Packing Peanuts and the Olympics

We ordered all the books Jeff needs for school off the internet. They have started arriving in the mail, and today we received one in some odd packaging. Normally books ordered off of half.com or amazon.com arrive in envelopes. The ones I sent were usually wrapped in brown paper grocery sacks. If your really lucky you receive a book in a padded envelope. But todays arrive in a large box. The box could have fit at least 4-5 books in it, although it only had one. It was even more exciting when we opened the box and realized the book was amongst a bunch of packing peanuts. Surprisingly, the book arrived in very good condition. 

On another note did everyone else see the mens 4x100 freestyle relay. That was just amazing. Very, very exciting to watch. Jeff won't look up the results before he watches the race, but Chel will. Even knowing the results the race was still exciting. And have you heard that there is a 33 year old woman gymnast. Dara Torres is considered old which she is, but 33 for a gymnast is ancient. One last thing, when watching beach volleyball be sure to listen to the music being played in the background. We were watching the first match when it started raining and in the background you could hear "Raindrops keep falling on my head..." Throughout each match you hear mostly American music. We were reminded of Gabriel and Thomas when they started playing the song from the movie 'Madagascar,' which goes "I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it, I like to MOVE IT."
