59/365 O Canada indeed...

he may not have been as interested in the Olympics
as I hoped he would be
but he has been well trained to
cheer LOUDLY for a hockey win
especially when it involves our country!

as you may have guessed I was
obsessed with hockey these last two weeks.
I watched as many games as I could
including countries I couldn't locate on a map
and moved appointments and dropped everything
when it involved the Canadians

my heart is very glad
that the Olympics have ended
these close hockey games
were crazy and stressful
but they were great for
Operation Healthy Family
as I would dance,skate and jump around
for at least the 3rd period
and had to have burned off a few calories
(maybe some of those chocolate bars I partook in last week)

I would be amiss though if I didn't mention
that it wasn't just hockey
keeping me glued to my tv these last 2 weeks
figure skating, ski-cross, snowboard, skiing, speed skating
and even curling
I got completely sucked into the wonderful life stories
of the athletes and cried many (many) times.

Vancouver rocked these games &
I am very proud to be a Canadian
(and I'm ok with being known as that "nice" country)
