Olympic Dream

Hey Everyone! Well, the Olympics are over and I'm not quite sure what I'm gonna do with myself tonight. I'm an Olympics superfan and I watched every single night of competition. Basically I had no social life for the past two weeks, but hey, this only comes along once every two years (counting summer Olympics too of course) so I'm willing to sacrifice. But I gotta admit that I think I got my fill of Olympic competition for a while, and I know this because I had an Olympic dream last night! It was sort of a nightmare actually, and because I'm a visual person I spent a little time today putting together a couple photos to demonstrate what happened in my dream.

First I was ice skating, which as I mentioned in a previous post (seen here: http://www.applesthemule.com/1/category/figure%20skating/1.html) I do quite well so that wasn't nightmarish. I was just skating around an empty rink by myself, but next thing I knew I was part of a pair and my partner picked me up and threw me across the ice like one of those scary throws they do.

I must have been ten feet in the air, it was terrifying! It felt like I was up there forever, hurtling towards an inevitable painful impact on the ice, when all of a sudden I landed on Olympic Slalom Gold Medalist Ted Ligety's back, who was right in the middle of a run down one of those steep, icy mountains.

He's obviously a great skier and I trusted him to get me down that mountain but we were going so fast I couldn't help but be afraid there too. We were picking up speed and the slalom gates were coming at us faster and faster when I felt something grab my hoof. I looked up and saw none other than the mascot of the Olympics, the Sochi Bear. It was he who had saved me and we were in the middle of the Olympic Stadium. It was packed with people from all over the world and they were cheering for us.

I looked around and took it all in. It was an amazing feeling! But then I felt it slipping away and found myself awake. What a crazy ride of a dream, right? And definitely a sign that I probably OD'd on the Olympics - hahahahaha! Well, it was a good run and now I'll just be countin' down to Rio baby! Have a wonderful week everyone!

PS - Oh yeah, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN!!! This post is dedicated to YOU since I know how much you loved the Olympics too - hahahaha!
