I've got the fever

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Kung hei fat choy! (Happy Chinese New Year - ano del tigre - year of the TIGER)

There are many reasons to celebrate this day, but I don't think anything calls for more celebration than:

THE VANCOUVER 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS HAVE BEGUN!

If you know me, you know that my life shuts down during the Olympics. Quiz: Last night I came home to Federal Way to A) Be home with mama for some Valentine's Day fun, B) Be home to watch our huge HD TV for the Olympics, C) Cuddle with my dog (who is currently trying to coax me to play with him), D) All of the above.

If you answered D, you should be a nursing student. You rock at multiple choice questions.

It's been fun to be home for mama, Beau, and of course the TV since we are all such huge Olympic freaks. Beau too. When my mom and I yell at the TV he barks at it and tries to figure out what is going on!

Last night was the men's 1500 m short track speed skating medal event where our 2 boys, Apolo Ohno and JR Celski, took home the silver and bronze! Sure, they got lucky when all the Koreans got greedy and took each other out in their pursuit of gold, but that is short track for you! You gotta be smart! What do I know? I don't... but I've watched enough over the years to know that.

(This pic isn't of the event last night, but I love it.)

I've been one of Apolo's biggest fans since the 2002 Olympics. He's cute, he's funny, he's amazing at what he does. I think my mom thinks he's hotter than I do somehow. Everytime they show him on tv she says "HE IS SO CUTE! HE'S SO GOOD LOOKING! HE HAS IT ALL!"

Then there is JR Celski. I worked with his uncle Jerry for 2 summers and he told me to watch out for him in 2010. His story is inspirational. He is also so cute... and 19. Apparently we went to the same school at one point...
WOO REPRESENT FEDERAL WAY!

Women's moguls were awesome to watch as well. Ski jumping is pretty awesome, too. Luge is fun for the first few runs then it kind of gets repetitive. So sad about the Georgian luger...

Snowboarding hasn't even started yet. I can't wait to watch half pipe. Of course Shaun White! Then Hannah Teter and all of the kickass American girls.

What can I say? Two weeks of bliss! If only we had cable... It looks like I'll be going to Micaela or Adam's apartment every night for prime time TV since they also share a passion for Olympics AND have cable!

Done gushing for now. Love.
