I came home from work yesterday and found a huge American flag draped on a door in the 'slob room', where we watch TV. Later I discovered my daughter put it there so she could declare her loyalties for the winter Olympics.
I was proud of her for forsaking her native Great Britain to cheer for America.
We enjoyed watching Lindsey Vonn ski her way to a gold medal, but we did enjoy all the crashes too -- especially the girl who crashed out only 2.5 seconds into her race.
"Mummy, even you would have done better than that," my daughter said. (My skiing was so bad that I crashed on the smallest slope and had to have my knee put back together using some of my ham strings.)
Here are some fab crashes for you to enjoy:

USA got silver too, that's just greedy..! Great race though, I think the Women's course was harder than the Men's!
Eliz, I'm as bad a skier as you. Tore my MCL in Taos the year before Lizzy was born and never touched a ski again. Too skeery, flying out-of-control down that slippery slope! Uh-UH, honey. Look what happened to Sonny Bono.
Brenda, Sonny Bono had so many pills in his system when he crashed. He never should have put skis on that day, much less skied near trees!
SHE'LL BE SORRY WHEN THE GB HAUL THE EXPECTED 20 GOLDS LATER ON, FOR WHINGING ON HOW COLD IT IS AND GETTING BLADDERED AT THE BAR!
Go Amy!!!
What is it about sliding down an ice drain pipe at 90mph that attracts such gorgeous women?
