I was at both here in Vancouver in 2010. Oh my word. There is nothing like it. The bus carrying the majority of the VIPs got caught in traffic and we watched in delight as everyone crept in a good 30 minutes late. They missed the best bit: when that snowboarder zoomed through the screen and landed on the runway. Magical. We got drums, flashlights and ponchos as keepsakes. It was a hoot watching the folks scramble to get the Olympic flag to flutter and when one of the arms of the torch didn't rise out of the ground and former Canadian speed skater Catriona Le May Doan was left standing there? Priceless. She handled it like a pro. Yes, I'm all about seeing it live.Kelly L McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649279572727703824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-22871311198666098752018-02-07T10:14:36.205-08:002018-02-07T10:14:36.205-08:00You have to be one of the most fun and creative bl...You have to be one of the most fun and creative bloggers! Just give me the dark chocolate and I can eat the strawberries by the handful. <br /><br />I have always thought there was more to the story about Natalie Wood. I liked her so much in movies when she was a child and most of her adult movies. It always made me so sad to think of her drowning and how ironic it was in light of her fear of water.

Natalie Wood's death. Hope you're headed somewhere fabulous for hubs birthday! Your salad : ) I always remember the little girl who lived across the street in Maryland coming for dinner one night and I asked her if she liked salad. She said yes she LOVED salad. I asked what she wanted in hers and she said cheese and croutons. Nothing else. No lettuce, nothing. I hated to tell her that's not really a salad.

The thing about salads is I want to add all of this "healthy" stuff to them...well, maybe not the cookies...but maybe too much chicken or cheese or whatever.

I wonder if we will ever know what really happened... I am SO ready for spring. Normally, I enjoy each season and can appreciate a snowy winter but with everyone being sick this year, I just want some warm spring weather! My kids have a snow day today but honestly, the roads really don't look that bad. We only have about an inch so far and it's supposed to change to rain. Then again, I would rather have them home than at that germ-fest of a school!
