Lol- I will join you all for a drink! Arent the girls going to watch (the sleepover?)? My gymnasts would not stand for that- they were all dragging at workout today because they stayed up until 1 am to watch the men. Tomorrow should be stellar- Lol!

Good evening ladies! I had no sleep last night, worked a long day, had to clean up after 3 kids so I yelled at them to get out of my Olympic watching couch and go to bed....I am ready...now if only they would throw us a tidbit of something gymnastics to keep me glued til 1am again!

Just on GGMB from Ingrid as in girl in the know.

For what it's worth, I emailed my friend on the scene for NBC just moments ago, and she said she hasn't heard anything about it. Chellsie is in the warm up gym in a leo. (That's not to say the rumor is NOT true.)

Guess we'll have to wait and see, talk about suspense.

I'll tape it for them, six 9-14 year olds in my office around the pc would not be too much fun, their Moms all said no, so off to bed they go. Aw too bad.... They don't really know about the coverage as it isn't advertised in Canada, "cos no Canadians made it!
