Outfitting

We leave Feb. 11. All the planning is coming together. Now we're going overboard.

We admit, we're suckers for Olympic wear. Even for past Olympics when we got no closer than our living room we were fully decked out in official Team Canada gear. You can only imagine how obsessed we've become this time, when we will be there live and in person. Knowing our natures, friends and family outfitted us generously at Christmas. However, we've taken it to a new level. We searched the city today because I want the women's parka; I bought red yarn, braided it and with it I attached my Olympic mittens to eachother and then threaded them through my coat; we bought an Olympic onesy for a couple we know to be expecting and a hoodie for our great nephew. Hey, at this point it's what we can do since we can't make the Olympics happen any sooner...we're biding our time and spending our money. A marketer's dream. Of course, it IS a once in a lifetime for us.

So the thought behind this blog is this: people keep saying that they want to hear "all about" our trip. Well, be careful what you wish for! We'll be posting details of our adventure for all to read. Enjoy. We certainly intend to.

With anxious anticipation,

The Entity

    Yay! I get to post the first comment.

    Team Canada (and their marketing department) love you guys.

    I seriously doubt this will be a once in a lifetime happening for The Entity. You'll be at future Games I'm sure.

    Looking forward to the on-location reporting.
