   Figure skating…looove it! It took me a really long time to figure out that there actually were other sports in the Olympics.

   I agree, the figure skating is so beautiful. I can’t believe how strong they are! They have to be so coordinated and in sync. I can’t imagine I’d ever ever be able to do that!

   I’ve catching the Olympics any time nothing else is on the TV, but I have it set to DVR tonight because I just have to see Shaun White snowboard. I have a small obsession with him for some reason. Maybe the pretty red hair?

   Unfortunately the coverage of the winter olympics in Australia is terrible! I did see some of the snowboard cross which was pretty impressive!
