Links Grow on Trees – Go Canada Go!!

Olympic Flag | Source: Department for Communities and Local Government on Flickr via CC-BY ND 2.0 LicenceI love the Olympics! All week I have been watching whatever I can. What I love is that I would never ordinarily watch any of these sports. But there’s something about the Olympics that draws me in. As I write this post, I’m watching Dylan Armstrong of Canada try to win a medal in the shot-put competition. Such an interesting sport – how far can a huge man throw a heavy ball. These guys have arms as big is my body. Since Monday, I’ve watched badminton, judo, diving, swimming, rowing, basketball, fencing, soccer, you name it, I’ve been watching it! Canada won’t challenge for medal dominance but we take so much pride in what we do win. We cheer with their success, we flinch at their failures. I had tears in my eyes when Antoine Valois-Fortier won a bronze in judo. I cringed when Jason Burnett fell on the trampoline. I wish every athlete all the best in the rest of the Games. One thing’s for sure – I’ll be watching!!

Last week’s post, Seven Reasons for Renting over Buying, was featured in a bunch of blog carnivals, including:

Thanks to all the blogs for hosting! In other news, Earth and Money was added to two major personal finance blog aggregation sites – Money Index and Money Crashers. Finally, here’s a look at what I’ve been reading in the blogosphere this week.

Have a great weekend everyone!! Enjoy the Olympics and Go Canada Go!

  1. All the blogs talking about Olympics has really got me itching to watch some too, but I’ve just got way too much work to catch up on. I actually met Dylan Armstrong a couple years back since he’s good friends with my old boss. He’s definitely a big boy lol.

    And thanks for the mention E&M. It was pretty sweet to get on the news.

  2. Thanks for the mention!

    I always tell myself that I’m not interested in the summer Olympics, that I’m not going to bother watching, etc etc. … But I always do. It was a good day for Canada today, with hopefully more to follow!

  3. Sorry for the late comment here! Thanks so much for featuring our contest. I think it was pretty successful….except for the part where we asked for the winner’s address to mail the book and she hasn’t yet responded. :/
