Anyone watching? Championships are here in Boston. I love it and it's making me more excited for the Olympics. I dreamt of being an Olympic figure skater but that life is long over. I still love to watch and fall I love over and over again.

I watched. I've been following all week. I used to skate so I have a small obsession with it. The rest is on tonight at 8. Should be a good long program even though the US probably won't medal in anything besides ice dancing.
I grew up skating ( started at 2.5) and mh grew up playing hockey ( my mom played hockey too and her whole family did as well, my uncle actually works for the San Jose sharks) so we hope the boys skate but part if me would love them to go I to figure skating since that is my passion instead of hockey we will see what they prefer.LEARN TO SKATE starts here at 2 or potty trained so let's hope they are pt by 2
I just found out DH doesn't like ANY sports. At all. So it's going to be hard to watch the Olympics, but he will be stuck watching skating, skiing, and curling. Tough toenails big guy!!!

charlielove, you don't have 2 tv's? I'll be in the bedroom while Dh will be hanging out on the couch. I'm stoked for some alone time!
And teamhayes, I started at 6. Ari will skate as well but not play hockey. I am way too nervous of a mother to let him play. But he can figure skate all he wants!
Also, one of my students competitively skates and is in the same club as the pairs team from the Boston area that did well. She said the girl is WEIRD. Hahaha.
I wish Michelle Kwan was commentating instead of Lipinski. 1. I HATE Tara and 2. I miss Michelle but she just got married so I figure she has other things going on right now.
I'll watch it during the Olympics, but I wouldn't be able to get DH to let me watch it other than that. My cousin used to be a competitive skater, and she's there, so she keeps updating on FB about it.
I wish it wS Michelle too I used to train I. The summer and when I couldn't get ice at my home club where Nancy Kerrigan trained That's. Making me look really old
I think miller would be. Great pairs skater or maybe solo

It is also boring. There is no exciting, OMG moments of getting straight 6's and all #1 ranks. It's too mathematical and not emotional enough. Damn Russians for ruining it for everyone else.
