Did this weekend go extra fast or was it just me?? We mostly spent our time watching Olympics, hanging with friends and family, running errands, and doing household chores (gardening, cleaning, organizing).

I've been enjoying the heck out of the Olympics. No matter how you feel about China, this is about the athletes and how hard they've worked to get there and it's been amazing. I love the cool stories (like the 33 year old gymnast who's competing for Germany) and people overcoming the odds (like our men's fine performance in the 4×100 free relay last night – this morning?). I'm so glad I stayed up late to watch it (though I might not have been so happy about it this morning).

This week is set to go by in a blur of packing, to-do lists, and preparations both at work and at home. Tonight we ran an errand for the trip and while we were in a certain neighborhood, we went to this amazing Asian grocery store. It had every type of Asian grocery imaginable and I'm so excited to go back when I have more time to look around and some recipes to make. What a find!

Hope you all had lovely weekends.
