event is pretty limited..

yay Olympics!
I can totally relate to your love of Andrew Peterson. My mom got me tickets to see Stephen Curtis Chapman for my birthday a year ago, and I was more excited to see Andrew than Stephen, even though I've loved him for years. I totally embarrassed my daughter, because when Andrew said, "I'm also an author and have written a children's book series called The Wingfeather Saga," I screamed like the fangirl that I am. I was the only person who did. My 15-year-old (at the time) daughter was not amused.

Yessss AP fans get each other like no other fans I've ever known in my life. lol it's a special kinship and instant bond! I'm glad you're one, too!

btw he sang Invisible God with Rich Mullins' "Everywhere I Go I See You" and it was the prettiest thing everrrrrr (I think the Rabbit Room was doing a Rich Mullins cover album I wonder what ever happened to that...)
Normally I am really excited about the Olympics. This year I am kind of hesitant, I guess. So much drama all ready! I will probably still watch...

it's true...I guess I did a lot of homework to prepare for the figure skating so I feel more into it and invested than I would normally. But you're right there's def a lot of drama going on....
So excited about the Olympics!!!
How fun for you to go see Andrew Peterson!
