winter olympics + canada = best 14 days of my life.

I. LOVE. THE. WINTER. OLYMPICS.

summer 2008 we were glued to the tv watching the summer olympics. schedule printed cheering for our little americans take gold (or at the very least try their very best) I think there were some gymnastics, some running, and maybe some other stuff...we were obsessed. watched for hours on end, planned our outings around medal events. life was good.

and then there was the winter. snowboard cross, and half pipe, mens figure staking, LUGE, ski jumping, CURLING, the hilarity that is the biathlon (skiing and cross country skiing....really?), MOGELS.

and all my favorites were back...since winter olympians have a longer shelf life I believe...Bode miller, F.LOCH, shaun white, lindsey jacobellis, shani davis, evan lysacke, julia mancuso, lindsey vonn, seth wescott, apollo ono, johnny weir, and that crazy russian who won figure skating last year. and my new FAVORITE. PIPS!

ok so her real name may actually be hannah kearney. but check out those pips. I only wish I had goggles when I ride my bike so I can be pips. she is my pip-ing hero. google image hannah kearny...you'll see pips. pips on the slopes, pips at the medal ceremony the next day. she flipping loves her pip. an I flippin love her. (did I mention that ben and jerrys is making a new flavor in honor of her....what is it you ask...coffee ice cream with chocolate cookies. aka MY FAVORITE)

needless to say the TV has been on constantly from 7 till 11 (or later...thanks to vancouver's unfortunate plague ice and snow delays) forgoing my early bedtime resolution to watch one last event, these are the winter olympics after all.

AND they are in Canada.

(I can name all 13 of my providences...can you)
