Olympics

So, Canada has a medal count. So of course, I'm crying. I didn't actually know we had won anything until they started playing the national anthem and then my eyes started watering. I'm such a giant suck. The anthem on it's own can generally start the water works with me but watching Carol Huynh holding her flowers and crying on TV just cinched it. Hell I'm crying just writing about it.

This is sooooo the wrong time of the month for me to be seeing this stuff. Still: Yay for Carol Huynh, David Calder and Scott Frandsen, and Tonya Verbeek. You make us proud!
