On Wednesday I leave for NY for 10 days. I work for two days, spend two days at Blogher, spend 4 days vacationing with my family and then work for two more days.
I packed this afternoon and probably should have gone to bed early but: OLYMPICS so OBVIOUSLY it's midnight oh seven and I'm just starting to think about going to bed.
At ten my husband gave me a hug and a kiss and the look and said, "You're going to be gone for a long time."
"BUT.." I pointed to the TV, "Michael Phelps, the Fab 5..."
He rolled his eyes and walked out of the room.
He came back a moment later yawning.
He handed me the remote control. "I'm going to bed." he told me.
"If I come to bed, are you too tired?" I asked.
"No." he said. "I am DEFINITELY NOT TOO TIRED."
PEOPLE, technology is WONDERFUL.
Because I hit the pause button on the remote control and for the next 13 minutes my husband and I made Olympic history in the team SHAGGING event.
I performed a perfect double.
The Russian judge gave our technique a 10.
It was fabulous.
When it was over I told him, "9.6"
"I thought it was a 3" he said, "two for you, one for me."
I laughed and went downstairs to fast forward through the commercials.
BEST OLYMPICS EVER.
Simply, I love it.
Heck, the Olympics that you're watching is on a tape-delay, anyway, why not just delay things just a bit.
Sounds like you had a good degree of difficulty, with minimal deductions (but, let's face it, there will always be a few deductions granted . . . just so that there's room to claim that the next time is even better)
