i love the olympics

This winter has been freezing cold. Which is why I feel so grateful that we have sixteen days of awesome television to enjoy while we continue to hunker down.

It's no secret I adore the olympics. I'm a huge fan. Love the back stories, love the panoramic aerial shots of the surrounding area, love the music that leads to and from commercial, love the P and G commercials about the mom's, and I enjoy the sports themselves. (Though I am no a huge fan of the team sweaters this year...a bit too reminiscent of an ugly sweater christmas party. But whatever...they're olympians...they can wear whatever they want.)

So bring it on Sochi. We're hoping our new couch arrives in the next sixteen days so we can have friends over to watch and share in another international smorgasbord. (Fun fact: we found out we were pregnant with Ivar during the last winter games. Crazy the changes in four years: two moves, two kids...)

I'll leave you with a favorite commercial so far that got me excited for all the fun that is to come.
