February and Olympics!

I  mostly dislike February,  it is depth of winter,  out door time is short and I get a tad grumpy, but when there are 17 days of Olympics the month flies by and the possibility of spring is closer.

I smell a bunny.

Going for the Gold.....yeah Canada!

Are you all suffering from post Olympic Blues? I watched so much TV, I was feeling weird about it but what a ride.  :)) By the usual I don't watch daytime TV let alone get up and have my first cuppa in front of a hockey game.
I love Olympic hockey games. I enjoy all of the Olympics, even if I don't 'get' some of the events.  Looking at those beautiful athletic bodies and mostly happy faces, is a great big tonic.

I want to know what's with "Ladies" events?  I didn't hear any events for the "Gentlemen"  did you?

Olympics!!!

Just have to add a note about Television....I am not a television person, (when the boys left the house, we
disconnect the cable (not internet).  I had an anal discussion with the person on the phone when I attempted to disconnect, one that went in circles about my not wanting television, and she insisting that basic was
a good option, but not if you don't want  cable :)  It has been disconnected for about 4 years.  Discovered a few weeks ago that we get several channels without connecting. Who knew? But I am sure
pleased to have this medium for the Olympics!!  I hung on till midnight watching the opening ceremony.
Wahoo!  So sad it isn't cold and snowy on the coast but heh nothing new there, eh.
I am going to see if I have a Canada toque somewhere!  I recently bought a baby blue beanie, I like it but
it isn't 'patriotic'.
Lots of 'patriotic stuff.... I had to smile at the adverts that suggested ' we are nice, we are friendly, welcome, come on,  get your ass kicked'
Bring it on, and lets pray no one else dies.
