Well, well, well. What can I say? As a Canadian, it can officially be said that my people RULE at hockey! Olympic gold for the woman AND for the men? Wow. Of course I’d love to rub it in, but since we Canadians are polite and well mannered, I’ll just let that opportunity pass in favour of saying that yesterday’s game was great. Very close, very tense, and really exciting to watch (love you Sidney Crosby)!
But what gets me every time is when the camera pans over to the loosing team – whoever it might be, and in whatever sport – and you see their sad, disappointed faces. Of course it breaks my heart and I start to tear up right along with them. Damn my sensitive side!
But now it’s all over. Over! What will we watch on TV tonight? What will we talk about in the elevator and around the water cooler at work every day? The Olympics were a real family viewing event in our Living Room every evening and I’m going to miss it.
I am, however, going to continue to wear my red mittens. DON’T try to stop me!
Will you be missing the Olympics tonight or are you glad it’s done with? Do you wish you had a pair of Canadian red mittens like I do? Have you been recently overcome with the desire to take up an obscure and dangerous winter sport? Do you find yourself appreciating full length spandex body suits more than you did 2 weeks ago? Do you frequently find yourself shouting “HARD” in inappropriate places or at inappropriate times?
Leave it for me in the comments. I’ll read it later when I’m back from Speed Skating practice. Look out 2014 – here I come!
