Opening Ceremonies

Happy Opening Ceremonies for the 2012 Olympics!  I'm a huge fan of the Olympics as everyone know and even though I did have to work, our awesome DVR allowed us to not miss it.  Sure it's about three hours later than when it originally aired but that's okay.  I shielded myself well from what to expect tonight which is always great because it was truly a surprise.   Of course, it would be hard for them to compete with China but I think they did alright.   There were a lot of parts of it that I really enjoyed particularly the shift into the Industrial Revolution.  Other parts I'm wasn't entirely impressed with but I doubt that I was who they were aiming to impress.

I'm typing this post as they parade of nations are entering.  I really love watching this part every year despite it getting a little boring at time.  I like the costumes and always wish I could understand what walking into the Olympic stadium must be like.  When I was a little girl, before I understood how impossible the Olympic dream was, I used to dream about walking among fellow athletes with some of the world's greatest names surrounding us.  Eh, I'm so distracted while trying to write this that I'm just going to stop. I'm not sure if any of this has made any sense.
