Especially Troy Brouwer's hockey butt.

( His legs are nice too )

And it is awesome.

Went to the hockey game tonight. The Dallas Stars showed up. Unfortunately, the Caps' defense did not. What is it about teams with Stars in their name or on their helmet? I don't mind if the Cowboys own the Redskins but I really wish the Caps had owned the Stars. We just do not play well against Western Conference teams ( Read more... )

In February of 2010 unwrittenkitten mentioned something about NaBloPoMo and although it wasn't November, I decided to give it a shot. I had so much fun with it that when November rolled around, I wanted to do it again. And now it's November and I'm ready to give it a shot again. Not sure how long these posts will be - I'm sure it will depend on how long my ( Read more... )

I have made two discoveries lately: Chobani Greek yogurt and Glaceau Vitamin Water. The Chobani pineapple and mango flavors are my favorites. Fage is another favorite but I think I like Chobani a little better. The Vitamin water has taken the place of soda for me. I stick to the ones with truvia (no sugar) and the orange and lemonade flavors are ( Read more... )

Train tickets have been purchased and we have two rooms at a boutique (and hopefully bedbug free) hotel in Chelsea. We decided to forgo a couple of plays in favor of MoMA, mani's and pedi's, shopping, and of course eating. So we settled on Driving Miss Daisy because hello, it's James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave and thanks to Amex, we got 2nd ( Read more... )

So 2011 definitely got off to an interesting start. Had a family issue yesterday morning/afternoon that, while bad for my youngest sister, made me feel pretty good as a big sister. Long story short, she was having a major anxiety attack and since I was the only one near her, my dad called me to help her. I wasn't raised with my half sisters (I ( Read more... )

Seriously, why do the traffic gods hate me? Went to the Caps game tonight. We left a half hour late, which normally would be no big deal. But tonight traffic was backed up on the Beltway and that caused back ups every where else. We got to the Phone Booth ten minutes into the 1st period. Thankfully, there was still no score so we didn't miss ( Read more... )

Just got home from the hockey game and what a game it was! Caps were ahead 3-0 at the end of the 2nd period and my friend, Cheryl, proclaimed that she was the Caps' lucky charm (it was her first Caps game in a couple of years). Halfway through the 3rd period, the Bruins tied it up. I turned to Cheryl and told her she had jinxed us. Not only that ( Read more... )

I have been very cranky lately (no surprise if you read my previous post). And judging by the general attitude around here, I think most people who live in this area right now are also very cranky. Why? Because of this freaking heat! It's now the 25th of September and for the past 4 - 5 days it's been well over 90 degrees. In September. We ( Read more... )
