Mike and I are sitting on the couch watching the Olympics right now, Snowboarding Cross to be exact and it is seriously so intense. It is probably one of my favorite Winter Olympic sports to watch because there is so much action. Basically 6 snowboarders start at the top of the hill and race down to the bottom. Which means 1) they are going crazy fast to be the first down the hill 2.) one little mistake and your done and 3.) there are lots of wipe outs.
Did you watch it last night? It absolutely broke my heart that the US girl, Lindsay Jacobellis, had such a huge lead and literally 30 seconds before the end she caught the soft snow and wiped out. It was her second time going to the Olympics and the second time this happened. As an athlete myself I know how hard it is to work crazy hard for something and then fall short by just a little bit. Ughh.. no fun!!

This Pizza is not your typical pizza, its kind of a fancy snooty pizza. But you will be so glad you went the snooty route instead of the plain jane pepperoni route.
