I Have a Dream

I have a dream that I will one day host an Olympic themed party. I cannot tell you how much I love the Olympics. Brilliant marketing on their part keeping it so many years apart. It is so desirable (I know the timing has more to do with tradition than marketing, roll with me, please). My favorite event is synchronized swimming. I have "liked" the USA's Women's team on Facebook and I follow them and stalk their beautiful photos often. I will be DVR'ing all of their appearances during the Olympic games. GO USA!!!
Now onto my party. I'm thinking cocktails are a must. It's really a field day. I want obstacle courses set up. I want three legged races. I want to race others while "shaving" a balloon free of shaving cream. I want a pie eating contest. I want to toss eggs. BUT why not do a javelin throw too and some other real track and field events? Hammer throw, not sure exactly what that is but we have plenty of hammers we could throw. There will be a podium salute to the gold, silver and bronze winners for the overall day. You collect points. Maybe this will be a team thing. I have not decided. We cannot rush what is still in the dream phase. Stay tuned and look for your invites in the mail.
