I am gobsmacked.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Considering I'm about to be an honorary New Yorker, I guess it's a fair trade

Woo hoo. Go London. I have to say I really thought that Paris would be the city to win the Games. Congrats and good luck! Oh by the way pop, can we crash at your flat?

Yeppers, I'm not that big (so I won't need much space), and I don't eat much (but I do love to cook). All in all I am a pretty darn good housemate! (Just ask my husband!).Have to start making plans now. Can you imagine the QM2 packages that will be coming?

Dreading the chaos hosting the Olympics would cause NYC (in my opinion,) Congratulations London our great ally. I'm very pleased London was chosen over Paris.
