…8 more days to pile the mountains around Vancouver with snow…
…8 more days until I spend Friday night glued to the TV watching PVR’d daytime programming…
…8 more days to clean out a certain clothing section at the Bay…
Yep, 8 more days till the Winter Olympics in my hometown, Vancouver! I’m so stoked that I just bought the “I believe” theme song soundtrack on iTunes – English, French, instrumental. Yay!
I’ve always liked Winter Olympics better than the Summer games, because the sports in winter are much more, for lack of a better word, exotic. I mean, watching four people shoot down a giant ice slide for hours is just much cooler than watching a sport I actually understand, like basketball.
This time around, not only is it better than it’s taking place in a city I love, but I’m also going to be at one the games! We’ve had the tickets since round-one bidding, but recently just finalized…We totally lucked out (completely, utterly, one of the luckiest things ever to happen to me) and got tickets to the MEN’S GOLD MEDAL HOCKEY GAME!!!! Okay, everybody now, HAPPY THOUGHTS towards seeing the Canadian boys win on “home” ice!!!!!!!!
We’ll be making a whirlwind trip (this is what I get for traveling with people whose work revolves around “Q1″…bah). We’re flying in on Friday and leaving on Monday for the weekend, and I hope to leave in a state of exhaustion from celebrating all day on Sunday :-)
Anyone else excited about the Winter Olympics? Just slightly? ;-)
As a fellow Canadian, I’m INCREDIBLY envious that you scored gold medal hockey tickets! I feel like half of my friends are flying from Toronto to Van to be there for the games. It’s going to be incredible! Can’t wait to hear the updates!
Thanks, I’m still in shock myself even though I’ve known for a little over a year now!
You guys got tickets to the Gold Medal game?
I HATE YOU SO MUCH! Argh.
Btw, we are seeing some games too… did you see my blog post listing the events we are going to?
Can we PLEASE meet up? It would be awesome to see you and I’d love to introduce Allan to you and Alex :) Let’s meet up for Olympic drinks!
yay! this vancouver girl is excited!!! gotta love those red mitts.
We only got tickets to the hockey game…it was a weird coincidence where a group of us all bid on a bunch of the same events, and we got nothing (no luge!) except this one game from one person out of the group. Fluky, lucky, super awesome thing to happen though!
