Gotta love a goalie fight.

Ok, so last nights Soundtigers game, wasnt the best in the world, actually they lost, but on the high side we got a couple of good fights and a Goalie fight

Playoff Push

Boston

Ok, so I went to see the Bruin's play the Leaf's on Thursday, it's wasn't a good game if you were a Bruin's fan (sorry Doug) but we still had a great time in the city

It started out with a nice drive up to Boston and a yummy lunch at the Ye Old Oyster House in Fanuiel Hall.

Ohhh yeah, then drinks at the Black Rose after lunch (hey gotta love the Irish Pub in Boston)

All in all it was a great day and we had fun, and hopefully we can do it again really soon.

Cheaters never win!!

Ok, so it's true what does the perfect season mean if you can' win the big game.

I guess they just wanted everyone to think that the Pat's could do it. I know I've been saying all along cheaters never win, but this time it actually meant something.

I know I'm not Giants fan, and No I didn't jump on a bad wagon I was just rooting against the team that cheated their way into the superbowl.

Now I know it's gonna be a long off season and with hope the Miami Dolphins will do next year what the New York Giant's were able to do tonight!!

Hershey, it's not just for Chocolate!!!

Ok, the 1st road trip of the season, we went to Hersehy, we took a little drive, off to see our favorite little hockey team. And since we were there, we went to Chocolate town. And to take a little Chocolate town ride....Sadly the cows in the ride so say SMOOOOOOOOOTH any more, they now sing and say Chocolate is MOOOOOOtricious!!!

After Chocolate town...off to Hockeytown....Ok, so the outcome of the game wasn't exactly what we wanted they lost....and yes they deserved to lose.

After the 1st period they fell asleep.....and never woke up again. The only bright spot on the team....was the player that I wanted to see, my favorite player, New York Islander Shawn Bates, he was sent down to Bridgeport for a conditioning stint, it was his 1st game that he played since Jan 30, 2007. So it's been almost a year sinces hes actually played in a game, and during that 1st game he scored his very 1st Soundtiger GOAL!!!!

That was a wondeful thing too. I got to see the 1st goal that he scored this season, and it was a pretty one.

Really the main reason we went to Hersey was I wanted to get my Jersey signed, i've waited for 3 years to get his Jersey signed, and now....IT'S FINALLY SIGNED!!!!

He was really nice about it too, so thats a good thing. So my night was complete, the only thing left to do....Drive home from Hershey.

Finally after a quick stop to get something to drink and a not so quick stop for dinner and gas, we got home at 330am....uggghhh!!!

My Vacation.....

I'm a little delayed with posting, but I'm almost back to my normal self here in my new home.

I want to thank Maxine, for a wonderful "vacation" she sent me some great goodies from England.

Some yummy chocolates, and tea, and some awesome yarns.

I really want to thank her, and so sorry it took me so long to post it.

Home Sweet Home....Finally

I have to say, I'm finally moved in. It me a long time to do, but now, I'm in. And hey almost settlted, it's gonna take me a little bit to get everything in and done, but it's a work in progress, and I think it will be for a little while still.

But, right now, everything is unpacked and all utilities are working (ok, so I lived without cable for 5 days and when the cable man got here today, they told me...hey you actually have cable, it was already turned on UGGGHHH!!!! I could have at least watched the last baseball game of the season (for us anyway) but thats ok to, it's hockey season, and we won't even mention football season, there are 11 weeks left and if we are lucky the dolphins may actually win 1 or 2 of those games.

Once all the craziness dies down, I will have everyone over for a visit.

See you soon.

I just had to share this one!!!!

Why did the yankees have to lose on my Birthday!!!

So it was a beautiful day at Yankee Stadium, unfortunatly I didn't get the outcome that I was hoping for.







But then again, when they play on my birthday, I ususally don't. The Yankees played Tampa Bay, but really since they are playing the last place team, that dosen't automatically involve a win for them...ususally it just doesnt even end well for them.




Phil Hughes was looking for his 1st win at Yankee Staduim....but guess what...he's still looking...for some reason....I think when he pitches....the rest of the team just dosen't show up.



All in all it was a great day. I even got my picture taken with Derek Jeter...well sorta.




All I can say is

LET'S GO YANKEES!!!!

And theres still a lot of baseball left to play....I think they can still do it.

I did a crazy thing....

Ok when have you known me not to do crazy things.

I bought a new car but it was about that time for me to do so...and no that wasn't the really crazy thing, but how many people do you know buy a new car and buy the exact same car that they just got rid of....ummm I did!!

Well there was a couple of good reasons for it. The new car when I drove it off the lot on wednesday night had 1 mile on it...ok now it has just a few more, but thats ok too.

But today it officially feels like my car. I installed the Sirius, which made me happy because I hate terrestial radio...it's all about the Sirius!!!



Now my question is for you. Can you tell which is the old and which is the new!!!

I finished my socks!!!

I just had to post some pictures. I finaly finished my 1st pair of socks.

Yes they were torture, they were awful, and terrible, and the 1st sock was frogged about a million times.

I didn't have 2nd sock syndrome and I now have my very 1st pair of hand knit socks, which I love. I can't wait to make another pair.

Because I didn't have enough yarn I had to go buy more.

I know I probably shouldn't have bought more yarn, but I did.

I found out about the best sale about 2 months ago and have been waiting patiently for it. Farmhouse Yarns had an awsome sale, it was by invitation only and she had bins and bins of yarn, just about anything you could think of....I found. I was able to get a really good deal. I save myself over $200.00 by buying it today.

I only had to take an hour drive to East Haddam to go get it. I even got to see some of the sheep that it came from.

I can't wait to start knittin with it. I don't know what I'm going to make, but I'm sure I will figure something out.

Whale Watch Weekend....aka...WWW

It was a great weekend!!!

One of my friends asked me if we could go away for the weekend and go on a whale watch, so I took my little travel agent skills and planned us a trip.

We stayed in Danvers MA and drove up early saturday morning, had alot of fun. After an easy ride up, and a late lunch, we went to get our boat....which was seven seas whale watch we saw lots of whales.







After the whale watch, we went wandering around gloucester as well, which is such a cute little town.



After a long day in sun we went to dinner (at the ever so exciting Chili's) we decided to explore the hotel a little bit....it was beautiful.



Then it was off to bed, the next day we got up and went to explore Salem. We wandered around the city a little bit and we walked up and down Essex Street and did a little shopping, then off to the Cemetary, I saw the graves of some famous people, so that was cool too.

All in all it was a great weekend, and I can't wait to do it again

Stitch and Pitch

Ok, so I had my own little version of the real thing....actually I do this probably 2 times a month or so.

We have a local independant team in town, so we go a lot. And I ususally bring my knitting.

But yesterdays game was a little more special than ususal.

I finished a sock!!!! Ok, so it was just one sock, but it's done, and that's all that matters. I can't believe it's done. I hope the next one is a little bit easier. I'm sure it will be.



And yes, that is my foot.....with the game behind it. And in case you were wondering, its the New Haven County Cutters....and they won the game.

Who ever said socks were easy to knit....LIED!!!!

Ok, so I deceided to knit my 1st pair of socks. Ok thats all well and good, but I'm about 12 hours of knitting in and I'm driving myself crazy.



I've got some progress going, but I really thought I was not going to make it when I turned the heel, the flap was frogged about 5 times and lets not even talk about turning it. WOW!!!



But now I think I finally got a handle on it and I'm doing better. I like the way they are turning out, so maybe in a day or so I'll have it done, and not to worry, I won't end up with SSS (Second Sock Syndrome)

Wish me luck.
