USA USA USA

Wow - things are busy around here!


Here's a quick rundown of what I've been up to since my last post:
- Watched the men's short program live
- Cheered for our U.S. guys
- Stood in line for an hour at the Olympic Superstore to buy 14 pairs of red mittens
- Got interviewed at the Olympic Superstore by a local news channel because I was buying 14 pairs of red mittens
- Went back to the torch and got a better picture
- Scored a ticket to men's curling
- Cheered on our U.S./Duluth guys at the curling match but unfortunately they lost in overtime...it was a great match though!
- Ran into Mr. Harms at the curling match!
- Organized a potential medal party at the USA House for our men...this included emailing pretty much every famous U.S. figure skating ever to live...and a voice message from Nancy Kerrigan...sometimes it's still hard to believe I have the job I have
- Got a VIP tour of the Coke pavilion

Shout out to all of my family members who are checking the blog! Love and miss you!

And a shout out to Kris Vesel! I promise I was not abducted, I've just been busy!

BTW - have you seen who's leading the medal count???? USA USA USA! 15 medals!

Men's free skate tonight - be sure to watch and cheer! We're hoping for some serious hardware!
