So do you have special plans to watch the opening ceremony tonight? It's been such a rough week for my emotions, that I am so ready to relax and watch something fun and different on TV.

I'm thinking we need to order dinner out! :)
 
No special plans except to watch them :) I'll probably still be working and watching at the same time. Cheyanne is excited to watch them so she'll be planted on the couch.
 
I've got to take t-ball pictures right after it starts, so I have it DVRed for later. I will probably watch it during chat.
 
Just bathing the kids and getting them to bed, after that we're gonna open some beer and watch and watch and watch.
2 more hours until it starts :)
 
I'm going to put the kids to bed, grab my lappy, scrap, and watch! That's pretty much where I'll be for the entirety of the Olympics. I love it! :D
 
I'm looking forward to it but I know my husband's patience for them is limited. The China ones led to a major argument because frankly, even if they do get a bit tedious in parts, there is nothing else NEW on tv that we watch on opposite it and I can see that Big Bang Theory episode we've only seen a mere 841 times in a few weeks when it cycles back around.

But he'd rather watch the rerun & swears he'll switch back when the ceremonies 'pick up'. Unless of course it's an episode 'he really loves'.

I'm keeping control of the remote tonight
 
I want to wwtch but it doesn't start until 9 I think and the past few weeks I've been in bed by half 9 :s
 
So excited to watch tonight! It's our usual once-a-month pizza-and-a-movie night with my little brother, but sorry bro! We's watching the Ceremonies!
 
I love the opening ceremonies! DH and I have date night tonight, but I think we'll be ordering take-out and staying home instead. :)
 
It has just started and we're currently watching it, but it won't be long before DH starts changing the channel :D It's a little strange at the moment anyway :huh:
 
It's date night here...kids are staying at the Y until 10:30pm so I'm making a nice dinner and we'll either DVR the open ceremony and watch it when the kids get home and watch a movie instead. Or we'll say heck with it and watch the Opening Ceremony and probably fall asleep...such party animals at this house.
 
We are watching now but OH's football(soccer) team are playing so he keeps switching channels!!
 
Some of it is weird even for us Brits but ......

the bit where they showed the olympic torch going around the UK - that was my bridge where the guy was abseiling off it :) I live near there :)
 
Im super excited about the opening ceremony! We are supposed to go over to a friend's house tonight to watch!

You are so creative! I like Darcy's Lego Olympics idea too. I'll have to see how in to the games the kids get. We'll probably be dragging out the bows and arrows once archery begins. :)

It started today, Juli :) They're just not televising today's ranking qualifiers :( I was sad about that. That's our focus sport this year...but we we won't get to see a ton of it.

Tracy - you can watch it online live, though it's just about over now.

Woohoo me too, I can just see it peeking through the buildings from my house lol! :)

I have to admit defeat now, I'm too tired to watch anymore!
 
I wasn't planning to, but after seeing this thread I told the kids about it and they all wanted to watch. I finally had to carry a protesting 3 year old to bed after an hour of it, and DS is still watching. I'll be rejoining him in a few minutes.
