So can the Olympics be over now? I was all for them at the start, but now they are just making me feel bad about myself. I'm very happy that the athletes have mastered the arts of hard work and dedication, and I fully support their right to flaunt their goods, but as a normal gal who needs a breather after walking up three flights of stairs I've had enough. I've had enough of the triple back flips and the banana hammock divers. I've had enough of the headbutts and the trash talking. I've had enough of the perfect landings and the glittery boob smashing leotards. I want my daytime tv back. The kind of tv that says its okay that you had twenty Doritos for lunch and will probably have twenty more before dinner. So Olympic athletes, why don't you keep your flashy coordination skills and sixty watt smiles for someone who cares, like those twelve people who actually eat Wheaties.

PS All opinions expressed in the above post are humorous in nature and should not be construed as my own actual feelings except for the parts concerning my own inability to climb stairs sans breathers, my affection for daytime television, and the love I hold for Doritos. Also the part about wanting the Olympics to be over is true.
Hugs,
I love it! (LOL) I love it! (LOL) I smiled all the way through the first part but burst out laughing when I read the PS at the end. Did ya'll see what she did there? You should be opening for Louis C.K. on the comedy club circuit, Amber Girly Bird. I love your sense of humor and this time you really got me good. I agree with you that the Olympics are great but after the first few months of coverage you kinda get over it. Let's you and me circulate a petition to take back daytime TV. All Jerry Springer... all the time!

Ahaha! Oh my gosh, I couldn't help but giggle out loud when I read your rant. It's so true. I am the same way. Except I prefer to have cheese puffs for lunch, not Doritos. :P You look adorable! I actually own those shorts, but I don't look nearly as cute in them as you do. They're perfect with the striped tee.
ReplyDeleteMay the force be with you.

I totally LOL'd at this post. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI love your honesty. Every time I ask someone if they are following the Olympics, they stutter a bit!
ReplyDeleteXO,

Stripes and florals is one of my favorite mash ups! You are adorbs and remind me of Baby one the bridge, practicing her moves solo in Dirty Dancing. I think I told you this before, so you must just come to this bridge often...wearing shorts. Cute either way.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you on the olympics! I too was so into it for the first week. I'm just ready for normal shows to be on again. And 20 doritos? Psh, I can eat a whole bag in one sitting. Beat that! In fact, why can't that be a competition in the olympics?!
I almost forgot, I'm FINALLY having that giveaway I spoke about. You should totally enter! I mean, if you want to :)
Deletesuch a good post. i think i might be the only person in the UK who isn't all that bothered. i just see all their flat stomach's while cramming an entire bar of galaxy in my face and feel bad. and no show should make a person feel bad, that's just bad television.

DeleteI must admit I have watched very little of the Olympics, although I do love the swimming and tennis! Lookin' lovely in your floral shorts today Amber! ;)
ReplyDeleteEmma x
Haha I only love watch swimming, gymnastics, and track on the Olympics. The first two are pretty much over. And yes, I've detered myself away from the TV because of what's been going on lately. Haha but I love your floral shorts paired with the striped top! Love pattern mixing.

Love the combination of stripes and that print! Also, I know what you mean about the Olympics making you feel inadequate...I definitely get that feeling, especially when the athletes are my age or younger (damn that Gabby Douglas with her talent and winning smile!) but I still can't tear myself away from them!
ReplyDeleteyou are hilarious! those beach volleyball ladies make me feel pretty crappy about myself! i love this outfit on you, the shorts are so cute!
ReplyDeleteAll of the fun stuff to watch is over so i'm pretty ok with them being done with too.
ReplyDeletexoxo,

I caught you! you're mismatched. Maybe the Olympics has really got to you. Just kidding, I love mismatched looks! You're rocking those shorts. Did you lighten your hair. maybe I missed that post but please share!
ReplyDeleteI think a week is enough, hehe
ReplyDeletelol. Oh, what a funny post!
ReplyDeleteOh how funny. I love your sense of humour :D Also...totally loving the stripes/florals, it's a fav mix of mine!

You always entertain me, friend. I'm ready for them to be over, too, especially now that gymnastics are over. And girl, I REALLY love your outfit here. Like, so very much.
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely, your outfit is super cute! xo
ReplyDeleteme+you=doritolympics.
ReplyDeleteI love your hair in these pics. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I hate about not having my TV connected is that I can't watch the Olympics. But I'm also glad I can't watch it because I am pretty sure I would go insane. And that I probably wouldn't eat bread/rice anymore.
ReplyDeleteLURVE the shorts, Amber. And bleh to Wheaties forever.

I honestly don't pay any attention to the Olympics, I don't typically watch a lot of TV in general but yeah I feel like a total slacker when I hear about other peoples dedication to things. I dedicate my self very sparingly and that's usually just to chocolate, cats, shopping, sarcasm, and sex jokes. I gotta say I wish I looked as cute as you do in a pair of floral shorts, I'm not even sure why I buy shorts at this point, I usually just end up putting a pair of pants over them....
