Had a totally long day with first my chapter meeting then five hours on the road to take my mom home and drive back home myself. After dinner out with the hubby, I was pretty much toast. Just did a few essential e-mails and then watched Dara Torres and Michael Phelps swim. They are both so amazing. I wished Dara could have gotten just a little more out of her 50m swim to win the gold. Ironic that she lost the gold by 1/100th of a second, which is how much Michael Phelps won the butterfly by. And she was so close to catching the Aussies at the end of the relay, but she just had too much time to make up for the team. Still, a wonderful showing for the oldest woman in the pool.
And what can I say about Michael Phelps that hasn’t already been said? I couldn’t stay seated during the relay tonight. The USA guys did awesome, and once again Jason Lezak brought it home in awesome style. I kid you not, my phone rang during Lezak’s final leg of the relay. There was no way I was answering that call, and whoever it was hung up after a couple of rings. Must not have been important.
