Unless you live under a rock, or are one of those really strong-willed people that have banned TV from your homes, I'm sure you are well aware that the 2010 Winter Olympics are in full force. Except for the downhill skiiers.....who seem to be having an issue with snow.
In honor of the Olympics, I dragged out our little stuffed mascots that we got way back in 2002 when little ole SLC hosted the games. See, I knew that my packrat tendencies would come in handy one day! Behold the decorated mantle:
If I feel so inclined, I'll dig through some old pictures and find some shots of our family enjoying the SLC Olympic festivities.....later.
But for now, my take on some of the things pertaining to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics:
- Sad for them that they've had such a mild winter....I'm sure it's caused a ton of stress for the organizers.
- Luge: Saddest thing ever. And thanks to the news media for showing that horrific accident, I don't want to watch the competition now at all. Gives me a sick feeling in my stomach.
- Snowcross: Loved it, and I don't typically enjoy watching snowboarding! I really liked the demin pants they wore. I want some. Except that when I ski, I don't want to look like a snowboarder, so I won't be looking too hard!
- Hope to see some downhill and super G soon....as does everyone.
- Pairs ice skating: I normally love it, but was bored to tears with it this time.
- Mens ice skating: Almost as bad as the pairs, although I was a little more interested.
- Moguls course: Loved it, but OUCH! My knees hurt for them. And the woman that has had 6 knee surgeries and is still competing, and winning?! Good for her. Does she have her knee replacements scheduled with her surgeon already? Talk about tenacious.
- Is it Biathalon? The X-country skiing and shooting? Hmmmm.
- Curling: Riveting, as always. I WANT a pair of the Norwegian teams pants.
What are your thoughts, loves, hates?
