1. If you could compete in one Olympic event (not necessarily winter sports) what would it be?
The gymnastics floor routine...."After all it's not gymNICEtics."
NO seriously, ice skating with partners. That is just beautiful!!!

Well I have to say that since yesterday is technically the past and the day before that even more so....the married Chinese ice skaters were flawless! They truly looked as one. And of course I watched every moment Michael Phelps was on!!!
3. Have you ever known anyone who competed in the Olympics?
Yes, at our very first WOVEN Ministries event an Olympic diver, who has been on a Wheaties box, shared some of her testimony and spoke on our Identity in Christ. When you are an olympian you are wrapped up in that identity and must conform to their expectations which easily leads to an identity crisis. She shared her life then and now with us all. She was AWESOME!!!! And so it is when you

Oh I feel your pain when a favorite restaurant closes or changes management. Wow, he doesn't have a family member to take over? Too bad.
I enjoyed your funny answers.
My kids might say we need to share the podium on #11 : )
Olympics sounds interesting. I have to go over and see. Enjoy the restaurant before it closes. ~ Yoli :)
Make that three moms on the lecture circuit! Enjoyed reading.
Competitive Procrastination. I'll think on that and get back to you later.
LOL about procrastination! I might give you some competition there.
I love ice skating, too, and I watched all of Michael Phelps' moments in the last Olympics.
Chel,
What a great list and learning even more about you. I too, love ice dancing. I think that would have been my Olympic event.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
Enjoyed all of your answers. We shared the same answer on where we would like to go. To walk in His footsteps... Wow, you can't get much better than that!
until next time... nel
PS: The I Won...You Win Carnival is going on this week in my little corner of blog land. Come and check it out if you want a chance at The Traveling Book.
you and I could so hang out...you talk like i do...
what the dickens does that man mean retiring?!!
hope you find anew place
bless your heart...just had to throw that in :)
My kids would give me a gold medal for laughing at my own jokes. They constantly remind me I do this.
I could be a pro at procrastination too!
I've set up two couples...happily married, kiddos, etc. I'll just toot my own horn now, HA!
We love it out here in this part of Texas. My Cowboy and I are both from small towns. So now we are steppin' in the BIG city. I had to drag hubby out of the sticks. I hope he never wants to get the idea to go back, ugh!! LOL!!!
I feel similar to you Chel in sleeping late. As much as I enjoy it, I always regret it because the day whips by so much faster.
Really enjoyed your answers. I've missed a few weeks of Random Dozen but glad to be back for this special edition - lol
Have a wonderful week & hope the sadness over your favorite restaurant subsides soon ;-)
Love your past Olympic memory. I just saw a glimpse of them and they did look flawless.
# 11 funny!
You should go ask the chef if he'll share his recipe. Just gush over it and promise not to share it and give it a try. Wish I had done that with my chef that moved on. :(
I enjoyed reading your answers! I too would have to accept a medal from my kids in lecturing. So sorry your favorite restaurant is closing. So not fair.
