Hipp-O-lympic Fever!

I've been watching the Olympics almost around the clock (except when snoozing, snacking, or blogging)--especially the swimming competitions! Hippos really like to swim.

The International Olympic committee should consider adding a few more sports:

• Underwater Breath Holding (Did you know that hippos can hold their breath for 6 minutes?)
• Couch Potato Snacking Marathon (make sure you get all the food groups in for a balanced snack--sweet, salty, cheez covered, iced, frozen, and chocolate)
• Endurance TV watching (hippos are especially good at the "dead stare." It intimidates the competitors.)

I'm a gold medalist in all three of these sports. I feel kind of sorry for all the Olympians, though. Their medals aren't filled with tasty chocolate like mine!

Hungry, Hungry Hippo!

Now that it is spring and I can finally resume going on outdoor adventures, I get extra hungry! When I am out pretending to be a tourist, I like to stop at a street vendor to buy myself a hot dog with lots of stuff on it. I usually need a lot of extra napkins so I won't wipe my mouth on my scarf.


Of course, a hot dog requires something to wash it down with (by the way, I'm not on a "Diet." I just like Diet Coke). It also requires the most important meal of the day--DESSERT! Mmmmmmm. I'm getting hungry just writing about it. I need a snack.
