Let the Olympics begin!

Miss School Teacher and the Naughty Nurse hosted dinner last night. Parmesan chicken. Yummy. Then Miss School Teacher took me to see her classroom, as I had not previously seen it. Very cool, and took me back to the days I was in fifth grade. I did not like my fifth grade teacher, and our classroom was not nearly as well decorated as Miss School Teacher's.

After dinner, we watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Unlike some of the Olympic haters (Chele!), I love watching the Olympics. I'm especially excited about hockey! And about skiing- skiers=hot. Jeremy Bloom is my winter sport boyfriend. And, even though it's dorky and very Minnesotan, I'm going to watch curling. I can't tear myself away from it. Normally, I would never watch curling, skiing, speed skating, or bobsledding...but it's the Olympics, and I'm addicted. You can add the Olympics to Mountain Dew, CSI, Grey's Anatomy, flannel sheets, college basketball, knitting, and Tony Reali- things I'm currently addicted to.

One of my favorite parts of the Olympics is that I get to hear so many other national anthems. "O Canada" is a personal favorite, as well as "God Save the Queen"

Today is pretty low key. I've been looking at grad schools and watching basketball. My Golden Gophers look like they're going to pull one out today against Michigan State. Today is also the day all the coaches are wearing sneakers with their suits in support for Coaches against Cancer. I think that's uber awesome. Who cares if it looks stupid? It's a good cause.

Ok- I'm off to the grocery store, and then I'll see where the day takes me. I love Saturdays.
