SUCH SECRECY ->Victoria Beckham pictured rehearsing with the Spice Girls - Telegraph

The Closing Ceremony for the Summer Olympics is tomorrow night and the Spice Girls are scheduled to perform. It seems Victoria Beckham's participation is shrouded in secrecy. I can't wait to see it all.

Olympic athletes find ways to flaunt their style

STYLE AT THE GAMES ->Olympic athletes find ways to flaunt their style – USATODAY.com
Its their time in the spotlight so what better way than to flaunt some style. From diamond grills, tattoos and nail art, the Olympic athletes are bringing more than just their athletic ability to the Games. Of course, tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams are always on the cutting edge in style. Check out the story in USAToday.

Now Playing ~ Road To Morocco (1942)

START THE MOVIE ->Road To Morocco (1942) via Classic Cinema Online

I know everybody is staying glued to the TV and watching the Olympic games. I took my chances and popped over to my favorite classic movies website to see what was playing and came across this fun movie. It stars Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and the beautiful Dorothy Lamour.

It's a fun Road to Morocco where they encounter some interesting situations along the way. The singing is fantastic and makes the trip an enjoyable experience. Have good laughs and popcorn tonight!

Olympic Players and their Tweets

For the second time soon after the Olympics began, another player has been expelled from the Games. I just read the story on USAToday about Swiss soccer player Michel Morganella being banned after a racist tweet. Apparently upset after Switzerland's loss to South Korea, Morganella took to his Twitter account and wrote a tweet that was disparaging.

I just wanted to weigh in for just a minute as another player last week was expelled for a racist tweet against African immigrants. The story also ran in USAToday about Greek triple jumper Voula Papachristou's tweet. It puzzles my mind that the athletes would tweet these type of comments against another race of people. In the heat of frustration from a loss, some athletes lose their cool. OK, blow off some steam but not in the way these two athletes have done.

To train hard and dedicate the time leading up to the Summer Olympics with coaches, teammates, family and friends ready to cheer the athletes on to victory is a mighty feat indeed. I hope other athletes will exercise better judgment and not send insensitive tweets about another person. Be a better sport about the Games!

The 2012 USA Olympic Swimming Team have a good time singing the popular Carley Rae Jepson song "Call Me Maybe." We wish them luck in their meets and hope they bring home the Gold!

Opening Day of the Summer Olympics

TGIF and its Opening Day of the Summer Olympics. The athletes have trained hard and the world is their stage. A few of my favorite events are track & field, gymnastics, and swimming. How about you, what are some of your favorites?

Speaking of sports, the Atlanta Braves open a three-game series today against the Philadelphia Phillies down at Turner Field. The Phillies have always been a rivalry so this series will be a good one. I suspect lots of red in the stadium worn by Phillies fans, but the Braves fans will be there too with the Tomahawk chop.

It's been a great week after that rough start on Monday for me. I got it together and moved right along at a steady pace. My workload has grown mainly with writing assignments. Here's to a good Friday for all of us and to knocking that to-list out of the ballpark ~Batter Up!
