Canada had a fantastic Olympics in so many ways. We finished third in the overall medal standings with 26, making it our best ever showing at the Winter Olympics. We also won the gold medal race with 14. That is the most by any nation, in a single games, in Winter Olympics history. It also means Canada set a new record for the most gold medals won by a host nation at the Winter Games.

Big kudos to all of the Canadian athletes! :bravo:

And congratulations to the US for their amazing accomplishments at these games. They won the overall medal standings with 37, the most won by any country in Winter Olympics history.

You Are Balanced and Organized


Your life is not as clean and tidy as you’d like it to be, but you’re able to make sense of the chaos.
You don’t get overwhelmed easily, and you are able to deal with stress in an efficient manner.

You are responsible and together. You can handle what comes your way, and you actually enjoy surprises.
You know how to let loose and have fun, but you also work hard when the time is right. You’re all about balance!

Olympic Fever

February 19, 2010

To say I’ve enjoyed the first seven days of the Vancouver Olympics would be an understatement. Canada has won seven medals so far: three gold, three silver, and one bronze.  The next ten days of competition look like they might be even more exciting, which is awesome.

Yup. I’ve got me a serious case of Olympic fever. :clapping:

Let The Games Begin

The opening ceremony for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games is tonight. The last time they were held here in Canada was Calgary in 1988. It was so exciting when Vancouver was announced as the 2010 host city, and the anticipation has been building ever since. It’s been heartening to watch the enthusiasm as the torch relay has passed through big cities and small towns all across Canada. The Olympics are always appointment television for me, so I’m doing an extra festive happy dance this morning. :happy:

I recently tried a, new to me, snack food called Oreo Cakesters. O.M.G. They are a little slice of taste bud heaven. Basically they’re a soft cake version of Oreo cookies. I love making new discoveries like that. :woot:

Have a great weekend, everyone. :mrgreen:

Mmm…Hot Chocolate!

Since I love me some hot chocolate, the minute I saw this quiz I knew I was going to post it on the blog. :hotchocolate:


You Are Double Chocolate Hot Chocolate


When you do anything, you do it big. You live large, and you don’t hold back.
You either love or hate things with a passion. And since you love hot chocolate, of course you want to double down.

You’re the type of person most likely to make your own hot chocolate. Only you can make it as decadent as you like it.
And you’re also likely to go for the good stuff - real chocolate. No wimpy cocoa packets for you!

What Flavor Hot Chocolate Are You?
