I won one of the prizes in my company's Valentine's Day baking contest! :D I made this Mexican Chocolate Tart and made a heart pattern with the pecans. I also ended up with a ton of extra pecans so I've been snacking on those, hehe. My feelings on Valentine's Day have varied over the years, though I've been single for nearly all of them...at this ( Read more... )

Bleh, haven't posted here in forever. Hope everyone's doing alright. I actually had to check my journal to see when I last posted something, looks like it was during the NLCS? Yikes. So much has happened!

I've found it difficult to keep up with hockey since I stopped going to boards a few months back. :/ There are about four or five sites I'll look at when I remember, which is not regularly. Today I went to TSN during work breaks, so at least I've been able to follow the FA stuff ( Read more... )

Okay, I was up at insane hours last night...I had about two glasses of champagne and that (plus the dance music coming from a neighboring house through the aforementioned insane hours) kept me from going to sleep. Just celebrated with family, nothing major as I don't care much for New Year's Eve ( Read more... )

That was an odd game. Good in the end, of course, but odd. I also noticed that Ehrhoff and Bernier had goals in the Canucks' win over the Avs. Actually, Ehrhoff had two goals plus an assist on Bernier's goal. Good stuff ( Read more... )

Watching the clip of Cheechoo after his first day at training camp during commercials. When I heard that he had been traded, I wasn't surprised, but I'm still going to miss him. :/ My dad will, too. Cheech was his favorite Shark. Is Milan up there yet? I read that he wasn't going to be there right away because he had to wait for a visa ( Read more... )

So State of the Sharks happened tonight. I was gonna go...then I wasn't...then I ended up going, but work got a little hectic and I barely missed the train I was going to take down there. I caught the next one, but that meant that I got to HP right before the event started. There was quite the turnout. I ended up sitting in the upper level. ( Read more... )

I MEANT to. But then I ended up wasting a bunch of time reading up on the whole Phoenix Coyotes situation. o_O So...say things fall in such a way that Balsillie gets the team and they move to Hamilton or wherever. How will everything be realigned? Or will they remain in the Pacific like the Sonics/Thunder stayed in the Northwest (which wouldn' ( Read more... )

My energy has been low all week. :( I don't know if it's from lack of sleep or the weather going from cold to hot to cold or stuff going around at the office or what. Ugh. Probably a big mix of all that. So I've been watching the playoffs and like...not getting overly excited or bummed. Maybe that's a good thing, I don't know.

I don't know why this comment on Puck Daddy made me laugh so much, but it did:

Jesus, why does there always have to be someone that just can't help but be a fishy clam (my friends and I refer to these type of people as "Derek Roy")?I was at the Coyotes-Sharks game last night...took my dad and actually sat club level, which was random. We were ( Read more... )
