I grew up playing street hockey with my brothers in my Canadian hood. When we came "of age" to enroll in community hockey I lined up with all my boys, fully expecting to join the team. I was absolutely sure this was my first step to becoming an Olympian.
Until I was turned away and told to enroll in figure skating.
Disclaimer: I have absolutely nothing against being a figure skater.
Unless you have speed-skating thighs and a killer slap shot.
Now, a different Olympic dream is coming to fruition. I not only need your daily vote (here) but I am soliciting THE Ellen DeGeneres as well! Click the image below to view my "Just One Tweet" campaign.

I take that back. Maybe my figure skating legs don't look too bad after all.
===========================
Anyone ever had their water break at Einstein Bros. Bagels? I am over at Design Mom today talking all about it. Also, thanks to The Vacation Gals (one of my favorite travel sites for moms) for giving me an Olympic-sized shout-out. Thank you everyone for your support!

Thanks Kari! Fingers are crossed and I'm so grateful for everyone's support.
Wouldn't that be SWEET if you were on Ellen?!
K, voted!
I LOVE Ellen... and you too. I am religiously voting because you SO deserve this. Quite frankly, there is NO ONE better for it.
Chellie--I saw you on Ellen's FB fan page. :)
Thank you thank you so much!
I haven't laughed that hard in a while, reading your birth story. Loved it. Congrats on being included as a finalist. I voted for you :)
Ps. I'll send your link to my friend who writes for Ellen. Don't know if it will help but it's worth a try :) Have a happy day.
Wow, that would be over-the-moon cool. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
Amber, I've voted everyday. LOVE the Ellen graphic. Two suggestions, put a CoverGirl Simply Ageless compact in one hand, the O Magazine w/Ellen & O on the cover in the other (that can't hurt) - then send to O Mag, CoverGirl and resend to Ellen. Next, send to Sherri Shepard on the View b/c her luge video,which ran over & over on The Ellen Show, was one of the funniest I can recall! She might help your cause too! (I follow her on Twitter). Best of luck!
I voted again! I love the tweet idea - sadly I am not all that good with Twitter so I don't think I can help in that area!! Very cute and funny though!
GOOD LUCK AMBER!!!! *does split jump high in the air for amber*
Good Luck!!! I too am from Canada and I too LOVE the winter Olympics with a passion. I'm planning on going home for the Vancouver festivities and can't wait. See you there (fingers are crossed on your behalf).
Your birth story is hysterical. I'll never go into an Eisten's Bagels again without looking for the girl whose water broke! :) Good luck with the Olympics!
Thanks ladies for the encouragment!
Vote for Amber - Check!
Website is blocking out any non-US voting so I'm voting for Amber in spirit and sending out vibes....
I hope you win! I'm voting for you every day.
PS Word verification is dangstiv.
I voted:) Good luck for sure!!
It's working again. Please vote and thanks for your support!
I've been voting from Canada and it's totally fine.
Hey, Amber...I got the voting to work for me!
Thanks for checking on me. I am working on a new post to update everybody. The baby is doing well and progressing nicely...he just has major lung problems and it has already been a long winter for his little lungs.
Well, maybe I spoke too soon...I just tried to vote again today and it didn't work. I will try back later.
You deserve this and I hope you get to go!

Thanks ladies.
Lauren, frustrating how finicky it's been. I'd love if you keep trying!
