Putting Chris to bed

by

I just had to coax Chris to go to bed. All week he’s working the early shift so he’s got to get up at 5 a.m.. Yikes! Of course, Ottawa and Anaheim are playing the fourth? Stanley Cup finals game tonight.

He would have stayed up to watch the whole game if he could have, and when Anaheim took the lead in the 2nd period he wanted to. I was keeping my fingers crossed that Ottawa would tie up the game because I knew I’d be able to coax him to get to bed if the game was at least tied.

Ottawa did tie it up so he’s in bed now. That’s a good thing too ’cause Anaheim just took the lead again!

Yes you read that right. I actually left the hockey game on even though Chris has gone to bed. I don’t know why … well other than the fact that I hope Ottawa wins this game too! Hey, it’s my home town, I gotta hope the Sens win!





We lost!

by

I did end up watching most of the hockey game last night. As I said Chris and I ended up cleaning out our freezer last night due to a thawing problem we had earlier in the week so the hockey game was put on pause on the DVR while we did that.

By the time we finished throwing out food from the freezer and making dinner it was definitely time for me to relax. Now, watching hockey when I’m trying to relax isn’t all that relaxing but I did end up getting into the game towards the third period.

It was a close game with the Senators scoring the first goal, then by the third period the game was tied 2 to 2, but in the last few minutes Anaheim scored another goal and won the game 3 to 2.

Oh well, that’s ok. There’s still possibly six games left to play. Ottawa could still win.

You know, if I complain about watching hockey at this time of year Chris turns around and looks at me and says something like “But this could be the last hockey game of the year!” You know, like there’s nothing else to live for. It’s kind of funny.

Hockey Night in Canada

by

Well it’s the first night of the Stanley cup finals! Go Ottawa Senators!!!!

I like hockey, especially if it’s my hometown team that wins, but I’m not all that into watching it.

I’ve had a lot of work to finish up in the last 24 hours and I’m getting close to having it all done so I was looking forward to just relaxing for the rest of the evening. Unfortunately, since I’m not all that into watching hockey on TV I think I’m going to end up working on my sites for a while.

My husband on the other hand managed to put two window air-conditioners in and he’s now glued to the tv set. Sigh ….

If I want to relax I’m going to have to watch hockey ….

This is almost how I react when Chris steals my pen

by

Ok I just wrote a post about Chris being the biggest pen thief in the world. Is it no wonder, is it, that I get kind of paranoid about my own pens?

Just like this Kids in the Hall video, I will not accept a pen from him that isn’t mine or the one that I specifically want to use. Part of that comes from having my favorite pens stolen by him, and the other part is that I’m a lefty and only certain pens are comfortable for me to use for writing.

I’m not quite as bad as the guy in this video, but to Chris – who immediately went and found this video when I had him read the post I just wrote about him, I must seem this way at times:

My Pennnnnnn!!!!! You’ve got my Pen!!! At least we can laugh at each other.

BTW have you noticed that I’ve really upped the Canadian related content this week? It’s purely by accident. Kids in the Hall is of course an old Canadian program produced by Loren Michaels, a Canadian, the producer of Saturday Night Live.

School Shooting in Toronto

by

OMG I’ve just heard that at about 2:30 pm this afternoon there was a school shooting here in Toronto.

The male student was shoot in one of the schools hallways. He was rushed to one of our trauma hospitals shortly after the incident, but I’ve just heard that he’s died.

Yes, we’ve had school shootings before, knifing’s and mob attacks. Once such mob attack incident happened just down the street from here about two years ago. It’s still a tragic and unusual event when it happens.

I feel just terrible that this has happened.
