Relaxing

          

Just relaxing before round 2.  My sister Karen is no doubt thrilled, no hockey tonight and she has control of the remote.  She is not a big sports fan and I can only imagine how nuts I am making her.  Not only do I HAVE to see my boys, but I want to see as many games as possible, even if it means staying up late to get the West coast games.  So you guessed it, it has pretty much been hockey, hockey, and more hockey in my household.  We get a bit of a break before round 2, which starts tomorrow.  The schedules now get a little goofy as each city has some things already booked in the arena's.  I told you about Dora Dora in Ottawa, and forgot all about our arena.  There is a concert on Friday and then the Bandits (Lacrosse team) has a playoff game Saturday.  So our games are Friday & Monday in Ottawa, then Wed and Thurs in Buffalo.  I hate back to back like that, but whatcha gonna do?  On our off nights there will be other games being played so I will surely get my fill.  Or... do I ever??  Nope!

 

Day today was pretty good.  Work gives out 2 hour passes for being recognized for 'good deeds', etc., and I have a stock pile of them.  I wanted to get a few out of the way so I actually left work early today and will use another tomorrow.  I did a few things on my home and ran a few errands for my son.  He has been a 'working dog' and runs out of time before he can get all his things done.  He loves his job and enjoys the money even more!  He went through a few different shifts and it looks like he may be on 3-11 Mon-Fri for the next few months.  It's a great shift for a 'newbie,' and perfect for him. Apparently the more senior employees are set in their schedule and don't want that one.  Family guys, etc., and don't want to be working every night of the week.  He has been getting as much OT as he wants and regularly works 12 hour shifts.  It's nice, but like I said he is limited on time to take care of business during the day.  I don't mind helping if I can or if he wants.  When I finally got home I thought I'd rest my eyes a bit.  ROFL and a couple hours later I sauntered out of my room, what a nap!  I was tired and new it, but didn't think I would sleep like that.

 

As it stands, it's a good thing I will be leaving early tomorrow.  I will be playing taxi for my nephew.  Getting him from work and driving him to a friends house as they head out for a Regatta they attend annually in the southern tier.  After that it will be my boys!  I suppose the ride will keep my mind off things and keep me from biting all my nails off.

 

I loved this graphic and played with it a few times.  I love the water movement but not sure I like the flow of the curtains.  It was tough because of the color schemes and the angle.  Overall I like it, and think it gives the 'relaxing' feeling I intended.  Gawd how nice it would be to be sitting on the porch with a 'hot tottie,' and enjoying the view.
