Shaun White and Scotty Lago

My favorite picture of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada. Taken right after Shaun White won his 2cd gold medal. He is celebrating with Bronze medalist Scotty Lago. It just shows true emotion and you can tell how happy they are.

Tim Burton's Alice and Wonderland

I saw Alice in Wonderland opening weekend. I thought it was amazing! I am not a big movie person. We saw it in 3D and it made it all the better. I was a little worried that the 3D might make me dizzy and nauseous, but I was good. I really want to see it again, I have asked Scott on numerous occasions to see it with me. I bought the book to read, since I never have. I am not sure if I have seen the Disney movie all the way through. I defiantly give it 6 out of 5 stars. Yes it was that good.

Vintage Cigarette ad

Found this one tonight and had to post. How the times have changed. Was a carton of cigarettes ever considered a good Christmas present, especially by a famous actor?

Vintage Colt ad

A random pic I found while browsing photos on line. I have been into vintage pics and print ads lately. This one makes me laugh. Dad teaching mom to shoot while the little one watches on. Don't really get the slogan.

2010 Olympics -Snowboarding

The half pipe was one of my favorite events in this Olympics. Shaun White of course won Gold. His first run was so amazing he did not even need to do a second run, but of course he did and even landed his amazing new trick the Double Mc Twist 1260. Scotty Lago from the US won bronze. For the women Torah Bright of Australia won Gold, Hannah Teter of the US won Silver and Kelly Clark also of the US won Bronze. My favorite going into the games was Gretchen Bleiler but after falling came in the finals came in 11th. Seth Westcott of the US won Gold in Snowboard Cross for the men and Maelle Ricker of Canada won Gold in the women's event. Going into it Seth was my fav for the men and Lindsey Jacobellis was my fav for the women, she went off track in the semi's and got disqualified .

The Olmpics are over


Yes it is true the 2010 closing Olympics were this past Sunday and now I am having Olympic withdrawals and am not sure what to watch on TV and now I will have to wait 2 1/2 years for the summer games in London and even then I still prefer the winter games to the summer games. We watched the prime time and late night coverage almost every night and caught the daytime coverage on my days off. My favorites were Ski Jumping, Snowboarding (half pipe and cross), figure skating, aerials, bobsled, and short track skating. The US won the most medals at 37, Germany was 2cd with 30, and Canada 3rd with 26. Canada won the most gold with 14, Germany was 2cd with 10, and the US tied with Norway for 3rd with 9 each.
